Yup, and compared to a SS keg it's incredibly light. Perfect for taking camping or to a friends place.

3 daisy chained together work great for a 23 litre batch. You can just take a keg at a time when needed. The leg from an old snowmobile suit keeps it cold for several hours. Small fire extinguisher wall mount holds the soda stream tank quite well.

I appreciate that last tip of drinking right out of it!! 😅 I just tested my set up. I have 2 batches of the same beer going. 2 weeks apart. So when the first batch finished I bottled into these, chilled them down for a day, then carbonated with the off gas from the second batch. worked like a charm. I also used the off gas to push some beer for tasting. 😂

Good idea for a video. Personally I would rinse it well every time it's empty and then soak it with warm water and pbw for an hour. Hook up co2 and run the pbw solution through the beer line and let it soak as well. Then rinse well and push some clean water through the beverage line. Cheers

Any advice on getting the PRV´s to not leak? All 3 of mine loose pressure through the PRV (doesnt leak when changed to a carbonation lid)

Hello, I haven't had any customer complaints about this issue so I'm not sure. If you replace the PRV with a different one does it still leak?

Using this system do you carbonate using priming sugar in the 8 Litre keg & then use the Sodastream to dispense or just use the Sodastream bottle to carbonate & dispense? TIA

@graintoglass

Жыл бұрын

Hello, either method will work. Most people will choose to carbonate with the soda stream co2 tank in order to minimize sediment. Cheers!

So this is for pressurization and not carbonation? Also, what is the overall height of the bottle and hardware on top? Thanks, really enjoy your videos.

hi can you fermentate in the bottle with sugar to make it bottle conditioned and if you can is it best to use the taping head or the normal top and then put the taping head on after conditoning (sorry i am new to all this sorry if i have butchered the names lol)

@graintoglass

Hi, you definitely could. I would probably just use the black cap it comes with since I think the tapping head might release some of the co2 if the pressure gets to high. Cheers

@graintoglass

I don't see why you couldn't. I usually ferment at around 15-20psi. You might want to use a floating dip tube instead of the tubing and filter they include though it might be tricky finding one that fits in the opening. Cheers

In the video you say the 16oz cartridges aren’t big enough to carb 8litres, but if I used one after another (2 in total), I’d tgat possible for carbing?

My kit just arrived, and I am currently testing it out. However, I have a question: Is it safe to place the SodaStream tank in my fridge? Additionally, I've observed a small leak in the pressure release valve. Consequently, if I lay the tank on its side, some of the cider seems to leak out. Is it normal?

@graintoglass

7 ай бұрын

Hi, you can place the sodastream tank in your fridge but it is recommended to keep it upright. The prv should not leak at all. I would recommend unhooking the co2 tank, purging the pressure in the keg and then unscrewing the prv. Then screw it back in. If it still leaks contact us via phone or contact page on our website. Cheers

How much is the pressure transferred from co2 tank to keg?

@graintoglass

18 күн бұрын

Assuming your kegged beer is in a fridge you would want 10psi for most beer styles. That would require around 8 feet of beer line. If you want a shorter beer line you would want to step down the psi once the beer is carbonated depending on the length. There are charts for this online depending on temperature of the beer and length/diameter of tubing. Cheers

How much luck have people had serving it laying down in the regular fridge? It tends to roll all over the fridge unless you make little feet / doorstops for them. I also felt I needed to remove the pressure release valve and replace it with just a soda bottle cap as that can leak when the top is filled since it is on its side.

There's just under a pound of co2 in the bottle so I think you should be able to carbonate and dispense around 4-5 of these 8 liter kegs.

It’s nice but I’ve lost confidence in kegland. I purchased their 1bbl kegmentor and had to return it twice because of horrible porosity in the welds and it’s make in China. I’ve seen som bad reviews on that mini regulator. What’s your experience with their mini regulator. I’m curious to learn more about its quality and if it’s also made in China. I would think kegland products would be made in Australia not China.

Pretty sure everything Kegland makes is manufactured in China. We've sold many of the mini regulators and have had no issues. The quality is in line with the cost IMO.
