Pin Lock users are regularly left out when it comes to parts and accessories.  Point in case… I am aware of very few offerings for pin lock post o-rings (0 offerings in bulk).  Most shops sell the same o-ring for both ball and pin lock posts.  Pin lock post o-rings are larger than ball lock post o-rings.

From Valuebrew:

“Pin Lockers Rejoice! We’re excited to announce we have sourced Pin Lock Post O-Rings made from FDA Silicone! You can finally buy Pin Lock specific o-rings in food safe materials… in bulk quantities.”

CMB Flow Control Event or Party Faucet – by CM Becker + Keg Deals at Keg Connection

CMB Flow Control Event or Party Faucet via Keg Connection

More Info

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

This Flow control beer gun is designed to deliver beer fast and foam free at your event or party.  Extremely well made German product!

  • Flow control allows you to dispense beer fast and foam free, you can also use shorter hose length and 1/4″ or larger inside diameter hose for faster flow.  The flow control valve will allow you to restrict the beer flow and control foam, so beer length and inside diameter is not important! (you can even use the braided soda style hose if you prefer).
  • Extremely high quality German Made Product.  Made for commercial use in large volume event settings (or to deliver your homebrew at a party with perfection!)
  • Easy to use and simple to take apart and clean.
  • Parts made from NSF approved Plastics and Stainless Steel.  Sanitary/food service grade product.

 

This is an upgrade to the standard cobra or picnic tap.  It’s a larger easier to hold faucet and it includes flow control.  That allows you to offset pressure to give you a good pour without having to add loads of extra tubing.  These are marketed for parties or events but could be used in your everyday setup.

  • Check the product page for current price and availability.
  • HBF Readers Save More!  Coupon code HBF5OFF saves you 5% off EVERYTHING site wide.  Stacks with all non-coupon sales
  • These also fall under Keg Connection’s Flat Rate Shipping Promotion.  Your entire order ships for one flat rate, no matter how much you order, to addresses in the contiguous US.

Keg Connection Keg Sale!

Ball and Pin Locks on Sale!

Cornelius Keg “or Firestone”, 5 Gallon, Ball Lock – Pepsi Style for Homebrew/Soda, Used | CLEANED

More Info

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

This is a re-conditioned 5 gallon ball lock, soda keg.  They are sometimes called “corny kegs” because of the manufacturer, Cornelius, but they can be made by several manufactures including Firestone, AEB, and others.  These kegs have been cleaned and pressure tested using the following process:

  • Rinsed out with water on the inside and sprayed on the outside.
  • Soaked in a hot “Brew Clean” solution for about an hour with poppet valves depressed to fill dip tubes with cleaning solution. Then re-rinsed.
  • The keg is then pressurized and soap tested for leaks, then left for several days and re-tested for pressure before shipping.
  • If you keg has a “sweet” smell when you open it this is normal.  This smell comes from the residual “Brew Clean” cleaner, NOT from soda. Just rinse the keg and sanitize again before kegging.

These kegs ship under our flat rate shipping (some of our competitors exclude kegs from free or reduced flat rate shipping programs).

These kegs come with their original O-rings AND a new set of O-rings at no additional charge (some competitors charge up to $3.99 for this new set of O-rings)  This O-ring set includes Lid O-ring, two post O-rings and two dip-tube O-rings.

Please remember that these are used kegs.  They will have dings, dents, stickers on the outside and could have some permanent staining that will not effect your beer.  The tops and bottoms may have black material coming off that will leave black marks on your hands or other areas. This is due to sun exposure and is very common in used kegs. If you want a perfect keg we sell new kegs as well.

Again – these are used kegs and are returnable but you will pay the shipping to return them.


 

  • For a limited time, Keg Connection has these kegs marked down a whopping $20 to $59.95.
  • Save ANOTHER 5%… HBF Readers Save More!  Coupon code HBF5OFF saves you another 5%.That makes these kegs $56.95.
  • Flat Rate Shipping: Keg Connection’s Flat Rate Shipping PromotionYour entire order ships for one flat rate, no matter how much you order, to addresses in the contiguous US.

Hands on Review: Keg Connection Kegerator Conversion Kits + Limited Time DEAL on Keg Kits

kegconnection.com kegerator review

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Kegerator Conversion Kits from Keg Connection

Most everyone that homebrews, started out by bottling their homebrew. And a lot of people that have done it for a few years eventually move to kegging. If you haven’t made the move yet, you might be trying to decide between buying a pre-configured kegerator or getting a kegerator kit and a fridge or freezer to build yourself something custom. When I first moved to kegging I was too intimidated to go the custom route and bought a pre-configured kegerator. If I had known then how simple a kit was, I definitely would have gone the custom route and got more for my money.


Limited Time Deal:

  • Keg Connection is discounting their entire lineup of keg kit kegging systems by 15%.
  • There are multiple options to choose from. No coupon code is required.
  • HBF Readers Save More! HBF5OFF takes another 5% off.
  • Shipping is a flat fee no matter how much you order to addressed in the contiguous US.

I recently scavenged my original 2-tap kegerator for parts when building my upgraded 4-tap keezer. But then I decided I had a use for the kegerator again, so I needed to get a kit to bring it back online. Keg Connection carries a myriad of kits. If I was starting from scratch and customizing my own keg-bearing refrigerator, I could get a kit a kit that had the shanks and everything to put the taps into the door. Or a tower kit to come up out of the top of a small dorm-sized fridge. In my particular case, I still had the 2-tap tower and shanks, so I only needed some of the components. Keg Connection lets you customize to any level with reasonable price adjustments for whatever you add or delete. So I got only what I needed.

FLOTit 2.0 Stainless Steel Floating Dip Tube | NO BEER LEFT BEHIND

FLOTit 2.0 Stainless Steel Floating Dip Tube | NO BEER LEFT BEHIND

More Info

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

Are you seeking crystal-clear beer right from the tap? Introducing the FLOTit 2.0 Floating Dip Tube, your solution for filtering out hop particles before they enter your beer lines. This device features a compact stainless steel float, measuring just 1½ inches in diameter!

Setting up the FLOTit 2.0 is quick and easy: simply detach the beer post from your ball lock keg, remove the existing long dip tube, and replace it with the shorter tube provided. Next, connect the silicone tubing to the tube’s underside. Submerge the entire setup in the keg and trim the tubing to allow the float to sit at the keg’s bottom.

The package comes complete with a 22-inch silicone tube, a dip tube adapter, a 304-grade stainless steel float equipped with a stainless mesh filter, and additional replacement seal gaskets for the mesh filter.


 

  • Keg Connection is now carrying FLOTit 2.0! This is already one of Keg Connection’s most popular products
  • These are on sale for $29.95.
  • Stacking coupon code HBF5OFF makes FLOTit 2.0 just $28.45 at checkout.

Works with AEB KegsHands on Review

Check out our In Depth Hands on Review of FLOTit 2.0

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.
