It took a whole week for me to get sick of the %}#**€ picnic taps that came with my keg system. They constantly leak and are just a pain in the %%###€£¥. 2 regular 2 flow control and a stout faucet all with shanks on the way. I hope the Perlicks will be a better experience. The picnic taps wasted nearly half a keg of the best I have made to date. Skip the "cheaper " taps and go straight for the best first time out......lesson learned.
