to oxygen and stay fresh up to 18 months
untapped & 3 months once tapped.
STANDARD SIZE + PARTS
Our 1/6th barrel kegs have standard
dimensions & fit into all draft systems.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Reusable steel kegs save millions of pounds
of trash from the landfill every year.
Compared to disposable plastic kegs, steel
kegs reduce the carbon footprint 30-50%
& up to 96% better than wine in bottles.

For an existing direct draw system retrofit, all you need is: 1. Wine-certified Hardware, NO BEER PARTS! Any metal that touches wine needs an upgrade to 304 grade stainless steel (this includes your tower, faucets and couplers) 2. Wine Grade Tubing to prevent oxygen leaks, flavor transfer and off tastes. Lines and hardware need to be cleaned quarterly, or when a keg is changed or replaced. 3. A blend of 75% Nitrogen and 25% CO2 (AKA Guinness Gas or BevGas) should be used. For direct draw, a pressure setting of 4-7 PSI is all that’s needed.

Locate the regulator (attached to the gas).
Check upper gauge (0-60 psi). LOW PRESSURE
Using a flat head screw driver, twist the screw to the right GAUGE
to increase flow; twist left to decrease flow.
REPLACING GAS
If the left gauge of the regulator reads less than 300 psi, It’s time
to change the gas. Here’s how:
Turn off the gas by closing screw valve at the top of the tank.
Unscrew the brass nut connecting the regulator to the tank CONNECTOR
Pull old tank out & replace with a new one.
Screw in the regulator and then turn on the tank.
