Benefits Surround your beer with food grade stainless steel instead of plastic. Stainless steel is the preferred material for commercial brewers because bacteria has a difficult time growing on it, it is easy to clean, and impenetrable to oxygen. With all the news of heavy metals in Chinese products and BHP leaching from plastics into food, why wouldn’t you use stainless steel for your fermentor? The cost? Here is your low cost made in the USA alternative.
How it works The cap is placed over the opening of a keggle and pressed down onto the rim with an Aluminum cross bar and hand screw. A food grade rubber is attached to the bottom of the cap, which makes the seal around the rim when pressed down with the hand screw. No tools or modification to the rim is needed. Instructions Installation of the cross bar is easy, but there is a trick to it as explained below. The keg cap cross bar is the correct length for use with typical half barrel kegs. If used with a unique keg, such as offered by Coors, the cross bar will have to be modified. Please read instructions completely.
Caution:15gallons of wort and a keggle combine weighs approximately 150lb. Use proper lifting techniques and a friend. Technical
