How we ship

We ship full boxes; every length has its own box size. An order quantity is rounded up to the next full box. From 1,000 pieces per delivery, graduated prices apply for keg makers and refurbishers – they are in the partner area.

And if the spear is to be fitted

We replace spears as part of a keg overhaul, on site at your brewery, or we supply material, tools and instructions for fitting them yourself.

Box quantities

What will your order cost?

We ship full boxes only; we do not sell single spears. Choose the shape and length and enter the number of boxes – or the quantity you need in pieces, and the calculator rounds up to the next full box.

Down tube & cleaning

The length of the spear decides whether a keg is clean.

The keg in cross-section, built from the original CAD data of a DIN keg: cleaning in 13 steps and dispensing, with a down tube that is too long, correct and too short. You see where the cleaning medium goes and how much beer stays in the keg.
