One CO2 lasts 4 tankards

I bought mine here in Maui as well as the 64 oz tankard. I followed the YouTube video. Its a very light touch. Its all you ever need. So far i have filled the tankard 13 times. I get one CO2 to fill the tankard 4 times. Ok, where to buy the CO2. Ebay. Mine was shipped from Florida and they were food quality. Good price good service So far i got five tankard refills on one CO2 from eBayPut alittle olive oil around the air inlet on the cap. Helps lube the oring on the CO2 adapter.So after filling

Pros
  • Works VERY well! Great gift!
Cons
  • The extra parts may make it more difficult to pour the beer into a glass

Easy to use but not practical

Bought this to pair with the growler (which is great). It's easy to use/clean but not very practical. I gave it 5 stars because it is quality and works as intended. We will probably continue to just pour our beer directly from the growler. Perhaps it's better suited for someone who plans on not draining their growler in one night?

Pros
  • if you purchase the big growler you need this!
Cons
  • The cap may be difficult to properly secure, potentially leading to spills or leaks

Total Impulse purchase.

Tried it out once, and put it back in the box Works good, but just not feeling it. I bought this for a 1 Gallon Drink Tank. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Very cool!!!
Cons
  • The need for additional equipment makes it less convenient for on-the-go use

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very creative and fun to use.

Great item. Had an issue with it not working properly and contacted customer service and the issue was resolved quickly.

Pros
  • ‎Training, Climbing & Adventures, Camping & Hiking, Indoor, Outdoor & Anytime
Cons
  • The kit may not be compatible with certain types of taps or dispensers

A week in, this is money well spent.

If you don't like this product you might not be using it right or you dislike the proprietary CO2 cartridges. I can't blame you for the latter, but for the former, a light touch is required. Having filled many things with butane over the years I'd say you pressurize slowly until a little gas leaks out, then stop. No need to fully depress the cartridge.I'll keep this review up to date, but must say after a week of use I'm quite impressed.

Pros
  • Transforms Growlers Into Kegs - Instantly convert your DrinkTanks insulated growler into a portable mini keg with this premium Keg Cap. It fits 64 Oz and 128 Oz DrinkTanks beer growlers, helping you be ready to celebrate the best moments anytime!
Cons

Not worth the money, especially for the 64oz growler

This review is based on using with the 64oz growler, have owned it for about 5 months as a gift.Sorry but I'm having a hard time justifying the existence of this product considering the hit or miss nauture of "getting it right" on the CO2 fill. I'm hardly a novice when it comes to pouring beer and for the amount of times I've just slightly used it wrong it's just not worth the effort for the tap aspect of it. Being able to just have a cap with the co2 insert and no tap (for 1/4 the…

Pros
  • Works well on my growler. Keeps my beer carbonated.
Cons
  • Pure foam and horrible customer service.

Doesn't work, bad pour, too much work, costly c02

I love the growler but the c02 only gets me about a cup of beer. I've burnt through 3 c02 tanks just to serve three 16 oz of beer. I feel like this isn't really designed to pour out of the nozzle but simply to keep beer fresh longer. Basically, it doesn't work. I feel like the pressure release valve should hold more pressure for a pour or they should simply design the cap to pour while tipping sideways and the c02 is simply to keep beer fresh. Maybe I'm missing something. If I am, I would like…

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • The kit may not be compatible with all types of carbonated drinks

Love / Hate Relationship

I've used the Keg Cap for about 10 months on about 20 64-oz growler fills. I want to love this product, but it has not lived up to its full expectations.Pros:- The CO2 preserves beer for longer than an unpressurized keg.- The "kitch" factor is awesome, until you get to the actual act of pouring beerCons:- I have never been able to obtain a good pour from this system. It's always either super-foamy or low-and-slow output- I have to recharge the growler at least once per pint pour…

Pros
  • I love it.
Cons
  • Expensive price point for a product that might not significantly improve the drinking experience

Works fine.: my feedback

Works fine. I did find that you have to be very exact when you seat the cap. The tracks for the latch bars has to be line up straight so you do not apply too much stress on the latch. Fully open the tap to pour or you'll have a glass of foam.

Pros
  • Easy to Use & Maintain - Turn your growlers into a beer keg using our smartly-designed keg accessories with fewer parts that are easy to use and maintain. This kit includes a CO2 injector that charges within 0.5 seconds and a tap clip that secures the faucet when not in use.
Cons
  • The cap may be difficult for people with arthritis or other hand/wrist problems to use

It works as advertised, the quality of the threaded adapter is very poor, the plastic thread is frayed and as I thought this must be due to a blunt tool on the lathe I contacted the manufacturer and asked for a replacement. The customer service is very friendly and professional and they sent me a spare part for free. Unfortunately the new part had the same frayed thread.But the Keg Cap works fine and I like to use it.Drink Tank is launching currently a bigger Growler with a new CO2 system and…

Pros
  • nicely packaged, nice item
Cons
  • Item leaked.. the customer service is terrible. So dissatisfied

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not sure. Could be great but could be junk.

