Looking for an awesome mini regulator that actually kicks butt? No more losing half your 16gram bulb or having leaking issues with the connection. The KegLand new mini regulator with core depressor is the bomb and will complement any mini or portable keg system. Works great, is well engineered and will last you a lifetime.

Awesome! Looks like you thought of everything! Again. Now the long wait for these to arrive in the US :)
I'm waiting for this, and the nukatap
Kicking goals and inovating to make things better!
You guys rock!
Now just need to work on making stock...
I put a setup like this together about 9 years ago. Things have come so far!
It's really convenient using paintball canisters because they can be filled for $6 at most sporting goods stores, you can keep a full backup on hand, and they are cheap to replace when they go out of registration.
I've run into a lot of the same problems you guys did;
- angles are difficult to manage. gas line exits downward. gas line from the tank to keg comes loose, leaks, knocks things over, etc.
- heavy full size regulator (for use with a keg) tips the canister over
- regulator dial broke pretty quick from tipping over. I now just carbonate it then disconnect it.
- bleed valve is a necessity.
- mismatch of stainless, black al, brass, plastic looks messy.
- whole setup is small but unwieldy.
I have pin lock angled plastic and brass taps. They're just okay. The pin locks are a bit finicky and have drained kegs of gas or beer on many occasions. The metal is nice, but the incorperation of plastic makes them easier to break than I would like. I would have gone full metal, ball lock, at a right angle if it were available at the time.
On the dispensing side I started with a cheap faucet. I bought a nice handle to get more leverage opening and closing the faucet. Then I upgraded to a Perlick creamer. The creamer function is pointless but the front sealing design is SOO much better. I bought a restrictor/flow control to avoid unwanted foaming but found warm beer spoils to quick, foam isn't an issue with cold beer - I run it opened 90% of the time, and it makes the faucet stick out too far. It's chrome plated and has gotten all dinged up. I got rid of the nice handle and keep the setup in the fridge. If I were to do it again I would have gone with a basic front sealing stainless faucet.
Watching this video makes me want to revamp my setup! Metal ball lock connections, this regulator, ball lock taps.
Damn... you can't buy them in the US :(
Or the Maltzilla - just purchased a mill and I would have bought that one had it been available.
Thanks for your comment! You should be able to get some from Williams brewing or More Beer in the US
Oh man, that is brilliant! I have a couple of the garbage soda stream adapters that only have a tiny screw in the middle of it and I always lose a ton of CO2 when switching bottles. I always dread changing bottles because of this and sometimes I have to adjust the little screw in the adaptor to make it just right which means I lose even more CO2 having to try it over and over again.
I need one of those but I need one for Swedish/European soda stream threads.
These look super interesting!
These are awesome, managed to snag one in the 10 minutes they were available last time and the few preliminary tests i have done it works well with no leaks. It is bloody solid so any falls and knocks it not going to worry it
Only thing, from the factory, the bottom bushing was on really tight, i needed to put it in a vise and use a spanner to get it loose.
Thanks for the feedback, we will be sure to pass this onto our product development team. Glad you are liking the mini reg!
What thread is on the Australian sodastream cylinders? I'm in the UK but got a few of the old style cylinders with old thread type thread.
2 years later and I just installed mine same issue bottom nut really tight had to hold tight and hit spanner few times with hammer to loosen it off.😮
As a pressure reducing valve manufacturer, this video introduces in detail
Cheers! thanks.
That so super cool nice and neat takes hardly any more room
Its a great little unit! Thanks for your comment.
Jetkeg Backpack is fking gold! Takes the beer can cap to the next level.
Yeah totally. If you want to be a hero at a party get the JetKeg.
@@KegLand would it be uncouth to trade in the brewery GABs site for a roaming "site" mounted on the back of a dedicated bar/man/girl? Just striding through the crowd, picknick-tapping the fk out of patrons' glasses?
You had me at Jetkeg!
Yeah totally. If you want to be a hero at a party get the JetKeg.
Jet keg back pack - the only thing you need to pack for camping!
I recon I'd just backpack around Australia with one of those backpacks!
Wow that's awesome.
Promo code guys bloody good innovation !!!!
Thanks Billy. If we had a promo code it would be given out on our KegLand Facebook Community Group.
I want one.
