Tap fittings for quality-conscious beer lovers
As a beer lover, you know of course that a perfectly tapped beer from the barrel is clearly superior to even the best bottled beer in terms of liveliness.
Apart from tap systems with wet or dry cooling, compact tap fittings with a hammer tap are also becoming increasingly popular.
If you are looking for a high-quality tap fitting for pouring draft beer, you have come to the right place. Because we offer you numerous tap fittings with brass taps and other practical accessories that you can use for serving beer.
Everything you need to know about tap fittings at a glance
Why does draft beer taste better?
At the latest when draft beer and bottled beer are compared directly with each other, the taste benefits of draft beer are clearly recognizable. This is simply due to the fact that draft beer is more carbonated.
The difference is just a few percent. Still, that's enough to give the beer from the KEG its inimitable, tangy taste. If you want to enjoy this alone or with guests in the future, the purchase of a beer tap can definitely be worthwhile.
Tap fitting with barrel stopcock
In order to serve fresh draft beer, you do not necessarily have to buy a tap system. A high-quality tap fitting with a keg stopcock is a good alternative for beer lovers for this purpose.
The keg stop cock can be attached directly to a suitable beer keg and enables beer to be served even without a tap. A keg stop cock is usually provided with air holes so that the draft beer does not drip too much when being served.
There are tap fittings with a barrel stopcock and an air valve made either from plastic or metal, such as brass. Metal is usually more robust, which accordingly ensures a longer service life for the clothing.
Tap fittings as a practical solution for private use
In the catering industry, of course, the use of classic dispensing systems is the rule. For private use, however, this is not absolutely necessary and a tap fitting with a keg stopcock is an increasingly popular alternative to beer tap.
A decisive reason for the increasing popularity of tap fittings is without a doubt the comparatively low price. In addition, it is also easy to use.
In addition, tap fittings of course hardly take up any storage space. Depending on how much space is available, this can be an important criterion. For safe storage and uncomplicated transport, you can find tap fittings in our shop, which are delivered in a robust plastic cassette.
High-quality tap fittings score with durability
If you are interested in buying a beer tap, you will quickly see how large the selection is. Make sure that the set of your choice leaves nothing to be desired in terms of quality.
Because even if tap fittings with a brass tap may cost a little more than plastic models, you can be sure that you will enjoy your purchase for as long as possible. In this context, please also note that plastic scratches quickly when it is cleaned. This means that deposits can form more easily, which not only affect the taste of the beer, but also the hygiene when serving.
You should therefore invest a little more and look forward to a long-lasting tap fitting that is also visually impressive.
Clean the tapping set regularly
Exactly like when serving with a classic tap system, it is of course essential to ensure adequate hygiene and to thoroughly remove beer residues from the tap when tapping with a compact tap fitting.
Otherwise, deposits will inevitably form, which impair the taste of the beer and encourage the growth of bacteria and germs. To avoid this, it is best to clean your tap fitting after every use.
In this way, you prevent health risks for yourself and your guests and also ensure that the taste of your draft beer on tap can persist over the long term.
If you need cleaning and care products for your tap fitting, you can also find them in our shop if you need them.
Draw only cold beer with a beer tap
A classic tap system is equipped with wet or dry cooling. This ensures that the beer is cooled before it flows out of the tap. If you use a simple tap fitting with a keg stopcock, however, it looks different.
Due to the lack of integrated cooling, it is necessary to cool the beer keg well before connecting the tap to ensure perfect taste and problem-free tapping.
Spigot with the tap fitting: Practice makes perfect
It is not unusual that tapping with a tap does not work as desired straight away and that almost nothing but foam escapes during your first attempts. This is due to the escape of the carbonic acid contained in the barrel.
With a little practice, however, it usually doesn't take too long before you can finally tap with the tap and you can enjoy the first perfectly tapped beers with your guests.
