Keg Dispensing Equipment
Can I use a 5 litre heineken keg to dispense homebrew?
My girlfriend and I are homebrewers, and we own a corney keg. We don’t have the rest of the equipment at this point to use it. I was wondering, in the mean time can I use an empty 5 litre keg (heineken, etc.) to dispense Home Brew? I don’t even need to buy one, because the beverage store supplies me with empties, even grolch bottles! Thank you Beer belly bob’s. Friends that taste our beer ask us to bring it to parties, because we have gotten very experienced at the hobby. This would be pretty convienent, even after we puchase the rest of the equipment for the corney keg system, because of portability.
There are 5 liter keg systems available at your local homebrew store. They have replacement bungs and CO2 injectors available so while technically you can reuse them it’s really a PITA when you take into consideration how easily damaged they are, how difficult to clean, and what a low value for the money they are. It’s much more cost effective, fun, and pain free to just use your corny. If you’re concerned about portability, there are also 3 gallon cornies and there are small CO2 cylinders dispensing systems. I sometimes take my homebrew in 2 L soda bottles. You can take the cap of a 2L bottle, drill a hole in it, and add an air valve. With an air chuck on a line to your CO2 tank you can even carbonate right in the bottle.
