Any one experience an issue where you are pouring the pint of Guinness, and then just as coming up to the harp (3/4 full) to stop the flow and leave to sit, the faucet blasts out some Guinness foam and the pint is ruined.

It happened last night on first 2 pints but after that the next 4/5 poured the finest. But may happen again when go to pull some again during the week.

It's like that rattle it makes when keg is going empty or youv'e swapped to a new keg. A pure blast of white foamy Guinness. And pint is then a pint a half pint full of head.

Tried all the usual, checked lines, cleaned lines, retapped keg etc. Temp is ok. Only thing that has changed it the keg since 2 weeks ago when 2 kegs puled through no problem and were smashing.

Sounds as if the keg is taking in air at the t/h seal, or the spear going down into the keg is damaged. If this was being poured through a fob the float in the fob would drop and cut out the flow.

If anyone is, it's not theirs to sell.

Not true, there are taps on market that are bought independent of breweries with a creamer nozzle to suit stout.

Op specifies Guinness or Coors Lite.

Anyone here had a bar built out their back. Thinking of getting one done soon. Got the Guinness and coors light tap and cooler and lines etc few days ago.

She is looking for 850 for it without taps and gas when I tried to buy and I had offered 700 but she wouldn't budge. Week later I found twin cooler with 3 couplers and a tap for 450 with gas. Now with pubs open they will be cheaper. Won a guinness tap with clamp at ebay auction for €65 last week so have everything I need and works perfectly.

850 without taps and gas is far too high.
I’m hoping to get everything sorted for about €500-€600. Am I dreaming?

Ya she had the harp Guinness one but that wasn't for sale.i got on ebay a guinness one that was hardly used and looks in great condition in pics.u will also see alot of Guinness extra cold taps on ebay for cheap also and can change the fish eye and handles no problem for little cost.

You done well at that price, had a look there and see taps without housing or the extra cold without tap.
Few weekends ago, woman from granard had cooler,2 taps,gas,couplers, regulator and cleaning equipment on donedeal for €400, but was sold when I rang following day.

Ya they do come up now and again that's how I got it. Just need to build a bar now. Been quoted over 1500 to build it but would like to try myself but afraid I'd mess it up. Plenty YouTube videos so undecided on what to do

There's another good page Irish home bars, this fella reckons he's not expensive for excellent work.

Look down through posts for Rob Sinead.

Nice delivery of this. Lights up and includes drip tray. Bargain from ebay.co.uk

€600 Dublin if anyone is interested? Double cooler, regulater, tapping head, Guinness tap. Not a lot left in the gas but you’ll save money on refill instead of deposit on new bottle.

Someone selling that on homebrew Ireland FB, thought it was expensive myself.

Much better value.

As mentioned on a previous post I don’t have Facebook so unfortunately I’m not able to get on to see any posts like the above one for the used set up.
I’d be interested in the one above thought if it was closer to 500 and not €600.
The other dispenser one looks great but not for Guinness I assume.
