Conventional wisdom has no place at Perlick. That's because Perlick's drive for innovation is legendary, leaving convention for the other guys to play with. Now, wisdom in general... well, that's another story.
Perlick's new 650SS Stainless Steel Flow Control Faucet is a classic example. It has all of Perlick's exclusive forward sealing design features, as well as a flow compensator. By adjusting the flow control handle, you can adjust the restriction for hard to pour brands, allowing you more control over your flow. You can also adjust the flow control handle to slow the flow for pouring sampler glasses, flights or growlers, as well as to reduce the amount of foam when pouring into a frosted glass.
The Perlick forward sealing design features a revolutionary ball and o-ring that prevents beer from being exposed to air. As a result, the handle lever doesn't stick, and there is no build up of mold and bacteria in the faucet body. It also has fewer internal parts for better reliability.
- Stainless Steel construction - won't pit or tarnish, will not taint the flavor of the beer, and is also suitable for wine
- Patented forward sealing design eliminates the need for a valve shaft exposed to beer and air
- Spout angle is more vertical allowing a more thorough draining after each pour - no horizontal area for beer to collect
- Polished interior - smooth flow, less agitation and less foaming
- Easy to clean - may be cleaned in place

Great faucet that is worth the splurge JoeAs 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.

Excellent faucet MikeI 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
