Product Spotlight: 90-Degree Sankey Elbow

By Matt Ross

There is a huge variety of brewing toys available here at Siciliano’s. Whenever something new hits our shelves we like to put it in the spotlight, particularly if it doesn’t stand out on its own.

This new piece is physically small but has huge utility. This stainless steel 90-degree Sankey elbow is able to thread onto the beer out end of your Sankey coupler and provide numerous serving options.

This allows you to do a few things. For starters, if you have a low profile kegerator this can save you some much needed space on running beer lines. The other function of this elbow (my favorite function) is to make any Sankey coupler a mobile taproom. When paired with a MTP tailpiece and a faucet adaptor you can pour beer directly out of your keg from a faucet. This is great for serving commercial beer from a faucet without dismantling your entire kegerator.

Going to deer camp? Having a family reunion? Fall camping trip? Football party? This little guy helps spread the good beer anywhere. Stop in and ask about the 90-degree Sankey elbows.

Plastic 5-Gallon PubKegs: All the Rage in Hombrewing

By Greg 'Swig' Johnson

We are ecstatic to announce a new option for kegging homebrew! Introducing the plastic PubKeg. These plastic kegs take are light, easy to use, receive the standard American Sanke keg couplers and, most importantly, the kegs are BRAND NEW!

Using American Sanke couplers, these kegs are a great alternative for people who already have a home draft system for serving commercially available beers but want the option of also serving homebrew.

We will be selling the kegs individually for $59.99. A complete keg kit is available for $260. That kit will include:

• Plastic PubKeg
• American Sanke Coupler 
• Liquid & Gas Lines
• Picnic Faucet
• 5 lb. CO2 Tank (New, Empty)
• CO2 Regulator
• All Miscellaneous Fittings Needed 

Just like all of our keg kits, we include all the basic necessities except the refrigeration and beer to put in the kegs. Upgrade options are available, including various shank sizes, stand faucets, and the store-preferred Perlick Stainless Steel faucets. Furthermore, we have a full selection of draft equipment to help custom build your home draft system, plus even more that we can special order.

A use and maintenance guide for these new kegs is now available on our website, with details on setting up the kit.

Also, to update the announcement for our Annual Customer Appreciation Sale Week, we will be offering these kegging kits for $199 during the week of September 9th.
