Cornelius Kegs Explained: How to Pressurise, Serve & Maintain Your Home Bar

Why Cornelius Kegs Are Worth the Investment

If you've been bottling your homebrew for a while, you'll know the drill — sanitising dozens of bottles, priming each one, then waiting another two weeks to find out whether the carbonation has landed right. Cornelius kegs change all of that. Force carbonation gives you repeatable, controllable results, and serving from a tap is simply a better experience for you and whoever you're pouring for.

A basic corny keg setup consists of:

  • A 19-litre (5 US gallon) stainless steel Cornelius keg
  • A COâ‚‚ cylinder and dual-gauge regulator
  • Gas and liquid disconnects (ball-lock or pin-lock)
  • ["kegging", "cornelius keg", "packaging and serving", "carbonation", "home brewing equipment"]
