Hi Martyn, one year on is the itap still working as intended ? I’ve tried varying methods to bottle from a keg with limited success. More beer on the floor than bottles. This could be my answer to less waste. As always great intuitive videos. Well done.

[@MadeByMartyn]

My most used piece of kit before getting the iTap was the mop - I hated bottling - if it wasn't flat or oxidised it was on the floor. The iTap is simplicity and reliable. I'm tempted now I've got both PET and Crown Cap adapters to try the swingtop too. The mop has had far less use, result!

Hello Martyn! Where I can purchase this product?

[@MadeByMartyn]

I bought mine from eBay but if you're in the UK, places like the Malt Miller have them, but they're more expensive (delivered quicker though).

[@boelitap4186]

@@MadeByMartyn Tell me, please, is it a Chinese manufacturer? I see that the manual is in Chinese

[@MadeByMartyn]

@@boelitap4186 I have no idea - it came from Eastern Europe I think.

[@Pauldh601]

Have you got the link for where you bought it from? UK suppliers seem to be twice the price you paid. Did you get stung for import tax? To save other people looking it up 0.2MPa is 29psi

[@MadeByMartyn]

I bought it here: www.ebay.com/itm/203177162138 This avoided the import tax, but I think I may have been lucky, it's from Ukraine. Took 18 days I think. I too looked at the pressure conversion and thought 29psi a little scary for recycled bottles with uncertain provenance!

[@Pauldh601]

@@MadeByMartyn do I or don't I order one......... 29 psi is a lot

[@MadeByMartyn]

@@Pauldh601 I run mine at serving pressure and it's fine. No way would I fill glass bottles at 29psi! I'm already rating it much higher than any other I've tried. It's perfect for my use.

I would love something like this but they are made in Russia

[@MadeByMartyn]

Yeah, pretty much unavailable and given the current situation I doubt I'd buy one now.
