This was one of my upgrades and absolutely love it!!! A perfect pour everytime! No more wasting good quality beer!

Works as described. Everyone needs the flow control instead of normal faucet.

Should have bought years ago

This faucet is fantastic! We installed it on our stout tap and love it. The ability to add the extra bit of head at the end is great. You will not regret getting this quality faucet.

We run taps with kegged cocktails and soda water for special events. The soda water is usually at 45 psi to make it as bubbly as possible and it can be difficult to control the explosive nature of high pressure water. This faucet has done a great job of taming the flow while keeping the fizz in the water.

I love this faucet because it gives you total control and zero unwanted foam. I turn the flow control down open the faucet then increase the flow. I haven't lost a drop of beer due to over pour. Also, at the end of the pour I push the handle back into creamer mode to add the desired amount of head. It is also great for filling growlers. I also purchased the perlick growler attachment hose which fits like a glove. It does drip one or two drops after the fill, but a small price to pay for a perfect beer.

Easy to install and use. No problem with sticking anymore and beer just tastes better by far. It's wonderful being able to control the head, as well.

Pretty solid taps! Ordered two and they work like a charm. When I got into kegging beers I didn't Research enough on how things work. Long story short, I have a two tap kegerator and one Gas line so I had to continuously swap the gas line between kegs along with adjust the psi depending on beer styles. Now, I have my tank set to 15psi and can control flow for non foamy pours out the taps. I do need to acquire a T-barb to add a split for two gas lines which will be an awesome upgrade. My only con is no instructions on use was included but YouTube vids corrected any concerns I've had. Also it is best to open the tap with the control closed and slowly open to avoid foamy pours and chill the tap. Great product, easy must! Buy now, cry now as the price is steep but worth every penny for the long run.

Need to make sure you get the right "Perlick" lock for the flow control Perlick taps!

The side lever controls flow and the handle is used to fill by pulling forward and the creamer works be pushing back on the handle. Awesome, once I learned how to use it. Pull forward until glass is 3/4 full, then push back and release when the head is like you want.

I up graded to the Perlick 690ss for my new Keg fridge. They are good quality and easy to use. You can control the foam for a perfect poor every time.

My first pour was always heady and to complicate matters I have two tap heads with two different beers. This is exactly what I needed to regulate flow and get a perfect pour every time. Very well made does not stick and operated flawlessly. I think the beer even tastes better!

Bought one to start. Very solid build. Easy installation and love the flow restrictor for those tough to pour brews.

Worked so well I ordered one for my second tap within a week. Can't wait to use the restrictor next time I fill a growler @ home.

It actually works as advertised which is rare these days. The flow control handle will let you slow the flow all the way down to nothing or wide open. I got this faucet to help with some foaming issues that i was having but ended up increasing my beer line length instead which worked well. I would assume it would be great for beers that are dispensed at higher pressures. It has more internal parts because of the flow control mechanism so it could be more subject to bacteria, etc. and may be tougher to keep clean

This 650ss is a work of art
I use them directly on top of the keg and now can keep the beer as co2 charged as I like and it will pour slowly with the pressure valve on low with NO FOAM or as desired. I am ecstatic now not having flat-ish or foamy beer having had problems for a long time. With a short Knob it fits inside my converted freezer. I am so happy I purchased 4 of them and for the other two kegs I have, it is easy to slide the tap on a a different ball lock keg.
Years from now the price will be forgotten but the quality will endure.

Ideally, you want your regulator to keep the exact pressure needed to dispense your beer perfectly at all times. In my experience using CO2, that is very difficult. The first pour is always foamy, then pressure dips after a few pours, you turn up the pressure to compensate, foam again, the cycle continues... Enter the flow control faucet. It gives you an additional valve to regulate pressure at the faucet. On the first pour, turn the valve mostly shut, and open it slowly for a perfect pour. When the pressure dips and you turn it up, use the valve to control unexpected pressure spikes. Once you use these, you will wonder how you lived without them.

WITH THIS NO MORE STICKY/FROZEN HANDLES WHEN YOU'RE THIRSTY AND YOU CAN ADJUST TO WHAT EVER KIND OF BEER

Nice faucet, didn't stick after not being used. Easy to control flow.

As a homebrewer and avid craft beer fan, it can be difficult keeping different styles on tap and properly dispensing with respect to the co2. This faucet solves all the usual issues associated with having multiple beers and styles on tap. In addition, the faucet allows you to fill a range of glasses from tasting size to growlers without spilling or creating beer waste and it is constructed to last.

Why I like it the most is because it allows me to use a single regulator to manage two taps. I can push 5-8lbs to two different beers and if the one taps a little fast while other taps a little slow, I can regulate the dispensing flow at the tap rather than at the regulator. For example, I currently have an IPA and a brown ale on tap. The wheat in the IPA's grain bill creates a nice head, but it also makes dispensing the beer tricky because it can form a large foam head at 5-8lbs of pressure. On the other side, the brown ale pours like a champ at 5-8lbs. The dilemma here is that on a single regulator I'd have to turn down the pressure at the bottle, which can be a pain if your bottle is housed inside your kegerator or keezer. However, these taps allow me to push the same pressure and instead regulate the dispensing rate at the tap.

In other words, what you save with these taps is the fun game of constantly opening your kegerator to adjust the pressure or reaching behind or alongside it to regulate air pressure. The person who would benefit most from these is someone who doesn't have the $ to invest in a regulator for each beer they are dispensing or someone who wants to be able to get consistent pours no matter the vessel being filled.

I have three of these on my kegerator, paired with Kegco SS shanks going thru the refrigerator door.
Forward sealing design is very user friendly
Clean look and very nice polish job from the factory
Flow control- I look back and wonder how I got by without it before- no extra line needed to control pour speed, nice for the first pour when the faucet is "warm," great for filling small glasses and finishing filling growlers. If you're thinking about getting this for one of the taps on your multi-tap setup, just bite the bullet and do it for all of them, you'll be happy every time there's an expected-or unexpected need to slow it down.
Threads are nice and have the standard back-off nut so you can always get your tap handle to face the right way.
Lastly, don't forget to be ready to actually turn the faucet off when you're holding a near-full growler in one hand and fading the flow with your other...gets me every so often :D

Great faucet for the keezer that I built. 99% drip free. And great adjustment for the beer flow since i use one manifold to feed six kegs.

I love these beer faucets. We pour a lot of beer samplers in 4 oz glasses. These faucets allow us to pour them with minimal waste. Perfect for tap bars.

Great faucet. Growler fills 2l. in less than 2 minutes. No more foam problems. Glad I purchased this product.

This faucet is great. I put this on a inexpensive Kegerator and now it pours like the best. Every beer is coming out with the perfect amount of head. You just adjust the flow to put the perfect head on your pour. I even turned the CO2 up a bit to keep the carbonation and can still get the pour just right. Even the first pour of the day is working nicely. It seems like this should be standard equipment. Money well spent.

We are a sparkling winery and use the product as a way to slow our pours down and reduce foaming (pouring from KeyKegs). So far this has worked just as well as products costing nearly twice as much. Delivery and all communication from Beverage Factory were great.
