2.5 G ball lock kegs

Very happy with these. I do 2G Mr Beer brews in addition to 5G brews, so these are perfect for my 2G batches. Currently have them both in mini/keggerator, a honey porter and a cherry wheat. Also have ideas to split a 5G inti them with different adjuncts in each keg - win,win. Would highly recommend these to anyone wanting to keg in smaller batch sizes.

Lid housing leaks

I used this small keg once and the relief valve housing leaks. I replaced the relief valve, it did not stop the CO2 seepage. There went my CO2 bottle.

Nice little keg!

I recently had a chance to fill this with a DIPA and it worked great. Welds look good, but I only took it up to 30psi for carbonation.

Draft Brewer New 2.5 Gallon Ball Lock Keg

I've been reviewing the various products available and found this one to be the best for the buck. I'm happy with the metalwork and the stainless detailing. Its new but has the "old school" feel having the heavier construction. The quality is better than expected. I hoist a brew to the QA/QC team!

Donald R.

As expected. Fittings snug. Welds solid. Shipped quickly

Embrace the small guys

These mini kegs are perfect for bringing beer to a party, keep in your normal fridge, or sending some home with a buddy. Embrace the small guys, Bigger is not always better!

wow, expensive but nice....

Unfortunately these little kegs are super expensive because they are really nice to have around. I'm assuming it's because there is no real market for them outside of the homebrewing world so they are market up pretty high. Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that they are handy to have around. I like doing small test batches BIAB on the stovetop so these fit my brewing perfectly without wasting CO2 by filling up half a 5 gallon keg. They seem to be the same quality of the bigger ones, just smaller and cuter. Could also be used to keg half a batch and bottle the rest if doing a full five gallons.

Anyone who claims they brew at home to save money lies. Thats not why we brew. We brew beuscae we like good beer And we like using our hands And beuscae we like good beer too!!Even if it cost twice as much to brew 5 gallons than it did to buy 5 gallons, I would still brew. Probably not 3 times a month, but I would still brew at home.Cloning 5 gallons of tecate? Not saving any money.Cloning 5 gallons of 90 Minute IPA? Maybe.Solution: Brew more than 5 gallons at a time. :)My 2 cents.

2.5 gallon kegs

This is an ideal size for a 3 gallon batch of beer. they are a little pricey comparied to the 5 gallon keg. Very compact size for any freezer /refeg/ ice chest. If you think one won't fit your partying needs, bring two kegs

Great but pricy

I've got two of these at this point and they are great! Well made and quality ... They work great for splitting up a batch into a keg and the rest bottles or say two small batches tweaking or adding to one or the other but to be selling them at the same price as a 5 gallon one.. Shouldn't it be half the price since it's half the size?_x000D_Great but pricy

Is this mini keg 304 grade stainless?

Can I use this keg to prime my home brew and use CO2 dispenser to dispense my beer? I don't want to force carbonate.

Midwest Supplies

Yes, you can add 3 oz of corn sugar and wait a couple weeks.

Midwest Supplies

Hi there- that is definitely fine! Cheers!

Can the ball lock valves be removed for cleaning?

Midwest Supplies

Yes, very easily. I’ve had no previous experience with kegging and have been able to easily remove, clean, and keg a new home brew.

Midwest Supplies

We never remove the valves to clean the keg. We have a hose with both female connectors on it that we use to flush the valves and the keg.

Midwest Supplies

Yes, and its pretty easy to do

Midwest Supplies

Yes, the valves are removable

Midwest Supplies

Yep!

Can this be used with nitrous oxide?

Midwest Supplies

The keg can't be used with nitrous oxide but you can you it with a nitrogen set up! Cheers!

How tall & wide is it?

Midwest Supplies

Hi there, the keg is about 15" tall and 9" wide. Cheers!
