Mini kegs system-anyone has done it?

[Harish dutt]

I am new and this is my 3rd brew this week. My wife does not like the yeast sediment so I am trying to avoid awakening the yeast from hibernation for carbonation and looking at using the keging process to filter and carbonation . I also like to brew variety of beers and limit that to 5 litters of each . I have looked at the mini kegs ( 5 litres) and very keen to build a system from that instead of full size or baby size one ( 9ltr) – would be grateful if anyone can share thoughts or any experiences they may have had with mini 5ltr kegs ?

All I can say is read reviews then go to real kegs... they do make a 1 1/4 gallon keg... you can maybe find a lower price, I didn't search https://www.morebeer.com/products/torpedo-ball-lock-kegs.html

5L mini kegs are difficult to clean. They also distort if slightly over pressure. They use those little 5g Co2 cartridges that get expensive real fast.

Just go to the real thing, you probably will In the end.
