10 x Single Flexible Ale Extractor
A Flexible Ale Extractor is an easy way of extracting your ale from the cask. The Flexible Ale Extractor has a silicon tube and a flotation device. With the inlet inserted into the barrel, the float sits at the desired angle just below the surface of the beer. As a result of the Flexible Extractor float system, the beer is always drawn from the surface. This helps to give you a clear pint every time.
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 through the extractor or siphon through. Consequently, this removes a considerable amount of waiting time for the beer to be primed.
Our Extractors are simple to use, require low maintenance, eliminate the need for racking systems and as a result reduce handling time. All our Extractors are available as both singles and doubles, in all threads and for all barrel sizes.
Each Flexible Ale Extractor kit includes:
- Ale Extractor Body with blanking plug
- Single Outlet Complete
- Silicon Tube (NB tube length is critical to performance. Check you are ordering the correct size for your barrel).
- Mason's Float
- Single Hop Filter
- 1 x 1/2" Tail
- 1 x Nut
It is important to select the correct thread and tube length when ordering your equipment.
Washers and Hop Filters need to be in place for the Flexible Ale Extractor to work efficiently.
