Review on D1261 Pluto Beverage - Premium Homebrewers Outpost Option by William Obong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great alternative to picnic fittings

I think this is my first Revain review but I should have commented here as I think the only other review (so far) may have received or reviewed the wrong product . This version is definitely stainless steel. It's shiny, massive, and works great. I've had issues with leaking picnic faucets or forced lowering where the fridge door sometimes tugged on the tether when closed. Twice I've lost over 4 gallons of beer due to an open/leaky picnic faucet resulting in a huge mess. Upon unpacking this item, I was struck by how durable this item felt. After a short disassembly and disinfection I put it back on a barrel and let it break. It pours very well when fully open and even spurts a quick froth over your beer when you pull on it a little like a picnic faucet did. when I first installed it. But as soon as it got cold everything was fine when I hang the taps from the keg in the fridge. If you can't (or don't want to) keep this beer gun in the fridge, the plastic version might be the best option to prevent foaming. This is a great option for those looking to upgrade their picnic taps but don't want to install regular beer taps like Perlick etc. Update 09 April 2020 - Continues to serve (ha!) well. Second order for barrel #2.
