Hands on Review: Kegland 2.5 Gallon Ball Lock Kegs

Updated: November 13, 2024

Kegland, based in Australia, produces a broad array of homebrewing gear. fermenters, electric brewing systems, loads of draft stuff (including DuoTight!) and lots more.

It’s obvious these folks are homebrewers at heart, because they’ve come up some really innovative stuff. The other thing they’ve generally done is hit really good price points. There is a balance between cost, features and quality and they seem to be hitting a lot of bullseyes.

This is an in depth hands on look at Kegland’s 2.5 gallon ball lock keg.

Why a 2.5 Gallon Keg?

2.5 gallon kegs are great for splitting batches, small batch brewers, doing one-off beers from split from a 5 gallon batch… or for easily serving on the go.  Purge with CO2, fill from your tap and place in ice in a 5 gallon bucket…. whammo! You can also use these in conjunction with an inline secondary as a CO2 source for portable serving.

TDS meters can are helpful for brewing if you’re using a RO filter or if you purchase RO (reverse osmosis) water for brewing.  If you’re using an RO filter a TDS meter tells you how effective your filter is and can help you know if your filters need to be replaced.  If you buy RO water, a TDS meter can let you know what you’re getting as some water processors add minerals back for flavor.  A TDS meter will allow you to make sure you’re getting what you want.

RO water can be built up to reflect the exact water profile you’re looking for.  See: Water by John Palmer and Colin Kaminski

Announcing: Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator!

Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator | 16g & 74g Cartridge Compatible | 6.35mm Duotight Compatible

About DuoTight: Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps. Check out my extensive Hands on Review

Announcing: Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator


  • Perfect for home use with compact keg setups or on the go for mobile dispensing
  • Compatible with both 16g and 74g CO2 cartridges
  • Features a 6.35mm Duotight-compatible barb for fast, hassle-free keg attachments

The Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator is a simple, affordable choice for mini kegs and Oxebar keg setups. This compact regulator is designed to work with both 16g and 74g CO2 cartridges, making it ideal for home use or when you’re on the go.

With the 6.35mm Duotight-compatible barb you can connect just about anything within a matter of seconds. Simply pair it with the 6.35mm Duotight Ball Lock QD for a quick and hassle-free connection to your kegs. Or, with the Duotight Reducer, you can adapt the regulator for use with the most common and widely used 8mm Duotight accessories.

For additional protection against liquid backflow, you can integrate a check valve along with some hosing to safeguard your regulator. Please note if liquid enters the regulator, it’s no longer functional. Be extremely careful with overfilling your kegs or tipping them over when the gas has run out.

The regulator is capped at 30 psi to ensure you do not accidentally over carbonate or exceed your keg’s pressure rating. The gauge reads up to 60 psi to account for potential heat expansion so that it does not break the gauge.

Suitable Gas Cartridges:

More Info

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

This used Torpedo ball lock 15 gallon keg has the same great features and superior quality as its predecessors, and will allow large-scale homebrewers to fit their entire batch into a single keg. These kegs are laser welded by an ISO certified commercial keg manufacturer, so you won’t find any nooks or crannies for contaminants to hide. Made with rolled stainless steel handles that are comfortable to grab. “In” and “Out” are etched near the keg posts for a quick and mistake-free set up when connecting lines in a refrigerator or kegerator. The 15 gallon kegs can be stacked on top of each other with ball lock fittings still attached.
Specifications:

Total Capacity: 15.2 gal.
Max Pressure: 130 psi
PRV Rating: 85 psi
Height: 24.75″
Diameter: 16.05″
Made from 304 Stainless Steel
Shipping Box Dimensions: 25-3/4″ H x 18″ L x 18″ W
Weight: 32.16 lbs
These kegs are used but in excellent condition. I have a good number of these but when they are gone they are gone and tough to find. They have only been rinsed and examined during refurbishing so Corny Keg recommends that you clean and sanitize before use. The kegs pictured are stock photos of new kegs but these used kegs look great and will perform like new or we will take them back.

Two Roller Grain Mill… $66.49 w/coupon!

Grain Mill Brewing for Grain Malt Barley, Malt Mill for Homebrew Beer, Grain Crusher Grinder with 4L Hopper 2 Stainless Steel Bearing Rollers and Steel Metal Base Adjustable

Grain Mill Brewing for Grain Malt Barley, Malt Mill for Homebrew Beer, Grain Crusher Grinder with 4L Hopper 2 Stainless Steel Bearing Rollers and Steel Metal Base Adjustable

