This 5 gallon white plastic barrel comes with a pin valve cap, so you can keep your home brew under pressure and pour it from the tap like a cask ale. It is the simple, low-cost way to skip bottling a full beer kit.

What you get

  • White plastic pressure barrel with a tap
  • Cap fitted with a pin valve that pierces 8g CO2 bulbs held in a bulb holder
  • Supplier listing: 25 litre plastic barrel with pin valve (code 7072)

Using it

Syphon your fermented beer from the fermenter into a clean, sanitised barrel, add priming sugar and seal. Once conditioned, serve from the tap. When the flow slows, screw an 8g bulb in a holder onto the pin valve to add a little CO2.

Complete the set

Ideal for first-time kit brewers serving ales and stouts at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CO2 does it take?

The pin valve is designed for 8g CO2 bulbs fitted in a bulb holder, sold separately.

Do I still need to prime the beer?

Yes. Add priming sugar when you fill the barrel so the beer conditions and builds its own pressure; the CO2 bulbs are for topping up as it empties.

How do I clean it?

Wash it out after use and sanitise before refilling. ChemSan needs no rinsing; VWP cleans and sterilises but must be rinsed out.
