Easy Keg 5L

[MickDundee]

Ignore the other post, yes they can be used, you just push the middle through with the tap.

This. Take off the vent thing, then push the tap in which knocks the red middle into the keg the same way as the grey bungs. I have a red and black bung that has been reused in this way 4 times.

Looks like you can screw a co2 bulb into it to add co2

I think it's a pressure release valve to stop you overriding your kegs.

Yea that seems to be the one. Does it just stop over-carbonation? Has anyone else used one of these?

Every day's a school day, never knew you could re-use them

I think (some) commercial ones are different, but the black/red bungs you get with easykegs from Brew UK and Leyland can certainly be reused.

I have ordered some from Germany - lets see if they deliver & not cancel & how long it takes....

I've got a bag of them somewhere but never thought of using them with the tap, have always used the grey ones.Are they as easy as the grey ones to get in and out of the keg?

What is in them? You can get kegs of German beer for same price in UK

A bit more work but easy enough.

Has anybody tried attaching mini kegs to a beer engine?

I haven't read about anyone doing so (and I think our forum/this thread is the number one source on mini keg info)and I dont know a whole lot about beer engines but I dont think you'd need to because you could use the gravity tap on the mini keg to create a similar effect to that of a beer engine

If you look them up on YouTube they show how to reuse them.

I am a member of a couple of pub shed groups in Facebook and it's been done on there.

They are empty kegs - Paid £62 for 12
Where can I get a keg of beer for £5?

You haven't got a keg of beer for £5.

You can get kegs full of beer for £10

I think you paid about �£2 extra to get them from Germany than if you'd got them for �£5 each in the U.K.
Unless of course your German ones have beer in them in which case it's probably a much better deal.

Need to label my kegs better, just opened a stout instead of a Pilsner.
