dandanDan Dans Kit Tip#1- The Barrel!

2 years ago | dandan (Moderator)

I've got one budget barrel, When I dispense a pint it fills my glass with nearly half head and half beer.

So i thought how can I make a pub style tap out of my barrel tap, Whilst using a baster to take a sample to take a gravity reading, I had a brain wave!

The baster was the same shape has a pub beer dispenser so I held it on my tap and poured a better pint! but it wasn't secure, so I have searched high and low for a baster that fits the tap and Wilkos 50p!!! baster fits perfectly on the budget tap without any fitings needed!

Looking on the wilkos website the basters are now 57p!! must of put the price up ready for christmas!

The only tip I would give using the baster is dont open the tap full open, take your time to pour the pint!


Pint without baster

Pint with baster

50p well spent

On the barrel!