Hurry up and stock ;) :p
I would have made the grub screws Alen Key though. Flat blades have a bad habit of chewing out.
Any timelines when your US Distributors will have the mini gauge products? Or when you'll begin shipping to the US on or Amazon US?
Can't wait to get one! When will these be in stock in US distributors?
Can we meet each other
Looks great🍺 Any dealers in Norway? Can’t wait😊
bit late i brought a regulator few weeks ago! would have brought the new one if i knew, nothing but trouble with the old one!
Sorry about that. This is a constant issue for us as we are quite regularly trying to increase the feature set of all our products. This unit will be a bit more expensive. So I guess at least you saved some money?
@@KegLand yeah saved some money on a product that does not function properly? sorry hard to see an upside to this.
@@jamesdurrington9589 Up until this new Mini Regulator is released that has the only mini regulator type that has ever existed. This new model isn't even in stock yet. Should be arriving in a few weeks. Even when it comes in stock we will still continue to sell the other ones too.
The current models still work but they just don't have all the features that this new model will have. Thousands of customers before you have used and continue to use the older designs. If however you have any issues with the older design you have just let us know and we will assist you in any way we can.
I have an issue refilling my 60l sodastream c02 tanl. I'm in the US and mine have the newer (type b?) threads that are more finicky. I use a 5lb co2 with the standard CGA320 valve. I have an adapter, which I got from some third party distributor off the internet, but is much like the others... brass, has a pressure release pin, TR21.4 to CGA320 adapter. I can't tell if the adapter is bad or if the brass screw that's inside it is not at the correct position, or if my 5lb's tanks valve just simply releases too much pressure... but I am having big problems getting c02 into my soda stream tanks. It seems by luck, like 1 and every 10 tries, I can get 50-100ml of co2 into the tank. BTW, I believe my tank is non-siphoned so I do hold it upside down. I also freeze my soda stream tanks before trying to refill them.
I am hoping that by using a regulator I could solve these issues. Would a regulator mean that I can control the pressure heading into the soda stream container, ensuring that I never cause the soda stream' TR21.4 pin to lock? I want a reliable refill every single time. Would buying a regulator such as this ensure that?
I am also looking into a direct connection from my soda stream to the 5lb co2 tank. I am concerned about taste, as many have reviewed that with this setup that any gas left sitting into the tube will impact the flavor of the water. Can anyone pin point as to why this bad taste happens? And perhaps to a similar set up that designs this problem out?
Got mine on order from a UK supplier 😁
Great to see they are finally getting overseas. We had a real shortage of stock for this product.
Do these actually exist? Just seems the back in stock date just keeps moving....
International shipping and manufacturing delays means that there have been delays in getting stock into Australia unfortunately.
What Duo tight fitting do I need to connect to the mini regulator so I can use an Eva hose?
just use the duotight joiner. The regulator is 1/4" (6.35mm) duotight compatible barb so you can put any of the duotight fittings on for this size.
When or where are they available on the shop?
What is the part number for this device? :)
When we be able to buy this in Australia?
Hi, looks great, where and when are these available in the UK? I can only find the old version.
do you sell co2 bulbs that can be refilled? I am going to buy a smaller keg and don't want to throw away the bulbs and was wondering if there were co2 bulbs we could recharge with our co2 bottle
Ok you have us all excited about this great regulator. How likely as you state on your website it will be available 4/15/21? Have a feeling your supply chain has been impacted by Covid-19. Would be nice if you could keep us updated so we do not keep posting the same question for over a year?
The ETAs on the product page on our website are the most accurate.
I really wanted these! Are you ever going to supply on your official store at Aliexpress? Thanks from Brazil =) big fan of your products
I am waiting for it Gustavo. BrewHeadShop is their local distributor. Let’s se if we can get it soon was re-stocked
We have a complete list of distributors on our website.
Just got this was wondering how many 8 liter bottles I can pust out with a full soda stream tank? Will be bottle conditioning before hooking them up. Cheers
can you attach this to a normal size gas cylinder?
Another great product I'll never get the chance to purchase. With the exception of the Brewzilla 35L, why is there zero distribution of Kegland products in Canada? You have Canadian distributors listed on your website but none of them actually sell any of your products.
Although this isn't one of the products in stock, cankeg.com has a bunch of Kegland items. Alot quicker than buying from their Aliexpress store.
