Keg King 6 Kilo Gas Cylinders offer a cost-effective solution for pressurizing your carbonated beverages without breaking the bank. Each cylinder is Australian certified and undergoes hydro testing to guarantee reliable performance for up to 10 years from the date of manufacture*.
Since February 2019, these cylinders feature a newly designed handle for easier handling and removal. The improved handle now screws directly onto the metal threads on the cylinder’s top, simplifying orientation and use.
Ideal for those who carbonate and dispense large quantities of beer or live far from a filling station, the 6kg cylinder is a more economical choice than renting from a gas supplier for periods exceeding 12 months.
Features:
For carbonation and dispensing, you’ll typically use about 6g of CO2 per liter. If you brew and carbonate your own beer, you can expect to carbonate and dispense around 500 liters or 25 x 19L kegs. For pre-carbonated commercial beer, expect to dispense about 1000 liters or 20 x 50L kegs. Note that these figures apply when the kegs are cold, as in a kegerator. For room temperature dispensing, such as with a jockey box, higher pressure and more gas will be needed.
Refills
Empty cylinders can be refilled by the Aardvark and Arrow Brewery.
Typically this will cost between $20-35 for a 2.6kg Cylinder and $40-70 for a 6kg Cylinder.
These cylinders come with a 10 year approved life span. After this time for CO2 fillers to be able to fill your bottle, you will need to get it hydro statically tested for your safety and theirs while filling it for you.
This can easily be done at a local fire station or a certified gas mechanic/supplier.
To avoid running out of gas prematurely, it is essential to check for leaks and perform a pressure test. Watch our video for instructions on how to do this.
Please ensure the cylinder is never operated inverted; the valve must always remain upright.
