Keg Dispensing

Forward sealing taps, like the NukaTap, seal at the front of the tap rather than the back, so beer doesn't sit in the tap body between pours, dry out and get sticky. That makes them easier to keep clean than old rear sealing taps.

Flow control taps have a lever on the side to slow the pour, which helps with highly carbonated beer or short beer lines. A stout spout or stout/nitro coffee tap forces the drink through a restrictor disc for the dense, creamy head of a nitro pour.

A font, or beer tower, is the column on top of a kegerator that carries the beer lines up to the taps. Single, double and triple fonts mount through the top of the fridge. A T-bar puts four taps in a straight line, and the TT bar runs eight. Our font kits come with duotight short shanks and black tap handles but no taps, so you can choose the tap style.

Do the taps include a shank and handle?

The "tap only" listings are just the tap. Shanks and handles come with the font kits.

Can I add a tap to my kegerator later?

Yes, but it usually means a new font with more tap holes. Buying the tap count you want up front is cheaper.

What beer line length should I use?

For 4mm ID EVABarrier line, around 1.5 to 2.0m per tap balances typical serving pressures. Shorter lines pour foamy.

Can I pour nitro stout from my kegerator?

Yes, with a stout spout or stout tap, and nitrogen or beer gas through a Type 50 nitrogen regulator.
