Keg Lids With Hang Tab Lid – makes dry hopping easy – $16.99 via William’s Brewing Keg Parts Sale

Keg Lid With Hang Tab

Keg Lid With Hang Tab via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

New lid with a hang tab welded on the bottom for hanging our Keg Infuser Ball, Keg Infuser Tube, and other straining bags. This fits Cornelius, Firestone, and Spartanburg brand kegs with 3″ by 3 1/2” oval lids. Includes a integral pressure relief valve. Maximum pressure 120 PSI. Includes a lid sealing O ring.


 

  • Hang Tabs! Keg Lid With Hang Tab – Unique hang tab design makes it easy to dry hop in the keg.
  • Manual vs Automatic PRV:  “Automatic PRV: sounds better than “Manual PRV”, but in my opinion, the opposite is true.  Both styles, generally, automatically vent at a set pressure for safety reasons.  Manual PRVs at the ability to…. manually activate the PRV.  That allows you to easily vent your keg as needed.  A tool is required to vent lids without manual PRV valves.
  • Works with both pin and ball lock kegs: In most cases, Pin lock and ball lock cornelius style keg lids are interchangeable from a size perspective.  That means you can, generally speaking, put a pepsi/ball lock style (manual prv) lid on a coke/pin lock style (no manual prv) keg.
  • An upgrade to pin lock style lids: In my book, that’s a solid upgrade.  See: What’s the Difference Between Ball Lock Kegs and Pin Lock Kegs?

This is discounted to just $16.99 via Wlliam’s Brewing’s Keg Parts Sale. Note: Discounted price reflected at checkout. Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items

New Replacement Corny Keg Lid with Stainless Steel PRV

Gekufa Cornelius Keg Lid, Corny Keg Lid Replacement with 304 Stainless Steel Pressure Relief Valve & O-ring for Homebrew Beer Kegging, Soda Keg Lid

Gekufa Cornelius Keg Lid, Corny Keg Lid Replacement with 304 Stainless Steel Pressure Relief Valve & O-ring for Homebrew Beer Kegging, Soda Keg Lid

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Good Sealing:With New O-ring & 304 SS Pressure Relief Valve, can hold pressure without leaks.
  • Easy to Install: Large handle makes installation easier; labor-saving design of safety relief valve, no need to keep lifting when deflated, just lift once and rotate 90° to continuously deflate.
  • More Sturdy: Made of 304 stainless steel

 

Note from HBF: One difference between Pin Lock and Ball Lock kegs is the type of lids that come with each.  Ball Locks, generally, have a manual PRV valve, while Pin Locks do not.  Ball Lock style lids are, in my opinion, superior because the manual PRV allows you to easily vent your keg as needed.  The good news is that, for standard kegs, the lids are the same size and can be interchanged.  That means you can use a Ball Lock style lid in a Pin Lock Keg.

12 x Keg Lid Replacement Feet + What’s the Problem with Bad Keg Lid Feet?

Plastic Keg Lid Feet Replacement Accessories For Homebrew Beer Keg Parts Kegging Hardware Tool 12 PCS

Replacement Keg Lid Feet

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Made of high quality plastic materials, it is nontoxic, safe and to use.
  • Used to seal faucet mouth to prevent mosquitoes and dust from entering the faucet, causing the faucet to be un and affecting the quality of the liquid in the keeg.
  • Compact size and portable, convenient storage, saving space.
  • Easy to install, easy to use, prevent the liquid from dripping and waste.
  • Great for replacing the old lids that are bent, sunken, or leaking. Perfect for home brew use.

 

Why does it matter?  I’ve found that overly warn, damaged or missing keg lid feet can cause a lid to leak.  When the lid is clamped in place the feet are engaged.  They put pressure on the top of the keg.  That pressure helps you get a good seal.

Universal Poppets – 304 Stainless + Food Grade Silicone & Reliable O-Ring Replacements. 15 Pack Special, Limited Availability

universal poppets

Universal Poppets via Valuebrew

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

A Valuebrew Exclusive! Stainless Steel Universal Replacement Poppets with our Food Safe Silicone O-Rings.

These work with all standard Ball Lock and Pin Lock homebrew kegs.

Ever wonder what other universal poppet o-rings are made of? Us too, after all this is one of the most high contact o-rings in you draft beer setup. We took matters into our own hands and worked with our suppliers to source a 304 Stainless Steel + Food Grade Silicone option. Stainless steel construction on all the metal parts and premium quality food grade silicone for the o-ring.

