I know the manufacturer and will transfer this idea to them,it should be simple to weld a threaded tailpiece
to the ss handheld picnic tap,maybe you guys will see it in the market soon
? I see a pic with the old ones, but not with the new ones.you obviously already have!
now i'll have to spend another $50! (but it'll be a cinch to install them, being i already have the barbed ones kinda converted to a flare fitting )
You will have to spend more money As I know Torpedo mega mouth kegs will come in spring 2022,
there will be 5 gallon,6 gallon,7.75 gallon and 10 gallon. A hand can reach everywhere into the keg completely
and comfortably,this is very convenient to clean a keg
The grain stickers on the thumb levers are a nice touchdidn't realize i haven't posted them in this thread...here was what i came up with for a work around to a flare nut for them....

(and i'm not really not HBT addict, i've just had to get creative on how to use the stickers )
edit: that way when a keg kicks they come off easy for a quick cleaning! (and i just cleaned that drip tray yesterday!)

Oh man. My eyes are worse than I thought. Still a nice touch !??? i thought they were hop cones? lol
Do you feel that that stainless taps have any functional advantage?
Is there a reason people use the Picnic Tap instead of a Pluto Gun ?
These Pluto faucets work great. Available in both plastic and stainless.
The Aussies used them for years – in the commercial sector i.e. bars
Damnit Australia. I thought I recognized the shape when it first appeared on the thread.Yes,pluto gun was originally used in Australia for commercial use,in fact it is too big for home use
Or maybe they exist?
I've long wondered why the cheap plastic picnic taps are all that there is available in that type (not talking about getting regular taps or those ones that mount right to the ball lock). Yeah, they work and don't cause much trouble, but they also aren't ideal. For all of the weird gizmos and gadgets you can get for brewing and serving, many that seem useless or have a cheaper alternative.....why no high end picnic tap?

I hear you. I'm just trying to fine a mfl threaded one and they don't exist. They are all a barbed fitting. | |||
As i know,The manufacturer is making samples of mfl threaded stainless steel picnic tap,then the samples will be
sent to Morebeer for test. After Morebeer confirm the samples are ok,then the first batch will be manufactured......
I estimate the first batch will appear here in March ,2022.
The guy that makes items like FLOTit floating dip tube and SPUNDit spunding valve has a picnic tap (might be in beta testing now).

Until they make a s/s version this is what I use connected to a MFL fitting

Any links to check them out? I got a 10G Torpedo last Christmas to use for pressurized fermentations. I'm very happy with it. Even though I have fairly meaty arms I can still reach all parts of the keg with a wee bit of squishing. Still, that 7.75 G has my attention.You will have to spend more money As I know Torpedo mega mouth kegs will come in spring 2022,

Same with the flared stainless steel picnic tap,the manufacturer is making Torpedo mega keg samples,I estimate the samples can be tested and approved by Morebeer in this December,then the first batch will appear in March,2022:)
Stumbling into a nearly year long thread about picnic taps - thought I'd add this.
Here's what I put together for my daughter's wedding. We're homebrewers, we like to build things.

If the 7.75 is in the $150-ish range, count me in.Same with the flared stainless steel picnic tap,the manufacturer is making Torpedo mega keg samples,I estimate the samples can be tested and approved by Morebeer in this December,then the first batch will appear in March,2022:)
As I know,Torpedo mega mouth kegs will have the same diameter with Sanke 1/4 slim keg:10.95” diameter.
about the height include handle,5 gallon :17.80",6 gallon :20.40" ,7.75 gallon :25",10 gallon : 29"
you may consider to leave enough space:)
The manufacturer is my friend,so I know some details about their products.
Of course,I also transfer some suggestions or ideas here to them:)

Too big for home use? I have no idea what you mean by that. Works perfectly for me at home.Yes,pluto gun was originally used in Australia for commercial use,in fact it is too big for home use
Attached is the 1/4 threaded stainless steel picnic tap sample I saw just now,
It will be sent to Morebeer for test......I estimate the first batch will appear here in March,2022