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • 🧳This equipment is perfect for large batches and high efficiency milling. With two rollers, all your grain will be crushed twice in one cycle. The crush is through the fixed gap between the top two rollers. The initial pass slightly flattens the grain, getting it ready for the next crush that breaks apart the grains and loosens the starch with minimal husk damage.
  • 🧳This Grain Mill is constructed using materials that will last a lifetime. Cold rolled steel for the rollers, and aluminum for body and Stainless steel hopper and oil impregnated brass bushings. The grain mill is professional in grinding barley, wheat and other cereals.
  • 🧳You don't need any additional attachments, just stick the drill on and go. Stainless knurled knobs allow a gap spacing adjustment range of 0.070". Adjusting is simple - just loosen the adjustment screws, adjust the gap and tighten the adjustment screws.
  • 🧳The hopper can hold up to 11 lbs of grains and the roller body features an alloy block frame that houses three steel rollers on oil-impregnated bronze bushings. The drive shaft and all axles are integral to the roller, which makes clockwise or counter-clockwise drive possible. A hand crank is included, but the mill can be easily motorized with a corded electric drill.
  • 🧳It is provided with adjustable 2 rollers which can be crushed cereal well and peeled shell off perfectly, so as to be good for brewing beer in future. The 2 rollers design has the main advantage that it draws the grain better and gives improved throughput.

 

Milling your own grain… 1.  Gives you control over the crush of your grain.  That’s a big factor in efficiency.  2.  A mill allows you to fine tune for your equipment and process.  You know what the crush is going to be since you set it.  3.  A mill allows you to save money by buying whole bags of grain at a discount, and 3.  The shelf life of unmilled grain is longer than pre-milled grain.  Freshly milled grain = better tasting beer.

My home-brewery or most of my home-brewery is in my basement.  It’s in a good sized utility room that was drastically underlit for home brewing purposes.  Same story for our last house.  Basement brew area, low light.

I’ve added several similar workshop lights [different model, specs and manufacturer] to the area and it’s made a huge difference.  Instead of what seemed like a cave, I’m now in a well lit space.  Those have made a big improvement, made it easier and more pleasant to work in my brewery.

Back In Stock!… GREAT Deal on Cannular Can Seamer – on sale for $399 = past deals on used units

Cannular Bench Top Can Seamer CAN100

Cannular Bench Top Can Seamer via MoreBeer

More Info

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

The Cannular is a manual can seamer that is easy to use, reliable and beautifully simple.

Whether you’re a brewery looking to offer canned beer to go or a homebrewer wanting to keep your creations fresh and fully protected from light, the Cannular is the answer. This bench top unit is one of the most compact and easy to use can seamers you’ll find. The Cannular only requires one person to operate, and each can takes roughly 5 seconds to seam. With a two-person team, one filling and one seaming, the Cannular becomes a suitable option for nano breweries doing small canning production runs.

Operation:
The beauty of the Cannular lies in how truly simple it is to operate. With only three points of operation, it only takes a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the machine. The seaming process is as follows:

Place lid atop the can and place the can on the platform
Turn the platform lever clockwise to raise the can to the seamer
Press the button to turn the machine on and begin spinning the can
Push the seaming lever away from you and hold for 1-2 seconds
Pull the seaming lever towards yourself and hold for 1-2 seconds
Press the button to turn off the machine and stop spinning the can
Turn the platform lever counterclockwise to lower the can
That’s all there is to it!

Construction:
The Cannular was designed to be compact, durable, and safe to operate in a wet environment. The platform assembly is made from 304 grade stainless steel, so no matter how messy your canning gets, there’s no need to worry about rusting or degradation. The body of the unit is made from hammered sheet metal and bolted together with stainless steel screws. Rubber feet help keep the unit from slipping and sliding while in use. Additionally, the Cannular features built-in brackets near the feet so you have the option to mount the machine to your counter or benchtop. The Cannular runs off of 24v DC power via the Anderson socket located on the back. This lower voltage was chosen specifically to make the unit as safe to use in a wet environment as possible.

Power:
As noted above, the Cannular comes with a 24v DC Anderson socket located on the back of the unit. It does not, however, include a cord and plug. When purchasing the unit, you’ll have the option of pairing it with either a power supply with 110v plug, or with a 6 ft. long cord with Anderson plug and alligator clips. The power supply is straight forward, and allows you to plug the unit into a standard 110v power socket. The alligator clips give you the option to power the unit from a battery, and can even be used with an 18v cordless power drill battery. This is certainly the most affordable option for powering the Cannular, and we’ve found that upwards of 200 cans can be seamed on a single battery charge.