First time worked great. Second and third time so so. Foam. Beer blasting into glass from too much pressure. Probably user error. Gave four stars cause I want it to work and don't want to jinx it. I'll keep trying.

Pros
  • Works great.
Cons
  • The extra weight of the kit may make it uncomfortable to carry

it was still nice and carbonated

Took a little practice but I got the hang of it. Pour the first couple of pints from the drink tank (I gave the gallon one) before charging it. Filled my drink tank on a Saturday morning at a brewery and the next day at the beach, it was still nice and carbonated. Tbh, I did keep the drinktank in an ice chest submerged in icy water. I like my beer COLD. I’d say one cartridge will get you through to gallon growlers.

Pros
  • ‎7 x 7 x 4 inches
Cons
  • The accessory kit may be too expensive for casual beer drinkers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not a good purchase.

It is difficult to find co2 cartridges for the cap. Other than keeping a small amount of draft beer somewhat fresh it is very inefficient. Not worth the money.

Pros
  • Great way to convert growler to mini keg! It was a big hit at the happy hour at our friends house.
Cons
  • I received this item without the co2 injector cap and the 2 co2 canisters

Extends growler life. can't get a good pour.

We've used this keg cap on 10-12 growler fills since purchasing, both on our 64oz and 128oz DrinkTanks. We've tried varying levels of air pressure and varying degrees of finger pressure on the pour nozzle but can't manage to get a good pour with any consistency. We don't bother with the nozzle anymore but we're still glad we made the purchase because it does a better job of extending the life of our growlers than the regular cap, even if we do just pop the keg cap and pour like a regular…

Pros
  • Son in law loved it
Cons
  • I was very excited to use this. However, the handle broke off after only three refills.

Good idea, bad execution

I get either zero pressure or the beer shoots out extremely fast. No in between, and after every pour it needs to be pressurized. I have the 128oz drinktank growler so it might be good for keeping the growler carbonated when I don’t finish it.

Pros
  • worked well
Cons
  • The kit adds a layer of complexity to the drinking process

Adds a Big Fun Factor

I bought my current 64 oz growler of beer last Thursday afternoon, I will finish it tonight (Monday), and it is the DrinkTanks Keg Cap that kept the beer carbonated & fresh-tasting. My current CO2 canister is finishing its third growler and it still has a little gas left. Best of all, it has been great fun to use my Keg Cap dispenser! It took me a short time to get the hang of it. Mainly I have learned to use surprisingly slight pushes of CO2. Note my Keg Cap cap piece initially seemed too snug

Pros
  • ‎855398007441
Cons
  • The kit may not be effective for non-carbonated drinks like cider, wine, or mead

Doesn't maintain pressure very long

I really like the drink tank, but don't buy this lid. Could be much improved. This lid does not maintain pressure and I have had to waste some expensive beer and that is not acceptable. Have tried it multiple times. I would ditch the tube and add a handle so it can seal.

Pros
  • ‎DrinkTanks
Cons
  • The cap may make the beer taste metallic or otherwise alter the flavors

Good idea but it needs a regulator

I know there is a pressure release valve at 10psi but I wish I could dial in the pressure that I want so that it doesn't over pressurize. First pour is always foamy.

Pros
  • This one is for my son. He wanted it three months ago. I hope he still does.
Cons
  • Did not receive co2 injector.

Must have add-on for all DrinkTanks

Fantastic product! This has been a great addition to my DrinkTank, makes an already great growler even better! Additional parts increase the risk of pieces getting lost or misplaced!

Pros
  • VERY COOL! works great, and never ceases to amaze people. just like your own personal mini keg.
Cons
  • Additional parts increase the risk of pieces getting lost or misplaced

Needs to be regulated, as the Kegulator was.

I really wanted to like this product. With it not being regulated, it pours a foamy brew for 90%, then perfect for 10 seconds, then out. Time to recharge. Also uses the externally threaded CO2 containers which are expensive. Really not worth it. If you are looking for a self dispensing growler unit, I would look at one of the others. As a Growler, these are top of the line. Not worth the price, and not enjoyable as a dispensing unit.

Pros
  • I bought this for my husband for a birthday present a long with the growler. He absolutely loves it!
Cons
  • Cheap pressure relief and plastic fittings. Does not hold consistent pressure.
