I and my wife are searching a used Bottoms Up beer dispenser, because we would like to use it in our home for partys. I saw the video on youtube and i think it is a great invention! We are searching also a used one if possible, because it would be cheaper for us i think. Someone knows where i could find one with a cheaper price to ship abroad? Thank you in advance.
I think they solved a problem nobody had. You'd be better served and have a lot more options if you just went with a standard set up.
Looking again at this, they have solved a problem for stadiums. I'd bet this can go faster than a turbo tap set up with less waste. Definitely no need for this at home.
thanks for bringing this to my attention. being the curious type, I checked it out. thank God someone has finally addressed the issue of pouring beer from the top down. I used to say to myself "there must be a better way. but what is a better way?" now this is something mankind has needed to replace gravity. also, they better be giving away the razor because you'll be buying a hell of a lot of blades.
Bottoms-up units are highly efficient and work very, very well... ...in the highly subsidized world of Stadium Concessions. . On the positive side, they will pour a (virtually) perfect beer faster than the concessioner can collect payment. Virtually zero waste and a foam-free pour is the Holy Grail of the draught world, right? [All of the above comes at a price for the beer connoisseur, however. First, the cups are expensive and proprietary...after all, each individual cup has a magnetic disk which seals the bottom.] Second, the first several pours are anything but perfect (until everything in the system, including solenoids, is brought down to perfect pouring temp). Third, a beer with no foam is far from perfect...virtually all draught beer is over-carbed and it's normally the job of the pourer to release excess CO² in the form of foam. Last, but certainly not least...these units are hard to calibrate to the correct pour volume, difficult to source replacement parts, and let's face it...electrical components and moisture simply do not play well together. [Other than the above...I love 'em!]
