Ceramic Beer Towers from Wholesaledraft

Simply the BEST. Our ceramic beer towers are the best the industry has to offer. The hardware and ceramic portions are actually imported from Italy, assembled then in our shop with American components so they are adaptable in the field. What makes Wholesaledraft ceramics so different from our competition?  The hardware portion and the faucets are actually high gloss platted which will not tarnish like the brass counter parts that are offered by others. The mounting hardware is heavy duty and simple to use, not rods and small nuts that rust. The ceramic portions are fired in Italy, their specialty. Offered in 5 colors, most always in stock so delivery is days, not months like others.

Add a touch of class to your bar top. It will be the talk of the night!

Beer Taps - Keg Couplers

This is the unit that actually "taps" the barrel. There are a few different keg taps to choose from:

US SANKEY FITTING
The most popular keg tap is called the U.S. Sankey fitting. This fitting taps all the Anheuser Busch, Miller and Coors products. It will also tap Labatts, Molson, Moosehead, and Fosters just to name a few. It is the most universal tapping fitting.

EUROPEAN SANKEY
The European sankey will fit Heineken, Amstel, St. Pauli Girl and Becks to name the most popular. We also carry Bass style "G" system, Guiness style "U" system, and Spaten style "A" system European couplers.

Breweries often change tap cooperage. To be totally sure you're buying the correct coupler, check with your local draft beer distributor or email us at sales@wholesaledraft.com. Whatever style you choose, Wholesaledraft will deliver a quality solid brass forged coupler. Do NOT be fooled by plastic imitations!

Beer Pumps

Beer pumps or Picnic pumps are portable units designed to operate at any indoor or outdoor event and Wholesaledraft has many styles to choose from. Icing your keg, attach the pump to the beer barrel and hand pump is all the instruction needed. No electricity or Co2 tank is needed.  These are perfect when all of the beer is consumed within 24 hours.  Because there is no Co2 being used, beer will go flat after a period of time. We've been asked many times if a hand pump can be used to dispense beer out of a refrigerator. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, you need Co2 to keep the keg of beer fresh over an extended period but pumps are perfect for any daily event.

Splitting Your Co2 Line

If ever you decide to tap more than one barrel at a time, you will need to split your Co2 line. There are a couple different ways. The easiest, and least expensive, is to purchase an air tee, #0190. Simply cut your Co2 hose, insert one end of the tee, and then you are able to push 2 air lines on the fitting and run them to your barrels. Make sure you use hose clamps (#6202) to attach the air hose to the tee so you don't lose any Co2. We also make Air Distributors so you can have an air shutoff on each Co2 line. For instance, our #0123C is a 3 way air distributor which will dispense up to 3 barrels of beer. Again simply run your air line from your primary regulator into the gas inlet fitting on the air distributor. Then, attach up to 3 airlines, 1 off each air shutoff, and run them to your barrels. This is the most convenient way to split your Co2 lines because you now have an air shutoff for each barrel. When 1 of your barrels is out you can simply shut off the air cock which goes to that barrel, un-tap and re-tap a new barrel, and then turn your shutoff back on. You do not need to shut down your whole system. These Air Distributors are available with up to 6 air shutoffs on line, and can be special ordered up to 10 or more!

Do you have enough Co2?

It's very important to make sure you have enough Co2 in your tank because "When you're out of Co2, you're out of beer" and that's a bad thing.  A safe formula for Co2 use is a pound of Co2 per 1/2 barrel of beer, which means a standard 5 lb Co2 tank should be plenty to dispense 5-1/2 barrels of beer. If your using 1/4 barrels, it should be plenty to dispense 10-1/4 barrels of beer. Wholesaledraft only sells New Co2 Aluminum Co2 tanks, our #0305, which when empty weigh 7 lbs (if you have a steel tank, weights will vary). If you were to weigh your Co2 tank after you get it filled it will weigh 12 lbs. So, say you have a party that you want to make sure you have enough gas for, remove your regulator and weigh your tank. If your tank weighs 9 lbs you know you have gas to dispense 2-1/2 barrels of beer. Of coarse the safest way to insure never running out of Co2 is to purchase an extra tank and then always make sure you get that tank filled!

Never running out of Co2 is a good thing!

Do I have a defective Co2 Regulator?

A Co2 primary regulator, our #0709 or #0710, is a very important component to any draft beer installation.  Always make sure your Primary regulator, the regulator which mounts on your Co2 tank, is meant for dispensing beer and comes complete with a safety device mounted on the body of the regulator which will blow at 50-60 psi..  If for some reason your regulator dispenses too much Co2, into your barrel of beer, this safety will release and not allow dangerous pressure levels into your barrel. Your beer regulator function is also important in maintaining a constant pressure on your barrel.  What if my regulator pressure fluctuates?  This can cause over carbonation, excessive foam, or under carbonation, flat beer.

There are many effects your regulator can cause and we'll talk more on those in the future.

Beer Faucet Very Important Component

Ever wonder why you can pour a good draft beer but your quests struggle?  It's very important to instruct them the proper way to dispense draft beer.  Many people approach the beer faucet very tentatively and are afraid to open it with authority.  When you do not open the beer faucet quickly and all the the way open, the beer will swirl and dispense foamy.  You must instruct them to be assertive and open it all the way in one quick motion.  Keeping your faucet clean is also very important.  Yeast will build up quickly in the faucet because this is the only component that is not refrigerated.  By removing your faucet and cleaning in beer line cleaner solution or warm water will prevent obstructions which can cause foam.
