The perfect solution for transporting and serving craft beer - NO MORE GRULER!

Stop using Growler! This Keg Smith mini keg is the only way to buy and take home beer from local breweries! With a growler, you have to drink the beer the same day before it goes bad. Using Keg Smith & CO2 I bottled a beer up to 5 days later that was still fresh and NOT stale. Here's the process and why I love my mini keg: - Come to the brewery with a 128 ounce mini keg. The base is marked "128 ounces," making it legal to purchase and ship beer in California, along with a sealed lid (included). The brewery fills it up (128 ounces = 2 growlers = 8 pints) and labels the mini keg with a paper tag. Since Keg Smith is not a brewery, filling mini kegs is legal. Breweries cannot fill other brewery vessels, but they can fill Keg Smiths. There are 4 local breweries near me, I haven't even asked them or turned them down, they just keep saying what a cool mini keg! Smith screw-top keg 4 bangers 16 gram CO2 cartridges Keg Smiths 4 16 gram CO2 banger bags - Four threaded 16 gram CO2 food cartridges (4) - Turn the flow control knob to 8-10 psi and pull the tap . Now the beer is flowing! - When you're done with the night, simply turn off the regulator and leave the pressurized mini keg to preserve your beer and prevent it from spilling. (Growlers can't!) Place the mini keg in the fridge to keep the beer cold. When the beer is ready simply fill the mini keg with hot water and toss in Keg Smith's Mini Keg Tablet Cleaning Tablet (1 per 64 oz) and allow to sit and air pour for 10 minutes dry. I recommend purchasing Keg Smith's Keg Kooler - 1 Gallon Keg Kooler Jacket - Keep your Keg Cold Longer Kooler Jacket, it will protect your mini keg and hold extra CO2 cartridges but more importantly your mini keg will stay cold longer . I kept it on the terrace all day into the night, 80 degrees dropped to 73 degrees outside and the beer stayed cold! It's the perfect solution for transporting beer, even wine and other beverages that need to be carbonated during storage. cold, and bring enough for everyone to enjoy. Your friends will be impressed by its simplicity and functionality, and you'll love the convenience of just a mini keg and the ease of serving beer, far more than 2-foot glasses that shatter if dropped, not cold stay and dress Don't let the beer evaporate. Note. The faucet has a round piece of plastic called a "foam blocker" that prevents foam from escaping the barrel. This protects your beer and also saves you time waiting for foam. Great little feature on the faucet! Bottom line - if you're buying beer in growlers, get a Keg Smith Mini Barrel System.
