Ultimately as a kit brewer I wish you could get a 23L stainless Cornelius keg but the new 4L PET kegs will be welcomed by me for packaging the difference between a 5 gallon kit and a 19L corny.

As for the bigger one I think I still prefer stainless due to it's longevity and ability to be washed with very hot water. Might have considered if it were 23L not 20L.

I’m tempted by the 4l one, as it would completely remove the need for bottling, and I reckon that it would work well with my beer engine. 4l is a reasonable amount to drink before it goes stale.

I think the 20l kegs are a good price point for people to get into kegging. I thought to myself before I opened the link “what would be a reasonable price, considering a used Corny is ~£55” and I thought I’d be happy to pay £20-£25 if I didn’t already have 4 kegs.

Not sure if allowed in light of above, but I know they're relatively new so thought I'd add my experience here.

I have a few of the 8l ones and am happy with them after one use. No signs of oxygen ingress and easy and quick to fill. One will be getting filled shortly, so we'll see how it does with a higher carbonated style. They fit in nicely in the gaps beween cornies in my kegerator nd are perect for the stronger/weirder brews where I'll only do a half batch.

how do you use them , im wary about putting a carbonated beer in them and closing up with a black cap.. do you fill and store them with a tapping head or a screw on black cap? do you prime them in teh keg? again black cap or tapping head?

 

[YeastFace]

I clean, fill with sanitiser, then screw on the tapping head, and push the sanitiser out with CO2 through the liquid out post.

Then release some of the pressure in the Oxebar keg and counter pressure fill from my fermenter or a larger keg. Hook up to Co2 in my Keezer and in a week or 2 it's ready to drink.

I've not keg conditioned in them, but no reason you couldn't.

I only use the black cap to store between use.

Ok as I thought, you almost need a tapping head for every Oxebar you have, unless you are using it to store starsan or similar.
Im tempted to condition one on my next brew and black cap it... then switch to a tapping head when I put it on tap.

I have been looking at these to use when I go to the caravan.

I have 3 and 2 tapping heads. As you say I just store sanitiser in one and rotate as a full one empties.

Im thinking a tapping head (currently 16.80 at angel) for every 4 or 8L keg doesnt make them a cheap option..

im deffo interested in the 20L version though as Id get more in my beer fridge than I can cornys.

Just realised this is exactly what Ive been looking for! I have a lot of corny kegs and am very slack about cleaning the lines in my keezer as its always a faff. 4L PET keg filled with line cleaner and pressurised up will make it a breeze... might buy 2 and have 1 filled with starsan to purge the lines after cleaning... good cheap and easy solution.

My plan was just a have one or two tapping heads. When I put beer in them I'll just put a cap on it and maybe purge any head space with a bit of CO2, I do similar with my corny kegs. When I actually want to drink it I'll put the tapping head on and force carbonate.

Other option is to add priming sugar, put the cap on, and then when I want to drink chill it down take the cap off, swap to the tapping head and pressure it up. You lose a little bit of gas that way but most of it should be dissolved in the beer already.

Could you tell me if PCO38 TAPPING HEAD KIT can be used with cartridge CO2 for gasing the brew? I am thinking about taking my brew for a travel abroad to South America, so, I will decompress the vessel, buy CO2 cartridges in the destination and use to gas the brew up. I assume it will take any soda cartridge?

Will they let you take it on the plane, my daughter was pulled last at GDG Paris she had a bottle of tango in her hand luggage she had forgotton about

The tapping head (well the carb cap you screw into the tapping head) has a corny style gas post so you'd need something like this

Think carefully about this. You will only be able to take this in a checked in bag (i.e. goes in the hold). Now with the reduced air pressure on a plane I think that will cause some / all of the CO2 in the beer to come out of suspension and will pressurise the bottle. It could then possibly leak all over everything else in your hold bag. If you're taking it uncarbonated it will likely be ok though. To be honest though I just wouldn't risk it. I might throw up some questions when they X-Ray the bag meaning you get dragged aside at departures and questioned as to what the liquid is, or worse they just don't put your bag on the plane.

I think the problem with transporting alcohol in checked in luggage on an aircraft is that the rules only mention commercially produced beverages, in that they must be in their original container plus there are other restrictions ie. The quantity and ABV etc.
My advice would be contact the airline and get an answer in writing. That said in a former life I had to transport unusual items by air and sometimes although the carrier agreed in principal the Captain always had the final say.
