Perlick 525ss... Again

[Anteater]

Hey guys, So I was about to pull the trigger on buying the perlick 525ss' and hit a really dumb wall... Where to buy them from.

http://www.perlick.com/store/ - $58.27+shipping/tax for tap and shank... problem is the shank section of the store is said to go with the 400 series faucets

and of course, Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047SHADG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

$45.90 + $7.95 shipping + tax

Anywhere else to buy them, or which one should I get?

Probably going to be hard to beat the Amazon combo price - but do note that package uses a chromed shank.

For an all-stainless setup, Farmhousebrewing.com has the 525SS Perls for $35, SS shanks are around $15, SS tail pieces for $3, SS beer nut for $1. So call it $54 all up except for a tap handle, plus shipping (I doubt they collect out-of-state sales taxes)...

Cheers!

[edit] And the Ritebrew link is for the chromed 525PC, not the SS...

That's for the chrome version...

Adventures in Homebrewing has them for $29.99 right now without shanks, I've been tempted a couple times but still haven't pulled the trigger

Here's the stainless one from RiteBrew: http://www.ritebrew.com/product-p/843164.htm

It's about $10 cheaper with shipping right now from Adventures in Homebrewing, but if you're buying anything else with it, you'll tend to get a better overall price from RiteBrew. I just ordered four 525SS faucets, shanks, and various other things, and it ended up being $20 cheaper through RiteBrew, so consider your full order in it.

I recently bought 4 from Adventures in Homebrewing and am very happy. It was the best price I could find at the time (about 2 months ago).

If you are in Newport beach, you can drive down here to San Diego and go to Beverage Factory and will call them for free, Plus Beverage factory is right next to Ale smith, rough draft, white labs, and a stones through from a dozen other breweries. And they are open Saturdays from 10am till 2pm. The 525ss are $32 and the 575ss are $36.

This is pretty well covered above but make sure you're getting the stainless shanks if you're getting a shank/faucet combo. It's odd how common it is but almost all of the 525SS faucet/shank combos include a chrome shank. (Of course if you decide you can live with chrome shanks you might as well get the chrome faucets too and save yourself a small fortune if you're installing multiple taps).

I ordered my 4" stainless shanks from Ritebrew (bdkelly mentioned them above) because their shank prices are the lowest I've seen and there were a number of other kegging bits I wanted from them as well (their prices are generally quite good). Was very pleased with their customer service and shipping speed.

Got my 525SS faucets from beveragefactory -- a few bucks more than from Adventures in Homebrewing but I was already ordering regulators from them so it made sense. If you're considering beveragefactory give them a call, they're often willing to price match or at least reduce their prices a bit if you can point them to another lower price, though I can tell you from personal experience that they weren't willing to match $29.99 per faucet (which I assume is close to cost if not below) when I asked a month or two ago.

Plus 1 for Adventures in Homebrewing, best price I found and quick shipping. But I bought stainless shanks from Zach at Stainless Brewing.

Vendor . Farmhouse brewing is a good one too.

Great prices for shanks at Ritebrew, thanks for the heads up.
