A little help, this keg is heavy!!

I was just handed 6 of those 5 liter party kegs, and was wondering if there is a C02 attachment for pressurizing? I have used the kegs already for my latest beer, and found out I overprimed the beer before kegging. That means this batch is self-carbonated, and I gotta keep an eye on it, but I would like to C02 carb the next batch I dump in there. So a bit of help please...BTW, I do have a pump that was donated with the kegs, so I can get the beer out. I guess I could just pop the top and get a straw....:fro: :rockin:

If you're talking about this type of 5-liter party keg then it should come with its own built-in tap. There is also an accessory connection that will allow a keg charger to be connected to it. Be warned, some have a tendency to leak.

Good luck,

That's the critter!
Well..yes there is a tap built in to one of the kegs, but the others have to use the aforementioned pump.

The prices on that site are unreal. $98 for a corny? Jeeze!

I have about 15 minikegs with the built in tap. There's a special bung for them where you just turn the "knob" and it allows air to enter. It's a gravity feed tap.

You'll need a real tap for the others. The bung should have a hard plastic center that gets pushed out (into the keg) when you push the "draw straw" into the keg. Be sure to lubricate the straw with water prior to using. It'll slide in better.

I have that tap, is there one to carb with C02? I guess I should have asked that to begin with..

NO. All the kegs get primed with 1 tablespoon (TBS) of corn sugar. I have gone as many as 3 TBS. Depends on the carb level you are trying to achieve.

The sugar makes the carbonation and the CO2 dispenses it from the keg.

Well then, thanks. I might still go for the corny kegs and C02. Thanks for the help...