Are you gonna make a Jet Keg Backpack for the 8L PCO35 Kegs?
That is a good idea. We probably should do that. I will take that back to the team.
Where I can buy these regulaters for Singapore sodastream Cylinders? Our local Kengland distributors do not carry these.
Have you tried contacting the distributors on this map here:
www.kegland.com.au/distributor
Sounds like you fully appreciate how O-rings work Kee, as opposed to most of the hacks flogging homebrew gear.. sigh.
Cheers! Thanks for your comment.
Do you ship to Brazil ?
How tall is the mini 360 regulator? There are no dimensions on your website. My goal is to fit a a soda stream cylinder fitted with the mini 360 regulator in a minifridge (I don't wanna drill holes because its not my fridge) to dispense from 4L oxebar kegs. I know the soda stream cylinder is about 370mm, just trying to figure out the complete overall length so I know if I have enough clearance.
It's about 80mm high.
So could we use these mini regulators in kegerators to save space using a bigger tank?
Yes you can definitely do that if you want to.
KegLand on your website it states they are not compatible with the larger tanks - does that mean the largest tank available to be used is a sodastream or can they be used with standard sized CO2 tanks? I’d like to use one as my only regulator if possible. Thanks!
7:54 for the mini-regulator
I just bought one of this and I can't find any information about if the regulator can go in the fridge when performing force carbonation. I have read that some regulators have problems with CO2 condensation while being in the fridge.
It all comes down to flow rate. If you are just carbonating one keg the reality is it will be fine but if the regulator freezes up it can hold the regulator valve pin open and cause the gas to continue to flow. The goods news is this regulator has been designed with all the high pressure components that are tolerant to liquid co2 so it will not damage the regulator and worst case scenario the PRV will open and then you just wait for the regulator to come back up to room temperature or fridge temperature. So i would advice you to just give it a go.
Make shipments to Mexico ?? or do they have a store through amazon ???
Chinese manufacturers might want to consider it
When will this be available from retailers in the US?
Williams brewing and More beer should be getting some in.
How long would one of these run the 8L kegs on a soda stream bottle? I already have soda stream in the house, and refill my own bottles from a 20lb cylinder.
Going to be building a keezer as I get back into home brewing, and I was faced with either buying another CO2 cylinder, or somehow rigging up something so my 20lb cylinder could run the keezer but also still fill my soda stream, and not be a PITA.
These regulators seem like a really good ticket. I was going to ask if you can T the CO2 output to run more than one keg on it, but the fact that it has 2 outputs answers the question for me.
Have the equipment purchased for a 2 keg keezer, but always thought it would be nice to have the ability for more, however my freezer I think will only hold 2 corny kegs.
However, the fact that I could pack the 8L PET kegs around the 2 cornys and run more taps, all while using a soda stream bottle to power it, is very intriguing.
Does a soda stream bottle have enough in it to run a 19L corny keg efficiently enough? Would you still force carbonated from a larger tank? Or can you do that with a soda stream as well?
I have only played around with the 4L kegs (like a Hendrix Keg) I can carb with one of those little 16gram CO2 cartridges and dispense with another, so thinking that a 400gram soda stream bottle could do a corny keg with no issues.
Sorry to drag up a 3yr old video, but these products are all new to me!
You'd get a couple of kegs out of it, depending
Cool stuff! Where to by from in Europe (Germany?)
We have not started to ship to Germany yet but international distributors will start getting stock in about 2-3 months from now. We always release in Australia first.
You can check this map for distributors:

I haven't been able to find a place that sells this in the US. It is available in the US and if so where? Thanks.
MoreBeer and Williams Brewing should be able to order some in from Kegland China.
4:17 PLEASE how on earth did you unscrew this bushing?? I need to replace the seal ring you mentioned flattens and wears but my bushing will not unscrew. Any tips please!
It can just be done with a spanner but just to make sure we are talking about the right part can you please email us some photos of what you are trying to do so we can confirm that you are doing the right thing.
@@KegLand yes will email. It is the same part you removed at 4:17 with the spanners, though mine will not budge. Only thing I know to try next is to put it in a vice, except I don’t have access to one at the moment.
@@KegLand yours came off without much effort in the video so I’m not sure why mine is this stuck because I’m a pretty strong man ha
Link?
Can you use these mini-regulators with 75% Co2 + 25% N2 mix (for pouring stout)?
