Hi,

Just a quick question that maybe one of you knowledgeable people here can
answer.

I'm after a large glass container (around 5 litres?) like a demi-john, but
with a tap in the side, at the bottom.

It is to be used in a shop display, whereby a liquid can be poured into the
top to fill it up. The liquid can then be dispensed in small quantities
through the tap at the bottom.

I've searched all over the internet but can not find anything suitable
anywhere! There seem to be lots of normal demi-johns, but none with a tap in
the side.

Is there a special name for such a type of container?

Please help!

Thanks,
Shaun.

There are MiniKegs avaliable all over that are 5 liters and are
dispensed through a built in tap. The are not clear though so you
would not be able to see the liquid inside. The price of these kegs
are around 10 bucks.[color=blue]

gee, demijohn i think 50 litres, do you mean 5 or 50?Anyhow i've never
heard of a demijohn witha tap. Never heard of a carboy with a tap
either. Um what about a chemistry supply store? There are some
interesting glass vessels that might do the job for you. HOw about a 2L
separater funnel
[url]http://www.indigo.com/glass/gphglass/separatory-funnel.html[/url] ? Of course
you are looking at $60 US, but it's glass and it has a petcock/stopcock
to controll flow.

thought about using plexiglass? Some bars here sell cheap draft by the
"beer tower".. which is a plexiglass tube (5" diameter or so?) about 3
feet tall with a tap on the side. All the parts would be easy enough to
find. Oh found one online, it's only 3L but it'd give you and idea

We'll probably use this one I think.

Cheers Stephen.

I just saw a 15gal demi with SS tap on the bottom.
Someone is making them now, and they are getting common.

Hi Pete,

Where did you see that? In the UK?

I couldn't find them anywhere!
