Save on Recently Released NukaTap Mini Faucets!

The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout. It also has new innovations like integrated over molded Santoprene® seals, which will last the life of the faucet without replacement. The faucet body is molded from POK plastic which can withstand autoclave temperatures, and the over molded seals can withstand the harshest cleaning chemicals. Over molded seals get rid of O rings, eliminating the places behind O rings where crud and bacteria can hide.The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout. It also has new innovations like integrated over molded Santoprene® seals, which will last the life of the faucet without replacement. The faucet body is molded from POK plastic which can withstand autoclave temperatures, and the over molded seals can withstand the harshest cleaning chemicals. Over molded seals get rid of O rings, eliminating the places behind O rings where crud and bacteria can hide.

Due to it being made of POK plastic with a POK molded shuttle, the first pour from a Nukatap Mini will have less foam than from a conventional metal faucet due to the fact that cold beer cools down POK plastic faster than it does metal. The POK plastic also insulates better than brass or stainless, a helpful feature between pours.

The Mini debuts a new shank system which eliminates the need to drill a 7/8” hole in your cooler or refrigerator door. The new Nukatap Mini Shanks (available for 8mm and 6.5mm Evabarrier tubing) use EvaBarrier tubing to draw the beer right to the tap, and are secured with three screws to the outside, preventing the shank from rotating, a common problem with metal shanks and coolers.


Some retailers have struggled to keep Nukatap Mini in stock. They’ve been out of stock for months at a time. As of this update nearly all options and accessories are in stock at William’s Brewing

Announcing: KegLand Nukatap Gen 2 Flow Control Faucets

NukaTap® Stainless Steel Beer Faucet | Flow Control Gen 2 | Forward Sealing

NukaTap® Stainless Steel Beer Faucet | Flow Control Gen 2 | Forward Sealing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • G2 model features redesigned flow control mechanism for improved shank sealing and flow control
  • Make instant adjustments to beverage flow as you pour
  • Switch from pouring pints to filling growlers without adjusting your CO2 regulator
  • Reduced first pour foam due to low thermal mass
  • Forward-sealing design prevents beer residue from gumming up the faucet
  • Unique shuttle design greatly improves laminar flow, improving the pour of carbonated beverages
  • Compatible with all Intertap faucet accessories and shanks

Generation 2
The NukaTap Flow Control G2 uses a completely new flow control mechanism with better sealing properties against the shank as well as improved flow control.

Control the Flow
The flow control model is a great option for users that often switch between beer styles with different carbonation levels. No need to rebalance your lines or play with your regulator settings. Instantly make adjustments as you pour to dial in the flow rate. This is also a super convenient feature for when you want to grab a quick growler on your way out. By dialing back the flow rate, you can gently fill your growler so CO2 stays in solution and your beer doesn’t pour flat when it comes time to share. The NukaTap Flow Control faucet is also the first FC model to be fully compatible with the optional self-closing spring.

First Pour Foam Reduction
Every kegerator owner knows the letdown of pouring your first pint of the day and getting too much foam. Even with perfectly balanced draft lines, first pour foam is sometimes unavoidable simply due to the temperature of the faucet itself. Running beer through the faucet will drop the temperature, and the foaming will subside, but not without a bit of wasted beer from pouring off excess head. The NukaTap beer faucet drops to beer serving temperature much faster thanks to its lower thermal mass. Simply put, the bulkier the faucet is, the more beer is needed to flow through and chill the tap. The NukaTap is over 20% lighter than its Intertap predecessor, and even lighter still compared to other brands of faucets.

Improved Laminar Flow
The inspiration for the NukaTap name comes from its uniquely designed “nuke-shaped” shuttle that resides on the inside of the faucet. The NukaShuttle went through numerous rounds of redesigns and countless hours of testing to find a shape that provides superior laminar flow. This means that liquid passes by the shuttle with very little resistance, allowing highly carbonated beers or hard seltzers to pour like a dream.

Sanitary Design
The NukaShuttle is the world’s first seamless single-piece design. Traditional taps feature an o-ring seated on a stainless steel shuttle, which can cause a couple of issues. After many pours, the stainless shuttle rubbing against the internal body of the faucet will create small fissures that become potential infection sites, and the seated o-ring can be difficult to clean in place, making your draft cleaning and sanitizing process less effective than you realize. The NukaShuttle is an advanced TPV rubber matrix that has been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This single-piece design eliminates the pitfalls of older manufacturing methods, making it one of the most sanitary faucets on the market.