Our pledge to you… Let’s face it, the stainless pieces in most universal replacement poppets should last a long, long time. How about the o-rings? Not so much… lost, broken, cracked, off smell. This is where our pledge comes in… we’ll always carry replacement o-rings for these universal poppets. No need to guess what size replacements to buy or completely replace your universal poppets because you don’t have a reliable source for replacements.


 

I use universal style poppets exclusively when rebuilding kegs. Finding the right OEM specific replacement poppets can be a chore. Beyond finding the right part number, these can be prohibitively expensive. Paying $10 to $14, or more, for an OEM poppet isn’t fun. In fact, if you really had to pay that, it may not even make sense to keep the keg.

I’ve long advocated to tossing OEM o-rings immediately. You don’t know what they’re made of, and you can’t get replacements. Replacing them immediately with a known quality o-ring and known part number before trimming to fit means you’ll be using the right materials and have a source for replacements.  See: Universal Poppet Tips & Tricks

Well… finally there’s an option that comes with quality o-rings made from the right materials out of the box!  Beyond that, Valuebrew has pledged to always carry replacement o-rings, so you’ll always have a source when the time comes for replacements.  Available in 5 and 10 packs with the option to add on a pack of replacement o-rings.

Universal Poppets < standard page, see below for deal

15 Pack Special…

Valuebrew has always offered 5 and 10 count packs. They are running a limited time 15 pack deal.  These are on sale for $24.49. Coupon code 15pack takes another 10% off.

Fermenting Lid

Fermenting Lid from Keg Connection

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Use your keg for fermenting with this converted lid with a bung and airlock! Compatible with ball lock and pin lock kegs.


 

These have a hole that’s designed to accommodate the included stopper and airlock.  That allows you use a Cornelius Keg as a fermenter.  Use a 5 gallon keg as a secondary for a 5 gallon batch, use a 5 gallon keg as a primary fermenter for smaller batches or use a 10 gallon Cornelius Keg as a fermenter for 5 gallon+ batches.

These should fit standard ball lock and pin lock kegs.

 

In most cases, Pin lock and ball lock cornelius style keg lids are interchangeable from a size perspective.  That means you can, generally speaking, put a pepsi/ball lock style (manual prv) lid on a coke/pin lock style (no manual prv) keg.  In my book, that’s a solid upgrade.  See: What’s the Difference Between Ball Lock Kegs and Pin Lock Kegs?

FIVE Reasons to Ferment in Kegs!…

18+ Liter Ball Lock Keg | Fully Remanufactured (AEB/SAFER/Cornelius) | SEE DESCRIPTION

18+ Liter Ball Lock Keg | Fully Remanufactured (AEB/SAFER/Cornelius) | SEE DESCRIPTION

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

18+ Liter Ball Lock Keg | Fully Remanufactured (AEB/SAFER/Cornelius)
These are top-tier, refurbished Corny kegs made of stainless steel. With stainless steel costs climbing and high-quality used kegs becoming increasingly scarce, this is an offer you won’t want to overlook.

Every keg in our collection undergoes a comprehensive refurbishment process. This includes deep cleaning, machine polishing, and the replacement of o-rings on the lid, PRV, as well as liquid and gas dip tubes, in addition to two o-rings on each post. These kegs are all sourced from elite brands, including AEB, SAFER, and CORNELIUS.

Additional Information on Our Refurbished Kegs:
Though these kegs are pre-owned, they may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections such as small dings and scratches that couldn’t be completely polished away. None of these issues impact their functionality.

After the cleaning and polishing operations, some residue might be present on either the keg’s exterior or its rubber components. While it may transfer onto your hands, this is merely a reminder that all kegs—whether new or used—need to be meticulously cleaned before usage. Proper sanitization is also crucial before filling them with any beverage.

A subset of these kegs has experienced sun damage to the rubber areas, affecting the seal. This could lead to the formation of black marks, particularly when the rubber is wet, although this is less likely when it’s dry.

Lastly, you might find some kegs with double o-rings on their posts. While this may appear out of the ordinary, rest assured they function as effectively as those with single o-rings.

