Beer gun parts

Post by Beer-lord »

Seems I'm a big idiot today....I lost the very small black tip that goes on the end of my beer gun. I bottled some beers anyway and hope its alright but I sure hope Blichmann sells tiny parts. Likely I'll have to pay more for shipping than for that small part. :(

Wow, I sent an email to Morebeer not expecting much and got a reply in less than 5 minutes on a Sunday! These guys are crazy good.
FYI, it's not a part on their website and has to be ordered via phone so I'm getting a few of these puppies.

I am forever setting down the little parts from inside the bottling wand tip and misplacing them when it is time to reassemble. It is quite annoying but so far I haven't actually lost any ( good thing I have 2) I bet that is something you can't order. :)

i didn't think they came apart. i've been worried about trying too hard as it feels like its glued. tell me i haven't misunderstood, and your referring to a regular bottling wand and not some part of a beer gun. if so i shall redouble my efforts. as i haven't been happy with not being able to clean it inside.

your right BigPoppaG my MrB do wands come apart, i didn't know they would either. thanks. i have recently switched to a larger wand made for bottling wine. (i don't think it has a spring) i just put so much torque on it i thought it was going to break but the end don't move. don't just pull off either so i guess i'll just have to soak that one in oxyclean when i use it.