Forward Sealing vs. Rear Sealing
From tap rooms to home bars, forward-sealing faucets are the ideal choice for any draft setup. In traditional rear-sealing taps, beer will drain out of the entire faucet when it’s in the closed position. This means the internal mechanism is coated in beer, which then dries and becomes a sticky residue. Forward-sealing faucets, on the other hand, keep the tap full of beer so it never has a chance to dry and gunk up the internal parts. This makes the faucet much easier to clean and also reduces the chance of off flavors transferring to your beer while you pour.

  • Made from stainless steel
  • Shuttle made from TPV
  • O-rings made from EPDM

Kegland Part Number: KL15523


 

Flow control faucets feature a built in flow compensator that allows you to adjust the resistance your faucet is exerting.  That means less tubing and potentially less foaming and wasted beer. The compensation feature also makes it easier to serve higher carbonation beers as you can set the faucet to provide resistance to offset the increased pressure needed to store and serve these beers at higher pressures.  Instead of replacing your beer line with ever increasing lengths of tubing, you simply turn a knob to increase resistance.

Nukatap Gen 1 Stainless Flow Control Faucet Closeout

Nukatap Gen 1 Stainless Flow Control Faucet

Nukatap Gen 1 Stainless Flow Control Faucet

More Info

THESE ARE THE OLDER GEN 1 NUKATAP FLOW CONTROL

The Nukatap Gen 1 Flow Control Faucet features an exclusive Nukashuttle valve that improves laminar flow for reduced foam and turbulence. As in all Nukataps, first pour foam reduction is achieved through a a reduction in thermal mass by the use of molded rather than stainless interior parts. The tap is often the warmest part of the draft system as it protrudes from the beer tower or refrigerator. As a result, it acts like a heat sink and only works well once enough cold beer flows through it to cool the tap body down. By making the inner shuttle out of lightweight food grade plastic, thermal mass is reduced.

Flow control is best for customers who are often switching from one beer style to the next and want maximum flexibility in their draft system (we generally recommend flow control faucets for customers who dispense commercial kegs, not home brew).

The new Nukataps have been manufactured with a 2.5 degree reverse angle. This allows for a wider range of taps handles to be used, in particular, long and/or heavy handles to work perfectly irrespective of the installation conditions.

Nukatap Flow Control Keg Faucet

There are a wide variety of options for how to take your kegged homebrew with you to a party or meet up with friends. There is a big draw to kegging your homebrew because of how it simplifies the process of serving your beer after it’s finished in the fermentor. But it’s obviously less portable than individual bottles. There are mini keg/growlers you can fill from the tap, or bottle fillers that you can connect right to your tap. But these options all come with the extra step of cleaning and filling additional “stuff”. Being able to serve directly from the keg has advantages from that perspective.

Flow Control Faucet Disassembled

The most common option of serving from the keg is the picnic tap/cobra tap attached to a length of beer tubing. The downside of cobra taps is their propensity to fail, or propensity of your partygoers to not know what they’re doing and end up spilling/wasting a lot of beer. A jockey box is great for a bigger event where you’re going to be pouring a lot of beer over a longer period of time. But these are expensive, big/bulky to haul around, and makes another thing that has an involved cleaning process afterwards.

There have been ball lock keg faucets out on the market for some time. But unless you’re using these on a growler with a restrictive dip tube in it, these aren’t very practical. Putting a regular faucet on a keg gives you a cup of mostly foam unless you take special care to nearly de-carb your beer first (and who likes flat beer?). For these to work properly when directly attached to a keg, you need a flow control faucet. Kegland’s ball lock shankReview – has the same interface as a regular keg shank like you have on your keezer, so they just mate this to their regular Nukatap. Then you can serve directly from the keg, and it’s not a big piece of gear to haul around with you or clean up later.

The LUKR side-pour faucets are well known all around the world for their unique design and special pouring abilities! These faucets are instruments of artists, which can positively affect taste and other qualities of poured beer. This European-style side-pour faucet features a unique side pull action that allows users to recreate the traditional pouring methods used for such world-renowned beers as Pilsner Urquell and other Czech Pilsners.

To operate, you can turn the lever to adjust the pour style you are going for. Opening it just a little creates a dense and thick foam on the beer, while opening it all the way creates a bright, strong pour much like a typical beer faucet. Internally, a micro screen aerates the beer much like the sparkler in a stout faucet. With this faucet, you will be able to recreate the three different traditional ways in which Pilsner Urquell is poured: The Hladinka, Šnyt, and Mlíko!

BEER GLASS SELECTION

Choosing the right beer glass is just as important as the faucet when doing side pull style pours. Lukr faucets are designed to be inserted all the way into the glass so the nozzle can be IN the beer while pouring. This is essential for making sure the foam stays on top of the liquid and is ultimately what sets LUKR faucets apart from others. We have found that 0.5-Liter mugs (like the one pictured above) are the best option when pouring with your LUKR faucet.
