Questions about this product

What does an ale extractor actually do?

It replaces the volume of beer leaving the cask with filtered air or an inert gas blanket, so the cask does not draw in cellar air. That is what stops the beer oxidising and souring in the days after it is broached.

How long does a cask last with an extractor fitted?

Considerably longer than the two or three days a broached cask usually gives on gravity, because the beer is not sitting in contact with cellar air. It does not make the beer keep forever u2014 it removes the fastest cause of it going off.