Diameter: 8-7/8″ (225mm)
Height: 22-1/4″ (565mm)
Weight: 9 lbs 9oz (4.34kg)
Volume: 4.75 gallons (18 liters) but some are also slightly more in full volume
Post Thread Size: 9/16-18 UNF Thread on both the IN and Out.


 

The fact is… the era of cheap and readily available used homebrew kegs is… done. I could give you a bunch of reasoning behind that opinion including one of the best sources for used kegs… de-listing used kegs, but I’ve got a regularly updated article on the topic you can check out.

Keg Connection Says…

“People have been receiving these new PREMIUM REMANUFACTURED KEGS and already love them! That’s because there hasn’t been a used keg on the market in this good of condition, EVER. They’re ‘used’ in a literal sense but each of these kegs has undergone an extensive refurbishing process. They have been meticulously cleaned, machine-polished, and fitted with new o-rings including the lid, pressure relief valve, and both liquid and gas dip tubes. Plus, we’ve added two new o-rings on each post.”

Stainless Steel Float with 60CM Silicone Dip Tube Replacement_Kit for Fermenter

My explanation of how these works…

When we carbonate a keg, pressure is being applied to the keg from the top, via the head space. Beer at the top carbonates first. That carbonation works it’s way down the keg. I’m sure there’s also some movement in the keg that helps to mix things up and distribute carbonation. But just sitting there, I think that mixing is a slow process. However it all works, practically speaking, the beer at the top carbonates more quickly compared to the beer at the bottom. This allows you to serve from the top accessing the more carbonated portion of the keg. It’s also a benefit for clarity because trub settles out heading downward. You can see this stratification in a glass carboy. As the beer starts to clear, the top clears first. I don’t think if this is exactly accurate, but I picture carbonation happening with the same sort of stratification until the beer reaches equilibrium and is equally carbonated throughout.

Enter to Win a Keg Rebuild Prize Package from Valuebrew!

This photo is from my Keg Rebuild Post – Jump To: Replacing O-Rings – it is not a representation of the exact prize package.

If you’ve read Homebrew Finds for long you’ll know that I’m a fan of Valuebrew’s lineup of food grade replacement o-rings. They are featured in my Keg Rebuild Post and elsewhere – Jump To: Replacing O-Rings. I also now use their universal poppets exclusively. Those feature Valuebrew’s food grade silicone o-rings and food grade 304 stainless steel. They’ve also committed to always providing replacement o-rings for their poppets.

Valuebrew replacement o-rings feature food grade materials, FDA rated silicone, EPDM and Buna-N. For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings.  Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such. The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials.  More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings

Complete Lineup: Bulk Food Safe Keg O-Rings

Update: Winner Announced….

Highlighted Features
  • Good Sealing:With New O-ring & 304 SS Pressure Relief Valve, can hold pressure without leaks.

  • More Sturdy: Made of 304 stainless steel

 

Note from HBF: One difference between Pin Lock and Ball Lock kegs is the type of lids that come with each.  Ball Locks, generally, have a manual PRV valve, while Pin Locks do not.  Ball Lock style lids are, in my opinion, superior because the manual PRV allows you to easily vent your keg as needed.  The good news is that, for standard kegs, the lids are the same size and can be interchanged.  That means you can use a Ball Lock style lid in a Pin Lock Keg.

My explanation of how this works…

When we carbonate a keg, pressure is being applied to the keg from the top, via the head space. Beer at the top carbonates first. That carbonation works it’s way down the keg. I’m sure there’s also some movement in the keg that helps to mix things up and distribute carbonation. But just sitting there, I think that mixing is a slow process. However it all works, practically speaking, the beer at the top carbonates more quickly compared to the beer at the bottom. This allows you to serve from the top accessing the more carbonated portion of the keg. It’s also a benefit for clarity because trub settles out heading downward. You can see this stratification in a glass carboy. As the beer starts to clear, the top clears first. I don’t think if this is exactly accurate, but I picture carbonation happening with the same sort of stratification until the beer reaches equilibrium and is equally carbonated throughout.

Note from HBF: One difference between Pin Lock and Ball Lock kegs is the type of lids that come with each.  Ball Locks, generally, have a manual PRV valve, while Pin Locks do not.  Ball Lock style lids are, in my opinion, superior because the manual PRV allows you to easily vent your keg as needed.  The good news is that, for standard kegs, the lids are the same size and can be interchanged.  That means you can use a Ball Lock style lid in a Pin Lock Keg.
