The benefits of the 9L Soda Keg?

The 9L Soda Keg has many advantages. It is easy to use, robust, and guarantees a high-quality beer. In addition, it is economical and environmentally friendly because it is infinitely reusable (provided it is well cleaned).

Its size is also a selling point. It easily fits into a domestic fridge, a simple pressure tap installation will suffice to draw your beer from the kitchen. Otherwise, it allows you to make small experimental brews or to bottle part of your brew and keep the other in a keg to avoid spending too much time on the bottling step.

Like with larger volumes of Soda Keg, there is no need to add sugar for carbonation. Connecting a CO2 cylinder makes it very easy.

And if I want to carbonate with sugar?

No problem! That being said, you should underdose compared to bottles, with a soda keg, so that the pressure draw is done without problems, there is a consensus not to exceed 4g/l of sugar.

How to clean a Soda Keg?

After fermentation (or before first use), it is recommended to wash the 9L Soda Keg with hot water using a sponge and neutral dish soap. For this, fill the Soda Keg halfway, scrub, close everything, and shake. You will then need to unscrew the connectors to clean them.

After a good rinse, fill the keg halfway with hot water and oxybrew (or star san), close and shake vigorously. You can then connect a CO2 cylinder with a little pressure to expel all the cleaner through the beer outlet (for this, you will need to connect a tap via the Ball-Lock). This will also clean the inside of the rod present at the beer outlet.

You can also help yourself with a FastWasher Rack.
