Review on SS WV2 🍺 Stainless Steel Home Brew Equipment by Chris Castro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MASH DO NO GO! in ball valves

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO USE IT ON THE MACHINE! As mentioned in other reviews, the nipple that comes with this product is too short and needs to be replaced (which such SS stuff is hard to find at any hardware store). I'm sure this product works great on a teapot. (Update, this ball valve works great on a kettle.) I originally gave this product 3 stars because I got an amazing ball valve with all the right accessories (other than the nipple) for a great price ($22). I wouldn't pay a dime more than I did. It's losing two stars because I believe this product comes with a second metal washer (update: no need for a second metal washer as the nut works fine in the reservoir) and a useless nipple (and the trouble of finding an SS nipple on one) should be delivered reasonable price). Updated review: I use this ball valve on my Home Depot 10 gallon water cooler. I had to replace the supplied nipple with the one that came with my bazooka screen. A little teflon tape later and my cooler is sealed. I've added one star back to my original rating, but I'm still deducting a star due to nipple issues.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Without automatic
