Description
This great value re-usable plastic keg is the best way to store your home brew in a smaller-sized container than traditional 19L corny kegs. The small 8-liter size is convenient, lightweight, and perfect for sharing beverages with friends.
Do not exceed 4 Bar / 65psi or 45°C
This 8L keg is lightweight, compact, and has high oxygen barrier properties with 3x better (less) gas transmission than traditional PET grades of plastic, making it suitable for beer storage or other oxygen-sensitive carbonated and non-carbonated beverages.
This product is sold with the PCO38 cap and PCO38 Tapping Head (KL20169) for dispensing using ball lock disconnects. This is by far the most popular entry-level keg system for those just starting.
What is Oxebar Mono?
Oxebar Mono is a PET polymer blend that utilises several polymers blended together to significantly improve gas barrier properties. When compared with standard PET plastic, Oxebar Mono is able to reduce oxygen ingress and CO2 loss, so your precious beverage is preserved, and shelf life extended by x3. We recommend this product for beer stored in a keg for up to 6 months.

Periodic Hydrotesting Requirement
All pressure vessels should be hydrotested periodically. This is a very simple process, and it's nothing to be feared. We recommend that this container be pressure tested every 2 years up to 6 bar. The instructions for this are:
- Remove the RED PRV and fit the GREY PRV (you can borrow one of these from a 19L keg).
- Fill the keg to the absolute brim with water. DO NOT forget this step.
- Use a bike pump, CO2 regulator, air compressor, or any other pressure source to pressurize the keg to 6 bar.
- Hold the keg at 6 bar for 1 minute.
- Release the pressure and immediately remove the GREY PRV and swap it back to the RED PRV.
Note: This test should be done with the keg and water at room temperature (15-30°C).
