Tapcooler Counter Pressure Bottle Filler for Forward Sealing Faucets

More Info

Highlighted Features

Fill bottles of beer, directly from your tap/faucet with this innovative counter pressure filler.
Improves upon standard counter pressure fillers, as it plugs DIRECTLY into your draft system faucet (tap). Most solutions require you to hook up a separate liquid line, which is not something standard draft systems have setup and requires additional prep (i.e. more time). With the Tapcooler, you can have it setup and ready to go in less than a minute!
Connecting your CO2 line is also a snap. You can either hook up directly with a 3/16 in. push-fit line, or connect your line to the included barb fitting.
With the Tapcooler design, your beer AND CO2 are filled from the bottom of the bottle through the telescoping bottle connection tube. First CO2 flows down into the bottom of the bottle to flush from the bottom up. Next you open the tap and beer flows down the same tube, filling from the bottom up. The result is a more effective purging of oxygen and little to no foam during the filling process.
The filler features a push button CO2 purge valve which allows you to purge the bottle of oxygen before & after filling. It also includes an adjustable pressure relief valve, giving you the ability to change the filling speed. The pressure relief valve also acts as an overflow port for excess beer/foam to escape when filling.

The Tapcooler allows you to easily counter pressure fill bottles via your compatible forward sealing faucet.

Hands on Review: Kegland Cannular Bench Top Can Seamer – Can Your Homebrew!

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert. Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer. Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Kegland Cannular Can Seamer

It’s been a long road for craft beer to be accepted in cans and not bottles. But it has been well established that cans are OK, too, and some take it even further to tout cans as a superior storage vessel for beer. I’ll avoid a full-blown comparison of the pros & cons of each, but I do feel it worth noting a couple of the selling points cans have. One is the claim that cans provide better storage with a more oxygen-proof seal than bottle caps, and 100% light blocking versus even brown colored glass. There is probably lots of debate on those two topics, but one benefit that is universally recognized is transportability. Cans are lighter and more compact, a whole lot less fragile, and you can take them to beaches and pools where glass containers are banned.

On the homebrew scale, until recently, the canners available have either been hand-crank monstrosities that look like an exhibit from a museum on the industrial revolution, or electrically driven units that look like steampunk movie props and cost a couple thousand dollars. Then in 2019, KegLand from Australia started exporting their Cannular can seamer that sells for $525 for the unit + power supply and is electrically powered. This changed the landscape significantly in the homebrew world, making canning much more within reach.

Rare, Limited Time Deal:

MoreBeer has Cannular on sale for $399.99. That’s a $150 savings.
For some pricing clarity, I’ve seen USED units sell for more than this.
This is a rare deal because the regular version of the Cannular is under a MAP agreement. That means that it, generally speaking, cannot be discounted. I don’t know if this is a one-off thing or if the reverse roller version will be an ongoing offering.
Get Free Shipping: Shipping is also free to most US addresses with a qualifying $59 order. This includes bulky cases of new cans.

Empty CanLid on Foam

The Cannular operates with a combination of manual lever pulling and electric motor spinning. You start the process out with an empty aluminum can with no top on it. You sanitize the can, fill it with beer, and then take a sanitized lid and set it down on top of the can (ideally on foam, to ensure minimization of air in your canned product). From there, it gets placed on a small pedestal and a lever turn raises the can up into the machinery of the can seaming operation and locks it at that height. The push of a button gets the motor spinning and the can on its platform starts spinning around. Grabbing a different lever, you push back and hold it for a couple seconds, then pull it toward you for a couple seconds, and you’re done. Turn off the motor, lower your can back down on the pedestal, and you’ve canned one beer.

25 ft Efficient Immersion Wort Chiller w/Brass Fittings – $69.99, Limited Availability, Matches 2020 Deal

Immersion Wort Chiller (Efficient) – 25 ft. x 3/8 in. (With Fittings) from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

As homebrewers we love the “Back to Basics” way of life. We care about conserving our resources. That is why using less water matters to us.

You can save water during the cooling process with our MoreBeer! water efficient chiller with direct connect fittings for garden hoses. This coil has an inner water mixer that causes the cooling water to turbulate as it travels through the coil. This reduces the laminar flow found in standard chillers where only the outer water is cooled as it moves through the coil. The result is a 40% reduction in water, and faster cooling, when compared with our standard chillers.

ALL of our chillers feature coils that are raised up to where the heat is. Since heat rises and other wort chillers on the market have all the coils on the bottom, they actually never cool unless you stir your wort. The problem with stirring is that you mix up all your trub/sediment and you also risk airborne contamination. Our chillers cool fast and allow you to keep the lid on your kettle during the critical cooling period.

Specifications

Approx. 10″ diameter
8″ to the top coil
15″ to the bend to go over the lip of the kettle.
25′ of 3/8″ copper tubing with brass connection fittings for garden hose.
This size chiller is ideal for our 8 Gallon Heavy Duty Kettles!

Limited Availability Deal of the Day: As of this posting, this is marked down to $69.99 as a MoreBeer Deal of the Day. Shipping is also free to addresses in the contiguous US with most $59 Orders.

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents. Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button. This zeros out the scale. Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container. In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

Possible homebrew uses include weighing hops, smaller amounts of grain and other brewing ingredients. 1,000 grams is about 35.27 ounces or 2.2 lbs.
