YB YaeBrew Stainless Steel 2.6 Gallon Mini Ball Lock Keg System For Small Batch HomeBrewing Beer Brewing Strap Handle (10L)

Has worked great for transferring over a couple gallons of homebrew to take to a club meeting or friends house. Was a great birthday present to myself. No leaks. Great size.

Edit: After 1 year the keg is working perfectly. No leaks after filling it about 10 times. The only issue I've seen in this 1 year period is the keg lid o-ring completely disintegrated. I've been brewing for nearly 24 years and have used about 50 keg lid o-rings in the past and have never seen one fall apart like this one did. It has to be the worst quality lid o-ring I've ever come across. It literally crumbled under the pressure of the lid. My advice would be to change it immediately before using this keg. I wouldn't trust it. Original review: I have a ton of the 5 gallon kegs that I use for serving homebrew but didn't have anything smaller for taking beer out of the house so I bought this. It's great! The size is perfect, it holds pressure and it looks like it'll last forever. I connected a faucet directly to the beer out post and it works perfectly. I charge it with a 5 lb CO2 tank and a regulator. It pours exactly like my 5 gallon kegs do. No complaints whatsoever. Oh and mine only came with 5 psi of pressure upon delivery. Maybe they listened to the people here complaining about the over charged kegs being sent out and fixed it.

I have a 1.75 gallon as well as this 2.6 gallon which stack on each other perfectly. This allows me to have 2 kegs in my kegerator where I would normally only get 1 5 gallon keg. I normally just transfer my partial kegs over to these to open up a full size when a beer is done fermenting. I use a bit more CO2 doing this but to have more beers on tap and not WAIT to keg them, makes it 100% worth it.

This is a great little keg. I'm happy with the look and feel, seems like good addition to my brew kit. I see a lot of reviews about the gas in stem being the wrong size, I got lucky and mine was the correct. It did come preserized, about 50 psi on it. It's full of beer right now, I'll update if there are any problems.

Like others have pointed out, the gas post is too large to properly fit into a standard disconnect. I measured a known-good post that I've been using for years at 0.618" OD. You see that the post from this keg has a 0.629" OD. This dimension is consisent both above and below the O-ring (so it's not just the thin lip of metal above the O-ring). You'll see how I loaded the post into my lathe down in my machine shop to take some material off to reduce the OD. My cutting tool for this job was some 220 grit sandpaper. Took about 10 minutes to bring the OD down to an acceptable dimension, after which I washed all the parts and re-assembled the post onto the keg. It's working fine now. Although this was a quick fix, I should not have had to do it. Also, like others pointed out, the keg arrived very pressurized but in good condition although the box was somewhat beat up. I'm not talking pressurized like I drove it up a mountain and it belched out a little gas-- this thing sounded like 30-40psi (I make seltzer, so I run this pressure all the time). Overall, I'm happy with it for the price.

These are good for small batch brewing and fit perfectly in my mini frig kegerator conversion. Great for specialty beers or experiments to where you don't want a whole 5 gallons. They should hold up well as long as you take care of them. Good purchase.

This keg is small enough to fit about anywhere. It is great, it keeps its pressure and more importantly, it keeps my homebrew. Pressure transfers are made easily with a spunding valve. There is a small amount of maintenance with this keg as with all kegs. This is my second keg as I like to make 5-gallon batches of beer, I need two. If ever again I purchase a keg it will be one of these.

My keg arrived under a good bit of pressure, but the release valve took care of that. Everything looked great until I opened up the keg. BOTH the IN and OUT have just the small dip tube! Keg is useless as is. Since it's made in China, don't know how long it will take to get them to ship me the proper length tube for the OUT. Considering going to the local brew supply store and seeing if they have a dip tube that would work. Also, there were no extra parts, so if it was supposed to come with extra gaskets or whatever, mine had nothing.

Siguen teniendo problemas con los conectores ya que no embonan bien Voy a tener que forzarlos para meterlos en los barriles con el riesgo de que se rompan
