FerrodayCarbonation Keg Lid for Corny Keg Lid Carbonation Stone Beer Force Carbonation Keg Lid Diffusion Stone Carbonating Keg Lid Carbonator Stainless Steel 304 Keg Lid for Cornelius Keg - 20" Tube

When we started with carbonated water from a kegerator, to replace store-bought, we were carbonating the keg-way - hook it up, every now and again rock it around, rinse/repeat for 3 days or so, then it's fizzy.But since we're both physically disabled, this way was difficult, painful, and took a lot of effort. Then I discovered the micro posous stones thing from a YouTube video, came to Amazon to research, found this.The price was good, it looked easy, and the brand seemed fine, so we pulled the trigger and got one.Best. Purchase. Ever. for the kegerator project!Two days to carbonate a corny keg, we could probably do it in one but we like to be certain. But for us, not having to manhandle a 5 gallon keg and slosh it around for 3 days is a real benefit!If there is *one* criticism I could have about the lid, it's how the relief valve ring sits - it ends up underneath the seal arm, so unless you remember when you put the assemblage together to life the relief valve ring up and clear before pushing the seal bat closed, you can't vent the keg.Other than that, this has made life easier, produces carbonated water quicker than just sloshing the keg around for a couple of days. It's easy to clean, easy to use once you figure out the trick to getting it into the hole to rotate it (2 posts - try to get the pressure relief valve to go under the edge of the keg's entry rather than the gas post). Comes with everything you need (which isn't much). Recommend this 100%!

I normally force carb with the set it and forget method, over the course of 2-3 weeks. I've never had great luck with the burst carbing methods where you crank it to 30 PSI and shake it, etc. They always end up either way over carbed, or way under carbed. Anyway, I wanted to get a beer carbed for a competition quickly, so figured I'd spend the $25 to get this. With Prime shipping, I got it the next day. The nice thing about it is it carbs fast and there's no way to overcarb, because you never set the PSI higher than you normally would. You just hook it up, and set the PSI at like 4, then turn it up 2 PSI every 2 hours. I had great luck with my first beer over night, so I ended up moving the lid to 2 other kegs I had sitting in my keezer, slow carbing. I just carbed to 2 PSI over my normal serving pressure, 1 PSI for the "wetting pressure", and 1 to account for the small loss when swapping the lid. If you don't want to swap the lid, these are cheap enough you can just buy one for each keg.They come with the lid, hose, stone and a worm clamp to connect the hose with the lid. I didn't find the worm clamp to be necessary, since the lid post is about an inch long. The lid itself seems pretty high quality, I don't really forsee any issues with it. The silicone tubing was nice. It wasn't super sticky like most silicone tubing usually is. Between moving it from keg to keg, I would simply put the whole kit and caboodle in my 1 gallon pot and boil it. Fits nicely in a 1 gallon bag for storage (you don't want to touch the stone or get anything on it, or you can clog the tiny pores).If you are a careful observer of my photos, you will notice that I use pin lock kegs. It's somewhat unfortunate that these only come in ball locks, but that seems to be all any of the different brands support. I played around with trying to swap out the ball lock, with a pin lock, but it didn't seem like I'd be able to unscrew it. There's nothing on the bottom to hold on to, except for the post. However, every pin lock user should have at least one quick disconnect that screws on/off, so they can swap it with a ball lock, since that is what the new gadgets seem to support. I like to go one step further and have a luer lock disconnect installed on one gas line, so I can hook whatever I want up to it. It makes it very handy for easily attaching stuff. You can see it in action in one of the images, search Google (luer lock beer keg) for more info on setting one up. I recommend them for ball lock users too!

I have an unhealthy addiction to seltzer. Morning, noon, and night... it's all I drink. I was purchasing so much of it from the grocery store that we were burning though our monthly grocery budget on La Croix. Not good. I looked into things like Soda Stream, but they make so little seltzer at a time and they are so expensive to use. There needed to be a better way! There was.As it turns out, you can buy a 5 gallon "corny" keg at your local homebrew store. These are what homebrewers make beer in. You can then fill that keg with water, put it some flavoring (I use 20 packets of true lime per 5 gallons of water), put it in a kegerator, and here is where this product comes into play.Regular corny kegs have 1 intake for CO2 in the top. If you use this port, it will definitely carbonate the water and turn it into seltzer... in a month. If you use this cap and the included carbonation stone and put your CO2 regulator up to 40psi, you can have a whole 5 gallons of seltzer on tap and carbonated overnight! This little product has saved me so much money its unbelievable. Thank you for making my addiction affordable!Note- if you want to make seltzer this way, definitely use the flow control faucet. 40psi will cause the water to come out of the faucet so fast it will lose all its carbonation.

This leaks terribly around the whole circumference of the top. It’s like it’s too small and the arm doesn’t cam down with enough pressure to keep a seal, no matter what corny you put it on (I tried it on 4 and wasted a lot of gas trying).I bought this because the other manufacturer’s lid I bought leaked at the gas post. That was much easier to fix than this. Sending this piece of junk back.

I'm on my second brew using it and the only small issue is the PRV, sometimes it doesn't come back to the closed position, but a couple of wiggles get the job done.

todo bien

I've bought 3 of these now, and I am very pleased. Room temperature carbonation goes from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 days. Obviously, even faster when chilling your keg. I've had good seals and no product problems, but if I did, I would rate my review on my interactions with the seller rather than the original defect. This is a quality carbonation stone setup for a good price.
