Do any of you use tap covers? I have been getting fruit flies in my spouts and come out with the pour, I don't like that. Have not noticed that other years , think this is my 3rd summer with beer on tap and are bad this year.

I never have. I've got a tap cover for my ukeg, but have yet to use it (the ukeg).

No, haven't needed them.

What I am talking about are the plastic/rubber slip on covers over the spout, them fruit flies have been bad this year. Think maybe because have
kraut in a bucket about 4 ft. away from my keezer.

I have used those for a few years, work good. Keeps da bugs out as mine sits in the workshop, or as the wife calls it, her garage... LOL

Fruit flies have been bad here this year too, but I have no Kraut to blame it on. But they keep flying around my fermenters trying to find a way in.

I use them to keep bugs out, too. I can't say I've ever seen bugs, but it seemed like a prudent thing to do when I got a kegerator so I e used them ever since I got it.