Why Cans?
So why can when you can bottle? There’s no doubt that canning has become a more and more popular format for packaging beer among craft breweries over the last several years, and with good reason. Aluminum cans aren’t just more environmentally friendly than bottles, since cans require less energy to transport and recycle, they’re also much better at protecting the quality of the beer. Whereas bottles allow in light, which leads to skunking, aluminum cans offer 100% protection from UV and other wavelengths of light that are harmful to beer. There’s still great debate surrounding whether cans or bottles are better at keeping beer fresh, but if done correctly, cans are theoretically the superior option. When a crown cap is crimped onto a bottle, the lining of the cap can form an imperfect seal on the bottle, allowing small amounts of oxygen in, as well as small amounts of CO2 out. Over time this can result in oxidation of the beer and lost carbonation. Seamed cans, on the other hand, form a much better seal that can prevent these issues. Of course, it’s important to make sure that the can is purged of oxygen before being filled, and that the can lid is sealed atop foam to eliminate oxygen from the headspace. Aside from all the “sciency stuff”, cans are just plain safer. Take your beer backpacking, camping, or poolside and rest assured that broken glass won’t ruin your day!

Specifications:
Power: 250W
Rated Speed: 3300 RPM
Gearbox Ratio: 9.8 : 1
Power Plug: Anderson Type 40A
Can Height: 45-170mm (1.8 – 6.7 inches)*

Back in stock!… Russian River Consecution, Direct From the Brewer Recipe – Includes Actual Consecration Barrel Chunk

russian river consecration homebrew

From MoreBeer… “Beer lovers rejoice! Vinnie from Russian River Brewing Co. has released his Consecration recipe to us, and we’re very proud to be able to offer it to the homebrewing community. Consecration is a sour dark ale aged in a Cabernet Sauvignon barrel. It is aged for 4 to 8 months with currants and brettanomyces. You can look for rich flavors of chocolate truffle, spice, tobacco, currants, and a bit of Cabernet.

What sets this kit apart from any other kit out there, is the fact that we include a chunk of an actual consecration barrel in each one! Whether or not the bacteria from the original beer will form their own colony in your beer is hard to prove right or wrong. Either way, we think it is pretty cool!”

Used 5 Gal. Pin Lock Kegs KEG432

OR, LESS than HALF that price…

5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg – Dual Handle – Reconditioned

Reconditioned 5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg

Our reconditioned pin lock homebrew keg is the perfect affordable solution for home brewing and beverage making.  Pin locks are the alternative to the more-common ball lock kegs, and they have some unique features and benefits of their own.

First, the “pin” part refers to the method of attaching the disconnects to the keg posts. Pin lock kegs have (not surprisingly) pins on each post – two on the liquid, one on the gas. These pins hold the disconnects very securely, and because there’s two pins on the liquid side and three on the gas, you’ll never confuse one line for the other. Kinda cool.

Second, pin lock kegs are typically shorter than similarly sized ball locks, making them ideal when space is a little tight.

Finally, they’re cheap! These kegs give great bang for the buck without giving up anything in performance.

So go ahead and do something a little different. Grab a classic 5 gallon pin lock keg or three and stand out in the homebrew crowd. (Oh, and they’re also pretty great for cold brew coffee, nitro coffee, soda, Kombucha tea, and whatever else you’re drinkin’)

Reconditioned 5 Gallon Pin Lock Keg Features

  • Durable stainless steel construction
  • Dual rubber handles—colors will vary
  • Reconditioned – cleaned, sanitized, de-labled and pressure-checked prior to shipment
  • We replace the keg O-rings as necessary during testing. We still recommend that you keep a spare set on hand at all times, as O-rings sometimes crack in transit and when you clean the keg.
  • Great for homebrew beer, soda, and Kombucha tea, as well as nitro coffee and cold brew coffee

Keg Specifications

  • Keg body of 304 stainless steel
  • Approved by the NSF
  • 9″ diameter x 22″ height. Keg dimensions may vary slightly from wear.

This is a Class 1 keg. That’s the best condition used keg we offer, but please remember the keg is still used and will have some scratches, dents and signs of wear


Good used pin locks have been hard to find…  When I started brewing pin locks were cheaper than ball locks, but that has changed. There’s been a real reversal in used keg pricing. Used pin locks have been tough to find in stock, especially at anything close to what I would call a good price. For example, see MoreBeer’s Pin Lock Offering. This is supply related. New pin lock kegs are not coming into the homebrewing market and we’ve finally hit an availability wall.

As of this posting Beverage Elements has these for just $34.95. That’s an outstanding deal! This the kind of price we saw 5+ years ago. Get them while you can!

Use a Hop Randall for Increased Hop Flavor and Aroma

BouncerMD inline beer filter (Mac Daddy) Pictured: BouncerMD inline beer filter (Mac Daddy) – Hands on Review

The Hop Randall or Randalizer, originally referred to as Randall the Enamel Animal is the brainchild of Dogfish Head Brewery Founded Sam Calagione.  It’s designed to infuse beer with hops (or other spices) at serving time as the beer is being drawn from the tap.  Typically you would use whole leaf hops, but ingredients like spices can also be infused using a Randall.

If you’re looking for a Randall infuser for your homebrewing setup, here are some options:
