You would need the Racking Adapter $34.99 and Simple Flo Valve $19.08 for the port. I already have them, so not an issue for me, but no doubt, quite pricey. I guess something could be rigged up, the port hole is 3/4", someone here once said the valve from the Mr. Beer fermenter fit. But the nice thing about the original is the dip tube which can be rotated to just above the trub.
