Electric Spirit Dispenser

Postby Crusty » Mon Apr 19, 2010 12:23 pm

Hi Guys,
I am in the process of obtaining 10 second hand 30ml electric spirit dispensers. I am starting with two units & working my way up to the 10 unit fixture. These units are simple plug & play, complete with wiring, just add each unit as required. Simply place your glass under the pourer & with 1 finger, press the dispense button for a 30ml shot of your favourite spirit or liqueur. I am also getting a couple of 15ml valves that are simply unscrewed & replaced ( 15ml shot ) Here is an example of a 7 unit fixture.

Cheers,

Brian

Now that has to go on the wish list. It\'s the year that I reach the age when the state gives me my income, Do you think Mr Brown would buy it for me before he leaves.

I was hoping our Mr Rudd would get it for me. Fat chance.

Here's the damage.

Each 30ml or 15ml dispenser costs $310.00 AUD ( new ) or $220.00 ( second hand )

Powerpack is $395.00 ( new ) or $280.00 ( second hand ) Powerpack can run up to 40 of these dispensers.

The guys will be throwing in a backing plate for me that holds 10 bottles & enough wiring & plugs for 10 units. Simply plug the tip on the end of each wire to the back of the dispensers. The beauty of this system is you can start with 1 unit & add a unit whenever you can. The 10 bottle unit will be a work in progress & I will probably have it completed at the end of this year.

My mates are gunna go nuts.

That\'s for sure Andy.

I don\'t think Anna Bligh is giving too much away either is she?

A few years back I wanted to set one of these up at home & after getting rid of my kegging setup for the homebrew, I decided to take the plunge. My still, T500 will be here Wed week & hopefully I can find some extra money to get a start on this pretty soon.

I got mine for $650.00 delivered.

Who do you normally get all your gear from?

I deal quite a bit with Creftbrewer in Underwood. Top guys & really competetive prices.

The electric spirit dispenser is my dream but not 100% sure funds are going to allow me to get it or not. If not, I was looking at a simple spirit dispenser similar to this one. These come with standard optic dispensers but you can upgrade them for $10.00 each & get premier ones instead.

Why would you want to measure it out? Save the money for the optics and just make more spirit!

Hum? not only a bit of an expensive luxury, but doesn\'t it depend on the size of the measure i.e. I\'m pretty damn sure that a legal \"English\" measure is 25ml\'s and Scotland is 30mls......
Personally I\'d go with lyonacres idea and just make a little more.....

mmmm, you realise how much it costs to repair electronic units?
have a look at the raven dispensors, MUCH cheaper, very clean and simple solid operation.

you can get those plastic cheap units which break, i figured a cheap leaking unit is an expensive mess
Raven 301 Liquer dispensor 30ml

but yeah i bought a heap of these on a black board, very stylish and professional. altho looks kinda purple in the graphic, its mat black. the other thing which is good about these things are they have a large opening and the unit moves around the bulb, so you can use them with liqueurs as the sugars dont build up on the openings and you are less likely to break them. the other awesome thing about these, you dont need a support for the bottle, altho doesnt take anything bigger than the 1.125 bottles
donno if you can get them in the uk, great design tho
