TAP A DRAFT STARTER SYSTEM (no air shipment) Description

The Tap-A-Draft is an economical and space saving portable beer dispensing system. Three (BPA free)6 liter PET bottles hold 4.75 gallons of beer, virtually all of a 5 gallon batch.

The Tap-A-Draft features a 6 liter BPA-free PET bottle, which screws onto the tapping unit for dispensing. The tapping unit holds two eight gram C02 cartridges, and features a preset regulator that dispenses the C02 from the two cartridges into the bottle at an even rate, so you can leave the unit for a month or two, and still dispense all the beer with the two eight gram cartridges (also used for seltzer bottles).

When brewing beer for the Tap-A-Draft, prime the beer first by using 3 ounces of corn sugar per 5 gallon batch (about half a cup). Then fill the bottles and seal with the included 38mm screw caps. Let age like bottled beer until they are carbonated (this system will not artficially carbonate beer by C02 injection). To serve, remove the cap and screw on the Tap-A-Draft tapping head, insert two 8 gram C02 cartridges into the unit, chill and dispense.

Two eight gram C02 cartridges will dispense the entire 6 liters of beer, and the built in regulator will keep pressure steady for up to two months. The 6 liter pet bottles are usable until they become damaged, usually for at least 6 batches. The pet bottles will keep beer fresh for 4 months.  For longer beer storage, look to our Mini Keg Systems or full-sized Beverage systems. You will need 6 cartridges to dispense three bottles (4.75 gallons). A portable space-saving draft system at a great price

Includes the Tap-A-Draft tap, drip tray, 10 eight gram C02 cartridges, and 3 six liter pet plastic bottles (with 3 caps). Everything you need to bottle and dispense 4.75 gallons of beer. The assembled unit with bottle and tap is 15" long, and 7.5" in diameter.  The sealed bottles themselves are 12.5" long, and 7.5" in diameter.

Pros:  Very easy, compact system that fits nicely in your kitchen refrigerator. Very simple and economical. Initially I was concerned about making good seals and the ability of the system to hold pressure, but in use the system has been very reliable. An easy way to transition away from all bottling without investing in a true keg system. I used this system initially with metal 5 L minikegs but prefer the plastic bottles. 
Cons:  CO2 cartridges are an ongoing expense but relatively minor.
