High-quality tap fittings for discerning beer lovers
There is hardly a beer lover who is not enthusiastic about freshly tapped beer on tap and who always prefers it to bottled beer due to its particularly tangy taste.
In addition to a real beer dispenser with dry or wet cooling, practical tap fittings with a single tap have been enjoying increasing popularity.
If you need a suitable tap fitting for the bar, you've come to the right place. Because in our shop you will find a selection of high-quality tap fittings with taps made of brass as well as numerous other accessories for serving beer.
The most important information about tap fittings at a glance:
Why beer tastes better from the tap
At the latest when making a direct comparison, it becomes more than clear that draft beer rightly has the reputation of tasting better than bottled beer. This is simply because the carbon dioxide content in beer from the KEG is slightly higher.
Although the difference is only a few percent, that's enough to give the draft beer its unmistakable liveliness. With the help of the right tap set and a little practice, you too can look forward to an excellent beer enjoyment, with which you will of course also delight your guests.
Tap fittings with barrel stopcock
If you want to tap beer on tap, you do not necessarily have to buy a tap system for this purpose. Alternatively, you can also use a tap fitting with a so-called barrel stopcock for suitable barrels.
A keg stopcock is a tap that is attached directly to the beer keg so that the beer can be poured without a tap system. Barrel stop cocks usually have air holes that can be used to prevent the beer from dripping excessively when you tap.
Appropriate tap fittings with a stopcock and air valve are available made of plastic as well as metal such as brass, whereby the second variant usually proves to be much more robust and durable.
Tap fittings are particularly practical
In restaurants and bars, classic dispensing systems are likely to be used for serving beer in most cases. However, especially in the private sector, these are not absolutely necessary, so that tap fittings with barrel stop cock are very popular there.
On the one hand, of course, this is due to the significantly lower costs that are incurred when purchasing such a dispensing assembly compared to a complete dispensing system. Apart from that, however, it is also characterized by its uncomplicated handling.
In addition, only very little space is required for storing the tapping set, which can also be a great advantage depending on the available space. By the way, you will also find tap fittings with us that come with a compact and sturdy plastic cassette for storage and safe transport.
Durable tap fittings thanks to high-quality materials
There is a wide range of tap fittings to choose from. It is therefore sometimes not that easy to find a suitable model right away. When buying a tap fitting, you should always make sure that it is convincing with its good quality and high-quality materials.
Because a tap fitting with a robust tap made of brass will in all probability give you much longer pleasure than a particularly inexpensive beer tap made of plastic. One of the reasons for this is that taps made of plastic scratch more easily, especially when they are cleaned after use, which promotes deposits and thus affects the taste of the beer and hygiene.
It is therefore definitely worth investing a little more money in order to enjoy the tap fitting for much longer. Apart from that, a brass barrel stopcock naturally also looks a lot better than a model made of cheap plastic.
Regular cleaning of the tap fitting
Of course, when serving beer, it is also very important to ensure perfect hygiene when using a tap fitting. Because if beer residues are not regularly removed from the tap fitting, deposits will form over time.
These not only affect the taste of the beer. In addition, they are the ideal breeding ground for germs and bacteria. To ensure safe serving, it is therefore urgently recommended that the tapping set be cleaned regularly after use.
In this way you ensure that the tap does not pose a risk to the health of your guests due to contamination and also ensure that the draft beer always tastes exactly as it should taste.
If required, you will of course also find suitable products that you need for cleaning and caring for your tap and that you can also order from our shop.
Use tap fittings only for chilled kegs
Classic beer dispensing systems have an integrated dry or wet cooling system that ensures the right temperature for the beer. However, this is not the case with tapping with a tap.
For this reason, it is very important for good tapping results and an optimal beer taste that the keg is well cooled beforehand when serving with a tap fitting.
Spigot with tap fitting needs to be learned
During the first attempts it may well happen that primarily foam flows out of the barrel stopcock at first. This is because the carbon dioxide contained in the beer escapes from the barrel. However, it usually doesn't take long to figure out what to look out for.
With a little practice, you should therefore soon be able to draw your beer correctly with the help of your tap fitting, so that you and your guests can look forward to a flawless beer enjoyment.
