Single Flexible Ale Extractor Float System
The Single Flexible Ale Extractor Float System draws cask ale from just below the beer surface for upright dispense. Its flexible tube and submerged float help draw clear beer from the cask.
Our Flexible Ale Extractor comes as standard with 1 body (sometimes known as collar and broach). However, having a spare allows you to tap the next barrel well in advance. When the previous barrel has been emptied, open up the next body (which has been pre-tapped into the next cask) and lower the extractor or siphon through. Consequently, this removes a considerable amount of waiting time for the beer to be primed.
Choose the right extractor for your cask
- Thread: choose 3/4 BSP, L Thread or Y Thread to match your connection.
- Barrel size: choose Pin, Firkin or Kilderkin. The correct tube length is critical to performance.
- Extra Body: choose No for the standard kit with one body, or Yes to add a spare body for preparing your next cask.
These extractors allow upright dispense, require low maintenance and eliminate the need for racking systems. For multiple beer pumps from the same cask, see the Double Flexible Ale Extractor.
