HIT PLAIN SILVER P.KEG W/TAP
5 Liter Party Keg w/tap
Mini-Keg, 1.33 Gallons: More kegs = Fewer bottles! Each keg needs an additional bung. Approximate dimensions: 6.5" in diameter. 9-11/16" tall.
About the size of a gallon of milk, and holding five liters, (approx. 12-12 oz. glasses), this is an excellent solution to bottling your brew. Once filled, then stored in a cool place, the beer will stay fresh for up to and over 6 months before tapping. Plastic and metal CO2 units will keep the beer fresh for up to 90 days, while air-pump dispensed brew should be consumed in 3-5 days.
Care and Feeding Of Mini-Kegs
Min-kegs offer an economical, easy and convenient alternative to bottles.
Mini-Kegs are portable, so you can enjoy fresh, cool draught beer for picnics and parties. 5 liter Mini-Kegs are
made of electrolytically treated tin-plate. The inside has gold lacquering protection. The special coating protects
the freshness and imparts no off-tasted to the beer. For homebrewing, special care is needed for re-use of the
Mini-Keg. Replacing every 6-8 fills is recommended by the manufacturer. To clean the tap, rinse with warm
water; for the keg use a very mild cleaner such as One Step Cleaner. Do not use any strong corrosive chemicals
or abrasive cleaning materials.
Priming Use 1/3 cup of corn sugar to prime a five gallon batch of beer, or use 1 tablespoon per 5 liters of beer.
You may adjust the amount of corn sugar if necessary, but do not use more than ˝ cup of corn sugar for a five
gallon batch of beer. Prior to putting beer in the Mini-Keg with corn sugar, make sure the fermentation is
finished. Test the beer first with a hydrometer. Fermenting beer, or too much priming sugar, will cause excess
pressure in the Mini-Keg, which could cause the Mini-Keg to bulge or explode. Deformed or damaged kegs
should never be used.
Filling To fill, simply siphon beer into the Mini-Keg leaving about one inch of headspace. Seal the keg by
pressing the rubber bung into the hole in the top. Moistening it will probably help. Make sure the pointer on the
red tab top is pointing to the “0” on the bung to seal the vent. Store in cool dry place, avoiding any sunlight.
Aging time is 2 to 4 weeks.
Tapping To tap, assemble the tap according to the pictured instructions on the box. Make sure you have
screwed the rod onto the base snugly. The threads are plastic, so do not over tighten. Remove the red tab top of
the bung. Push the rod of the tap through the remaining center piece of the bung.
Beer can be drawn with natural pressure for the first 1-2 glasses. When beer flow stops, set regulator at shut-off
position (the narrow point) then screw the 16 gram CO2 charger into the tap. You should hear the CO2 charger
get pierced by the pin. Do not over tighten the CO2 charger. Turn the CO2 regulator to control the CO2 flow
into the Mini-Keg. One 16 gram CO2 will usually be enough to finish one Mini-Keg. To prevent beer from going
flat, there must be CO2 in the Mini-Keg at all times. Do not turn off the CO2 and drain the keg as this will create a
vacuum and damage the Mini-Keg.
The CO2 tap is equipped with a regulator to control the amount of CO2 to be put into the Mini-Keg. If you
experience excess amounts foam in the beer, you should reduce the CO2. When pushing the dispensing lever,
one should push it down all the way. A half opened dispensing valve will cause excessive amounts of foam.
Refrigerate your kegged beer prior to serving. Keeping beer at a cool and constant temperature will minimize
fluctuations in carbonation level. If you beer is over-carbonated for whatever reason but the keg is not bulging, do
not apply CO2; internal pressure is sufficient to dispense the beer.
Storage The entire 3-piece bung is re-usable. Simply retrieve all the pieces, clean and reassemble them for
later use. Make sure the keg is thoroughly dried and cool to prevent any rust. Once dry, you can re-place the
original plastic cap or the clean bung for storage. Remember to replace your kegs on a regular basis as mentioned before.
Safety Warnings For your own safety and others, keep CO2 chargers away from children, and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use,. CO2 bulb holders have a pressure release hole at the end of the
holder. Blocking this hole can cause an explosion. Use only Mini-Keg compatible 16 gram CO2 bulbs, as others
could be dangerous. 8 gram CO2 bulbs are not recommended, but can be used only with an approved adapter.
Other objects will block the pressure release hole and could cause an explosion. Never try to screw out a CO2
bulb that is not totally empty. It could shoot out of the holder and cause injury. To screw out a CO2 bulb, simply
loosen the bulb holder 1 or 2 turns until you hear gas flowing out through the back of the holder. When the gas
flow stops, it is then safe to remove the bulb. Never use the tap handle to carry your Mini-Keg.
And, last but not least, relax and have a homebrew!
