So why arent the ventmatics being made anymore if they are so much better?

But we can only get Perlicks now? Is that the deal?

I'm looking at getting some faucets soon and everyone seems to only have Perlicks.


Manufacture and sale of Ventmatics have halted for now. The Shirron folks are having patent and licensing issues with the original ventmatic folks. Unknown if production will ever start up again.

Yes, I was offering to trade the gold plated Perlicks for the stainless ventmatics. That way Mylo can have a matched set of Perlicks and I can have a matched set of ventmatics. Don't actually expect the trade to happen but I thought I would put the offer out there.

I have the stainless Vent-matic that I bought last year and I just bought a stainless Perlick since Vent-matic is discontinued. Is there an issue with having them "mixed" like this? They look similar enough to be that I'm not concerned about how they show.

No, I'm a little anal about finishing the kegerator just right. Yes, I want them to match.

I said, "kegerator".

If I have any bad beer, I'll blame the faucet, "the other brand works better".

Looks like ventmatics are now completly gone at midwest

Look at the bottom. Several months ago all they had left were the gold ones - must have been the last of their stock.

Hopefully the legal battle will wrap up and one or the other will start making them again.
