Pin Lock Post O-Rings, Bulk Quantities on Sale + an OUTSTANDING Deal on Pin Lock QDs

PIN LOCK Post O-Rings!

Pin Lock users are regularly left out when it comes to parts and accessories. Point in case… I am aware of very few offerings for pin lock post o-rings (0 offerings in bulk). Most shops sell the same o-ring for both ball and pin lock posts. Pin lock post o-rings are larger than ball lock post o-rings.

From Valuebrew:

All count options are on sale. Prices range from $4.99 to $10.99 depending on quantity

Applies to 10 and 25 count options.
Mix and match – Choose from – ball or pin lock post, dip tube, internal QD and universal poppet
Valid for US addresses.

Swing Top Growler Cap & Adapter from Valuebrew

These convert standard standard screw top growlers to a swing top closure. They are easy enough to install and uninstall that you can move them from growler to growler

These are an easy upgrade to standard growlers that generally seal better and look better. Very nice for when you’re locked into using a certain growler for a refill or to dress up cheap glass growlers.

Check out my Hands on Review!

This is really a re-announcement. These were available a few years back under the ToteGlass brand. They were very popular. They typically sold out in short order each time I posted that a batch was available. They became unavailable months ago. According to the product page, Valuebrew has worked with the manufacturer to re-introduce them!

Quantity discounts are available. Valuebrew also offers replacement gaskets.

For a limited time Valuebrew is including 3 free replacement gaskets when you buy 3 or more swing top caps. No coupon code required, just check the box to get your free gaskets. Price per cap drops the more you purchase with the 6 cap offering having the lowest price.

A Valuebrew Exclusive! Stainless Steel Universal Replacement Poppets with our Food Safe Silicone O-Rings.

These work with all standard Ball Lock and Pin Lock homebrew kegs.

Ever wonder what other universal poppet o-rings are made of? Us too, after all this is one of the most high contact o-rings in you draft beer setup. We took matters into our own hands and worked with our suppliers to source a 304 Stainless Steel + Food Grade Silicone option. Stainless steel construction on all the metal parts and premium quality food grade silicone for the o-ring.

Our pledge to you… Let’s face it, the stainless pieces in most universal replacement poppets should last a long, long time. How about the o-rings? Not so much… lost, broken, cracked, off smell. This is where our pledge comes in… we’ll always carry replacement o-rings for these universal poppets. No need to guess what size replacements to buy or completely replace your universal poppets because you don’t have a reliable source for replacements.

I use universal style poppets exclusively when rebuilding kegs. Finding the right OEM specific replacement poppets can be a chore. Beyond finding the right part number, these can be prohibitively expensive. Paying $10 to $14, or more, for an OEM poppet isn’t fun. In fact, if you really had to pay that, it may not even make sense to keep the keg.

I’ve long advocated to tossing OEM o-rings immediately. You don’t know what they’re made of, and you can’t get replacements. Replacing them immediately with a known quality o-ring and known part number before trimming to fit means you’ll be using the right materials and have a source for replacements. See: Universal Poppet Tips & Tricks

Well… finally there’s an option that comes with quality o-rings made from the right materials out of the box! Beyond that, Valuebrew has pledged to always carry replacement o-rings, so you’ll always have a source when the time comes for replacements. Available in 5 and 10 packs with the option to add on a pack of replacement o-rings.

Color Code Keg Post O-Rings for Easy Identification:

Valuebrew carries two color schemes to color keg posts. Doing this allows you to quickly identify keg posts. Gray and Black match standard keg QD colors. Blue and Green are meant to be remembered by “Blue for Beer” and “Green for Gas”. All options are made from FDA rated silicone. Since they work equally well on gas and liquid posts you can also mix and match to come up with your own color coding standard.

More about food safe materials:

For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings. Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such.

The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials whenever we can. More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings
