Title: Does anyone have a (sanke) beerpump?
Post by: pliny on May 27, 2011, 10:47:24 AM
Does anyone have a regular keg pump? The same ones that Picaroons has?
I know Picaroon's has some but they said they were out of them. I'll check with Blue Ridge.

Please let me know and we could work something out.

Thanks

What's the goal?
I have some sankey parts, but not a pump.  Unless you're toasting a whole keg in a very short timeframe, my understanding is that pumps are a bad plan.

Thanks for the response.
Oh I completely agree about the performance and quality.
It's just that some friends ordered a Picaroons keg and now Pics just told them they're out of pumps.

How soon do they need it? You'll pay a premium locally, but online there are some good deals from Micromatic and others, like this:

Needs a gas system, but I assume as a homebrewer you have one lying around. If not, then they should have a pump option as well. As John mentioned, if the keg is not going to be drained in a few hours, a pump is not a desirable option as it will oxidize the beer.

why not borrow a coupler and use that? you could rig it up with a picnic tap on the 'out' end, and some form of pump or gas on the in....same concept of the pump. So either use a bicyle hand pump, or CO2 which is best.....

there's a couple of actual pumps for sale in the halifax area on kijiji....if you know anyone down that way..bus would be quickest for shipping if you needed it for the weekend.
