Review on YaeBrew Stainless Steel 2.6 Gallon Mini Ball Lock Keg System - Small Batch Homebrewing Beer Brewing Strap Handle (10L) by Tamika Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Portable, inexpensive, not very ergonomic

Bought two of these for my new kegerator. 5 gallon garbage cans won't fit so I use two of these to fit 5 gallon batches. Pros: Even full of beer, it's pretty easy to move around. I did my job perfectly (most of the time, but I'll get to it) - Easy to take apart and clean - Holds pressure and beer well, even at REALLY high PSI (for soda) - Comes with extra o-rings (sort of - I'm too ready to get it) Bad: - Barrel #2 lost extra o-rings for some reason. Not quite sure why. Barrel #2 also arrived under HUGE pressure. I didn't have a regulator connected when depressurizing, but it should have been slightly over 30psi. I'm not really an expert, but shipping a product like this with so many pressure and temperature fluctuations seems pretty dangerous. Still don't understand why he came under pressure. The handles allow you to fold the barrels up fairly well, but they're not very comfortable to hold. A minor issue, but they also tend to cause the barrels to rock back and forth a lot when carried with a single handle.

Pros
  • brewing beer
Cons
  • embarrassing
