Kegland Growler Sized Ball Lock! – on sale for $69.98 + Hands on Review

Picture from my Hands on Review

Kegland Growler Sized Ball Lock Keg from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Possibly the smallest keg you can make that will fit a corny-style keg lid. This half gallon ball lock keg works perfectly as a pressurizable growler that doesn’t require any special fittings or accessories beyond the ball lock draft equipment you probably already own.

If you’ve been considering a permanent soda water line on your draft system, this is the ideal keg to use with the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid. The low volume of this corny keg will allow the Carbonator Keg Lid to almost instantly carbonate water as it refills the keg after every pour.

This little guy also works great as a line cleaning keg using a small batch of cleaning solution.

Hands on Review: Cool Brewing Corny Keg Cooler Bag

cool brewing keg cooler bag review

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Cool Brewing Corny Keg Cooler Bag

There’s no question that bottled homebrew is a vastly more convenient method of sharing your brews than kegging. You can bring in a bottle to share with co-workers in an innocent looking bag for them to take home, or show up to a house party with a 6-pack. However, there’s also no question that taking that whole fermentor full of beer and transferring it into ONE container is a much easier task of packaging. And not having to figure out how much bottling sugar is needed for your lager vs. ale that was fermented at a cold temperature but bottled at a warm temperature, is also nice.

Just like there are products out there that make bottling easier, there are also products out there that make sharing your draft homebrew easier, too. While you can certainly fill a growler with your draft beer and have a nice compact mobile size, for those that really want it easy, Cool Brewing comes to your rescue. They make insulated bags so you can just stick your entire keg into the bag, throw in some ice, a picnic tap, and a portable CO2 regulator and you’re ready to go.

This is really a re-announcement. These were available a few years back under the ToteGlass brand. They were very popular. They typically sold out in short order each time I posted that a batch was available. They became unavailable months ago. According to the product page, Valuebrew has worked with the manufacturer to re-introduce them!

Quantity discounts are available. Valuebrew also offers replacement gaskets.

As of this posting, judging by the product page, these are close to another sellout.

Kegland DuoTight Inline Secondary with Gauge! control each keg separately & more – on sale for $15.99

DUOTIGHT IN-LINE REGULATOR WITH GAUGE

Duotight Regulator with Gauge via Great Fermentations

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This 8mm Duotight compatible regulator with 0-60 PSI gauge fits 8mm outer diameter EvaBarrier tubing. Suitable for gas, all components are food grade. The included gauge is accurate to plus or minus 6 PSI.

Note: This unit comes with a 0-60 PSI gauge that is only ¾” in diameter. If you intend to use this regulator in the 10 to 30 PSI range, you will need to order optional gauge C93, which reads 0-30 PSI. Below 10 psi, this regulator is not very accurate. You will also need EvaBarrier tubing to connect this regulator, either our item number Z91 or Z92.

This is perfect for reducing the pressure of one gas line in a draft system – for example, with a single regulator and C02 bottle, you can set the pressure at the C02 bottle with the larger regulator (not included) and then put this regulator inline to reduce the pressure. Handy for when you want to carbonate one keg at 25 PSI and dispense another at 10 PSI.

Kegland Benchy Carbon – $799, Save $100 via Summer Cooling Sale

Benchy Carbon

Benchy Carbon

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Do you want to dispense cold beer off the grid or while camping? The Benchy Carbon from KegLand is the first beer chiller to use a revolutionary Carbon Heat Sink which means no glycol liquid coolant is required. Other similar chillers have glycol coolant that needs to be emptied before transportation to prevent spillage. The carbon heat sink makes the unit even more useful for portable keg dispensing as you have no liquids to accidently spill out when moving, and there is no need to keep filling the unit with expensive glycol coolant.

The integral Carbon Heat Sink also means the unit is quick to cool down, and it can go from room temperature to cold in under 20 minutes, much faster than a liquid filled glycol chiller. Once you are serving beer, figure on being able to serve about 1.5 gallons of cold beer per hour, pausing 2 minutes between each pint served to let the unit chill down again. Keep in mind the keg is at ambient temperature, and you are only cooling the beer you are about to serve, which saves energy versus keeping the entire keg cold.

The Benchy is dual power capable, which means you can run it off 110 volts or 12 to 24 volts DC with an optional Anderson Plug cable with alligator clips. It draws 60 watts when cooling, 1.6 watts when idling, which works out to about 15 watts per hour at an ambient temperature of 70° F. This means it can be run off a car battery or any other 12 to 24 volt DC power source with over 60 watts capacity. It can also run off a power inverter – make sure you get one rated at 500 watts or higher to power the Benchy’s cooling fan. Current draw at 12 volts DC is 8 amps, and at 24 volts DC it is 4 amps.

It features dual Nukatap Flow Control taps, and has dual 8mm EvaBarrier compatible inlets for connecting your beer line(s). It weighs 49 pounds, and includes carry handles on the top for easier tranport. 9¼” by 14″ footprint, and 19″ tall.

The centigrade only control on the back panel allows for a centigrade temperature range of -2 to 30, which works out to 28° to 86° F. Note the unit does not heat, and only cools, so you cannot set it to dispense at a temperature warmer than ambient temperature. We also recommend you do not set the temperature below 1° C, to avoid freezing beer in the machine.

The unit does make noise, about as much as a quiet inverter gas generator (69 db right in back of the unit) when the fan is on. When the fan is off, it is silent. It weighs 49 pounds, about the same as a 2000 watt inverter generator, so if are familar with inverter generators, this is about the same as far as handling and noise. Unlike a generator, however, the fan that produces the noise is not always on. All in all, a little noisy for indoor use, and ideally suited for the great outdoors.

To set the centigrade only integral temperature controller on the back:

1. Press SET and the wording SET will display

2. Press SET again and the target temperature will display

3. Now press the UP or DOWN keys to adjust to the desired centigade temperature

4. Press the SNOWFLAKE and the machine will record your setpoint and start cooling

Valuebrew Swing Top Caps and Adapter – Convert Standard Growlers to Swing-Top Growlers – FREE Replacement Gaskets + Reader Feedback

Swing Top Growler Cap & Adapter

Swing Top Growler Cap & Adapter from Valuebrew

These convert standard standard screw top growlers to a swing top closure. They are easy enough to install and uninstall that you can move them from growler to growler

These are an easy upgrade to standard growlers that generally seal better and look better. Very nice for when you’re locked into using a certain growler for a refill or to dress up cheap glass growlers.

This is really a re-announcement. These were available a few years back under the ToteGlass brand. They were very popular. They typically sold out in short order each time I posted that a batch was available. They became unavailable months ago. According to the product page, Valuebrew has worked with the manufacturer to re-introduce them!

Quantity discounts are available. Valuebrew also offers replacement gaskets.
