Carlsberg Vortex Tap
Our intrepid reporter has noticed the replacement of the much vaunted “Vortex” tap on Carlsberg dispensers throughout the UK. Introduced sometime ago as part of the “who can serve the fastest pint arms race” the Vortex tap was a high tech response by Carlsberg to the Fosters hit tap.
Apparently capable of serving a pint in under 14 seconds, the Vortex was a good piece of kit, but not without one or two problems. The replacement seems to be a standard Alumasc type tap,with Export and Carlsberg handles fitted.
Here is a tip for those who have had replacement taps fitted and are perhaps experiencing either too fast or too lively dispense problems.Next time your friendly Technician calls make him a cup of tea and get him to check the flow controls on the Carlsberg taps have been readjusted to suit the new taps.