TAP-A-DRAFT STARTER KIT
Kit Includes: 1 Valve, 3 Six-liter Bottles, 3 Caps, and (6) 16gram CO2 Cartridges. The best miniature kegging set up we have used. The Tap-A-Draft allows you to serve any carbonated beverage with all the benefits, and without all the expense of costly, bulky CO2 Tanks and Regulators.
TAP-A-DRAFT is perfect for most refrigerators, camping, parties, etc..
Each Tap-A-Draft bottle holds 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of beer and fits perfectly on a standard refrigerator shelf. Three 6-liter bottles hold 4.75 gallons of beer. The dispensing tapping unit holds one 16 gram CO2 cartridges and features a preset regulator that dispenses the CO2 from the cartridges into the bottle at a steady rate. The bottles can be tapped for up to 6-8 weeks. These bottles are primed using 3 ounces of priming sugar per 5 gallons. After aging (2-4 weeks) remove cap, tap, and dispense. One 16 gram CO2 cartridges will dispense the entire 6 liters. Tap-A-Draft bottles are reusable for at least 6 batches. This includes the Tap, six 16-gram CO2 cartridges, and three 6-liter bottles. Everything you need to bottle and dispense 4.75 gallons of beer.
Dimensions of bottles:
Diameter: 7"
Length of bottle: 12";
Length of bottle with dispense tap: 16"
The Tap-A-Draft is an economical and space saving portable beer dispensing system. Three (BPA free) 6 liter PET bottles hold 4.75 gallons of beer, virtually all of a 5 gallon batch.
The Tap-A-Draft features a 6 liter BPA-free PET bottle, which screws onto the tapping unit for dispensing. The tapping unit holds one 16 gram C02 cartridge, and features a preset regulator that dispenses the C02 from the cartridge into the bottle at an even rate, so you can leave the unit for a month or two, and still dispense all the beer with the 16 gram cartridges .
When brewing beer for the Tap-A-Draft, prime the beer first by using 3 ounces of corn sugar per 5 gallon batch (about half a cup). Then fill the bottles and seal with the included 38mm screw caps. Let age like bottled beer until they are carbonated (this system will not artficially carbonate beer by C02 injection). To serve, remove the cap and screw on the Tap-A-Draft tapping head, insert the 16 gram C02 cartridge into the unit, chill and dispense.
One 16 gram C02 cartridges will dispense the entire 6 liters of beer, and the built in regulator will keep pressure steady for up to two months. The 6 liter pet bottles are usable until they become damaged, usually for at least 6 batches. The pet bottles will keep beer fresh for 4 months. For longer beer storage, look to our Mini Keg Systems or full-sized Beverage systems. You will need 3 cartridges to dispense three bottles (4.75 gallons). A portable space-saving draft system at a great price
Includes the Tap-A-Draft tap, drip tray, Six 16 gram C02 cartridges, and 3 six liter pet plastic bottles (with 3 caps). Everything you need to bottle and dispense 4.75 gallons of beer. The assembled unit with bottle and tap is 15" long, and 7.5" in diameter. The sealed bottles themselves are 12.5" long, and 7.5" in diameter.
To serve, simply open the valve by pulling forward until beer is flowing. It is best to open the valve all the way to avoid foaming. The valve has two regulators built in that hold a constant 15 psi, to maintain a constant carbonation level. There is a built in check valve to stop the gas from going from the bottle into the valve. Also, if the pressure in the bottle ever exceeds 60psi (usually from excessive warming, or wild fermentation) the valve will open and relieve the pressure in the bottle. The valve itself is covered by a one year warranty against any manufacturing defects.
Carbonating: To do an average 5-gallon batch of beer or soda, you will need 3 six-liter bottles. The bottles can be carbonated one of two ways.
Natural This is the easiest and most popular way to carbonate beer in the Tap-A-Draft. Simply prime the beer as you would for standard bottling. You can use less sugar than normally would when using bottles; 1/2 cup (3oz) per 5 gallons should be sufficient. Let sit with cap on for 14 days and then attach valve, refrigerate and serve. When naturally carbonating with corn sugar. Store at 65-75F for 1-2 weeks. Make sure you STORE the BOTTLES UPRIGHT.
Forced You can force carbonate the beer or soda by using the 16-gram CO2 cartridges. Simply fill the bottle, attach the valve, insert the CO2 cartridges, and place into the refrigerator. Since the valve holds 15psi, the liquid should carbonate in about 7 days. Most of the CO2 will be absorbed into the liquid, so replace the cartridges when the beer flow slows. Usually it just requires 2 cartridges (1 to carbonate, 1 to serve) when force carbonating. When using this method it is very important the beer starts and stays cold to ensure Co2 is absorbed into the liquid.
Use for serving carbonated water and for making fruit flavored soda:
You can use Tap-A-Draft as a way to dispense carbonated water. We recommend using filtered water free of chlorine from a Brita or store bought distilled water. You can also use our fruit flavorings we offer to make sparkling fruit soda. Just add 2-3 cap fulls to your glass of carbonated water or go by taste. A great treat for your wife or kids.