Yes you can. They are a multi gas regulator.
@@KegLand thank you!
Are you guys going to make a smaller/shorter soda stream compatible cylinder? Would be great to have a 20L or 30L equivalent size unit to fit with the growlers in an esky
We will look into it.
Will the regulator be damaged if I do not hold the bottle upright without a shut-off valve? Is there actually a shut-off valve for SodaStream bottles?
This should really be opperated in the upright position. We have been doing testing upside down it seems to still perform fine but the issue is if gas was constantly being used at a high flow rate while upside down it could cause the regulator to fail so it's just better to use the regulator in the upright position.
@@KegLand A small shut-off valve on the side of the SodaStream bottle would be great. It could be transported in this way without having to worry about the control valve being destroyed.
@@TheAndlix We did consider this but it's also not difficult to just use the thumb screw at the top of the regulator. IF you unscrew the thumb screw the pin on the sodastream will no longer be depressed and therefore no gas will flow out of the regulator.
@@KegLand But can't the liquid gas damage the regulator membrane? Or is no membrane used?
@@TheAndlix, Unlike other regulators, this regulator uses a brass piston rather than the typical rubber diaphragm. Also if the liquid was to get into the low-pressure side of the regulator it will flash off and almost instantly turn into vapor. As we have a PRV fitted to the regulator even if the pressure builds a bit the PRV will quickly open and liquid would only get into the low-pressure side for a split second.
Have these shipped to US distibutors? Who?
Same here, in US!, Fnally I can do away with the crap mini regulator. The flexibility is just awesome!
Shades of Duke Nukem
Haha. Cheers! Thanks for your comment.
when this come back to stock ? :(
In the next few days we have another shipment released.
can I go straight to a soda bottle with this?
Yes you can go directly onto a sodastream bottle with no adaptor with this model.
No one in europ has it in stock .... only one distributor dose even list it :(
These are quite a new product. But as production ramps up, we should have more availability.
Hows this going? Can anyone get this? Haha
I want to order but couldn’t find it anywhete
If you are in Australia, you can order one through the website once we have stock.
Were can i buy this in the usa
More Beer and/or Williams brewing should be able to help you.
Which model should I get for EU sodastream bottles? KL15868 or KL20404?
Cheers 👍
KL20404. Probably. Pay for my ticket to Venice and I will investigate personally though :) KL15868 is unique to Aus/NZ
@@KegLand Thanks, I ordered KL20404 months ago now and I confirm it fits the European thread. 👍
Is it compatible with EU SodaStream cylinders?
Yes we have a model specifically for EU. Please contact our EU distributors.
Hi guys.... so now the target is June. Does anyone bet what will be the next deadline?
We have had issues recently with regards to international shipping sadly.
im from the philippines where can i order the regulator?
Best to check with a local distributor.

Hi Key Land I am Gowtham from Tamilnadu, India - I want this key and regulator setup , How can I buy this, Help me to get this as soon as possible
We have a complete list of distributors on our website.
Hey guys,
I haven't been on FB in over a year, couldn't stand the drama. Do you think you will ever use a different platform for your community forum and promo codes
Which platform do you use. We would certainly consider it.
@@KegLand not a lot available, I guess Instagram is there but not so much as a community forum. Kegland should think about hosting a forum on your site :)
@@jmgacousticmusic Thanks for that. We are looking at building a new website at the moment so I will talk to the other guys about this. Yes we should definitely have instagram as well so we will also use this more in future. Thanks for your feedback.
@@KegLand thanks guys, love your work
What's the part number?
It will be part number KL15868 but it's not on the website yet. Should be up online in the next week or so.
Who stocks in US?
Williams brewing and More beer are your best bet.
Do you actually reply on any platform? I've tried several emails, facebook, twitter, the form on your site. Impressively shite coms even for a beer based company boys.
Was this over the christmas period. We were closed and all staff were on holiday from 25th December until Monday 9th Jan. If you send us an email now at beer@kegland.com.au I am fairly confident you will get a replay soon. I was not aware we had a twitter account so this method is probably not a good choice. We do periodically check the facebook messages too but really email is preferred.
Link?
Sorry about that. We are just about to put them up on the website so we can post the link soon.
Link?
Yes it will be uploaded to the website soon and we will post the link.
