    I get my small bottles filled for $10 with exchange and the larger cylinders can be purchased but they have a lifespan. A date is stamped , so they only last so many years and you have to buy a new one. Not only that, you can't get all the gas out because the pressure drops and you are left with about 25% or so unusable. I did the math and the small bottles might be slightly more expensive but they don't expire. If you factor in the cost of the larger cylinders they end up being more expensive overall. In the small cylinders you can get most of the gas out and I weighed mine full and empty and I am getting most of the gas out. So I scrapped the idea and just have 3 small bottles and refill them all at once every few months. I don't have to buy the adapter hose and find a place to hide a large cylinder in my kitchen and drill holes to route the tubing to my soda stream.

    Hi Jeff. That's not accurate. Where we are located the larger cylinders are a massive savings. The cylinders have to be purchased and are already full on the first go, but there after, if you for some reason or another want keep the cylinder and have it refilled after you empty it you can do so for 10 years from the test stamp date on an AS2030 cylinder with an RPV installed in the valve. ALL the filled gas can be expelled from the cylinder. If your draft system or carbonation unit is working properly, the entire weight of the gas will be dispensed. So with our cylinder, the sizes are 0.9 2.6 and 6 kilo. These are the weights of the gas itself that the cylinder can hold inside. Beyond this, most customer will simply just swap their empty cylinder for a full one at any of these locations: www.kegking.com.au/retailers/ This way they only pay the fill price, currently $29 AUD for 2.6kilo, and as long as they have a cylinder to drop off, they'll be able swap for a full cylinder far beyond the 10 years of life of the original cylinder.

    I would love this but outside of home brew applications, are macro brews going to make 10L kegs? Historically, the USA does not deviate from standard kegs, bottles or cans. On occassion you can find 5L but its Heineken pre-pressured.

  • @Keg-King
    @Keg-King13 күн бұрын

    We have more beverage makers already packaging in these in Australia and it isn't just beer, it's juice, wine, cocktails and more. Prosecco and Rose come to mind as pretty popular in their 10L varieties. Our market down under tends to embrace packaging options faster than the US industries. We moved to screw caps and bagged boxes for wines decades ago now and never looked back so where Americans still tend to see these options as an indication of low quality, Australians have no qualm about packing their $140 dollar bottles of wine in a screw top bottle. When it comes down to it, it's all about keeping the O2 out and providing the beverage producer with affordable options to reach a wider market. That said, do you remember Bud Light/Coors Light Party Balls in the US? The 10L keg dispenses better, is easier to carry and equally as fun!

  • @jeffbguarino
    @jeffbguarino2 күн бұрын

    I don't think it is the tank or gas pressure, it is the soda stream. Currently my stopped working properly. I get lots of gas bubbling into the water but none of it stays in. It was working good a few weeks ago. I think one of the gaskets is not sealing and all the CO2 is going to the atmosphere. There is a gasket that the water bottle fits around and another yellow gasket on the cylinder side. They do sell an older soda stream and you have to screw your water bottle onto it and there is a rubber seat on the top and I think this makes a better seal than the quick slide on bottle that makes the seal on the sides of the bottle. I think that is my problem because I do feel some gas blowing at my water bottle end.

    How easy is it to set up a Guinness tap,without cooler

  • @Keg-King
    @Keg-King27 күн бұрын

    Serving beverages on tap is all about balance. So if you can get the beverage cold without a fridge or a glycol system its just a matter of how you get it out of the tap. You can put the whole keg into a bin of ice and serve with gas or a hand pump or you can move the beer through a cooling device like a chill plate that you keep cold with ice inside an esky like this one: www.kegking.com.au/cast-aluminium-cold-plate-chiller-cooler.html It's not difficult to set something up so you can keep the beer fresh and carbonated with gas as you serve and it's even easier to dispense with a simple hand pump for when you're going to empty the keg in a single session. TLDR: It's not difficult and doesn't require much equipment.

    At 3:40 should you not have released some pressure from the keg to avoid that blow back hence disturbing all the yeast that had settled to the bottom after cold crash..

  • @Keg-King
    @Keg-King29 күн бұрын

    Technically, yes, but it's a floating dip tube in the fermenter. Yeast stays at the bottom, Tube gets a burst of gas to clear it from yeast that may have settled from fermentation and doesn't disturb the bottom because it floats.

    No good for my mate's methods: 30 psi for rapid carbonation, then 5-10 for pouring pressure. No good for less ideal systems that pour differently by temperature, so the pressure needs to be twiddled often

  • @danielheiss6865
    @danielheiss6865Ай бұрын

    This is fully adjustable. What your mate is choosing to do rather than a fail safe method is his choice. The tens of thousands of kegerators we sell are short draw systems that require the use of low pressure around 8 to ten PSI. Change the temp, adjust pressure. The reg is adjustable so that if you want to serve a wheat beer at 15psi, you can. To make it simple for the majority of users we set to the best average pressure for the kegerators we sell but it can always be changed

    Posts, poppets, springs inside the post need to be disassembled and cleaned as do the liquid disconnects themselves need to be disassembled and cleaned once in a while. The disconnects will get a thorough clean just by running the solution through them but it's still a good idea to break everything down once in a while and make sure everything is extra schmick (aka spick and span).

  • @Keg-King
    @Keg-KingАй бұрын

    You can always depressurise and allow the keg to warm up, which as it does will release more carbon dioxide. Kind of like when you leave a sparkling beverage out in a glass, it goes flat. You'll need to get the beverage cold again and leave it under pressure so it will once again carbonate and balance at the pressure and temperature that you require. For most kegerator short draw systems, setting the temp to 2C and the pressure to around 8 to10 psi.
