The Essentric Beekeeper Bulldog is a homemade bulldog for racking beer out of barrels using CO2 pressure. See this page for other barrel racking canes.

Overview

(To do)

The bore-through compression fitting allows the racking wand to pass completely through the fitting making the depth adjustable to prevent sediment transfer.

Adjustable emergency pressure release.

Triclover attachment to rubber bung adapter.

The triclover rubber bung adapter lets me use the same Bulldog racking wand for Sanke fermenter kegs with barrels.

An inside view shows the simple "works" within the triclover fitting, liquid inside the wand and gas outside the wand. The standard stainless steel compression rings/sleeves in the bore-through compression fitting have been replaced with silicone o-rings which seal with minimal tightening on the nut and never attach to the tubing permanently. These replacement o-rings allow the racking wand to slide up and down through the compression fitting while maintaining the seal.
