3ft Ball Lock Beer Line Assembly

I fermented two 6 gallon batches of wine (Riesling & Sauvignon blanc). When I brew beer, I keg since I don't want to fool with bottles. Same with wine. After the fermentation process was complete and the wine was kegged, I used my portable tap (rather than the kegerator tap) to transfer the wine to wine glasses. Either I had the dioxide pressure too high or the thinner consistency of the wine, whatever reason, the portable tap leaked about 1/2 gallon before I discovered. Clean up on isle 3! These Ferroday portable taps work great with the wine and I have not gotten any leakage. I can leave them attached and open the kegerator door to select which wine style I'm interested in sampling. As one reviewer noted, these tap connections (band clamps and threaded connectors) are NOT secure. You need to tighten these before you use.

Work as they should

None of the hose clamps were tightened. One of the ball valves was defective. I’m was sorry I bought this. It flooded my refrigerator with beer! I would like it if the seller would refund me for all the time I had to spend cleaning my refrigerator, for all the beer that I wasted, and for the money I spent on his defective product! The seller was very responsive. They apologized for my troubles, and told me that they made changes to ensure that this would not happen to someone else. They also refunded my money. Based on this , I will use them again as needed. They stand behind their product.

Bought these for my 2.5gal portable keg and they worked perfectly. Good value and made it easy to transition the keg from the kegerator to be portable to the deck for easy dispensing our BBQ favorite margaritas!

As an experienced homebrewer and summer party host, these hoses are the perfect answer for on-demand dispensing needs from a Corny-style ball-lock keg. I have numerous ball locks around, both threaded and clamp-on styles, and have a ton of extra tubing. But when it comes down to the ease of simply putting something on the keg, setting the keg in a bucket of ice, and dispensing, having the short 3 foot tube means less warm beer and less waste. The ball lock adapter works as expected and is robust. The tubing and clamps connect securely and the dispensing faucet operates smoothly without introducing too much head. Overall, this is an excellent purchase for the price, and when considering that it provides back-up dispensing when my kegerator draft lines need cleaned, it makes for a critical piece of my beer kit.

As others have said, these are too short and the inner diameter of the hose results in foaming beer draws - half your glass will be foam. The hardware at either end isnt the best, the picnic taps are leaky and make a mess in whatever placement you have them - upright, sideways, doesnt matter. The only decent thing here is the ball lock connector, but even that is an example of the cheaper, junkier side of connectors. They always say you get what you pay for, but why cant a person look for a more reasonably priced version of a piece of equipment without being made to feel badly for the effort? Ive had just as many bad experiences with expensive things, as I have cheap things. Ask me how I feel about Sprinter vans and Mercedes engine software management... Also, Im pissed because I had the foresight to order these ahead of time, but now that Ive had a chance to experience the junkiness that are these lines, my return window is closed. Im getting awfully tired of amazon's short-time policy on returns. I have more junk in my house that I cant use as a result. Mostly, Im annoyed that Ive turned into a guy who is getting this stressed by a waste of only $15. But I feel like most things in life are like this!

I bought a two-pack and both ball locks leaks. I have picnic or "party" taps from other suppliers and never had this issue. Totally unusable! The company reached out to me and offered to replace the picnic taps. I did not take them up on their offer as I already tossed them out, but I do respect the fact that they stand behind their products. Consequently I changed the overall rating.

These were good replacements and arrived ready to go, with gas connectors, tubing, stainless gear drive clamps, and the faucet. No leaks, perfect fit. Moved on from the beer game to the soda water game. Running at 33# with no leaks.
