I am currently testing out a new version of the APF Bridge Component - If you notice any errors within this demo store please drop me a line.

The BeerTender recommends using a new tube for each mini-keg, and at about a dollar each that's not a big deal. However, if you have run out of tubes, or just want to be thrify, they can easily be reused at least a couple times. Here's how:
o Put the empty mini-keg in a sink.
o With the tube's spout pointing toward the drain, push the two white barrel fittings together. This manually operates the tap to relieve pressure in the mini-keg.
o Wait a few seconds for all the foam to drain out.
o Use a screwdriver or butter knife to remove the top part of the tap. There are three tabs on this gray cover piece; pry back one or two to lift it off.
o Remove the part still attached to the mini-keg by pushing back the tabs holding it to the top of the keg. Use a screwdriver or butter knife on the inside part of the tap - accessible with the cover removed - to release these tabs.
o Thoroughly rinse the tap, tube, and spout. With the barrel connectors still pushed together, run a stream of water into the spout and it should drain through the tube and out the small holes in the tap.
o Snap the cover piece back onto the tap with the larger hose cut-out aligned with the tube.
o Pull the barrel connectors apart to manually close the tap to make it ready it for the next mini-keg. Be sure the whole thing is very clean, especially if not using immediately.
I've used one tap three or four times, and it still works fine (no leaks, similar pour). I suspect they recommend using a new one every time because it can be messy removing it from the mini-key and the potential for it to get moldy if not cleaned.
Don't forget the part about relieving the residual pressure, or you will probably have a beer geyser when the gray cover is removed.

Not much to say here. They do what they are supposed to. They are hard to find locally.

THE PRODUCT WAS A VERY GOOD DEAL IF YOU BOUGHT 3 PACAKAGES, WHICH I DID. THE SHIPPING WAS FREE & THERE ALSO WAS A SLIGHT DISCOUNT. THE PRODUCT WAS ALSO SHIPPED BEFORE THE DATE PROMISED.

Don't hesitate to order this product here...it arrived on time and in good condition. works perfectly with the Krupps Beertender. Have not had a
defective one so far. installs and fits perfectly in the dispenser. The price is right and it saves having to have additional gear to clean the
machine. only thing left to clean now is the tip and thats it.

We love the Heineken BeerTender (having cold draft beer in the house is great!), and though you must have the BeerTender Tubes in order for it to work, there is frequently a problem with them. Sometimes the spout end of the tube doesn't allow the spigot top to shut properly, so we have to wiggle it around and play with it for a lot longer than seems right to get it to shut. When they slide right in, it's a wonderful thing, but about 75% of the time, this problem arises.
Other than that, Amazon got them delivered in short order, so Amazon gets five stars!
