These new PCO38 kegs are made from PET and Nylon that is blended together to get reduced oxygen and CO2 transmission rate. These new plastic kegs are perfect for sharing beer with friends or getting into home brewing.
The 8Litre and 4Litre sizes are a useful size for small batches or splitting a single batch into different keg types. - Jak na to + styl
You guys are always coming out with such great, affordable products that surpass what anyone else is doing.
Thanks for that Kiel. We really appreciate it!
@@KegLand Do something about those EU retailers that don't have anything on stock. Especially glycol chillers.
Literally just poured my first beer out of one of these, and sat down to watch something real quick when I saw this video posted. Worked great, and they fit well in my standard size fridge with some shelving left in too. Loving it.
And I'm probably going to buy a million of the 4l ones once they're available, sounds like they should work really well in an esky. Nice work.
@@MrFrosty176 Yes the 4L ones with the tapping head will be about 335mm high so you should be able to fit into quite a few different models of esky.
Really hope some of the UK suppliers pick these up soon, ideal for summer coming
Yes we hope so too. If you hassle your local distributor this will help. Some of our international distributors are a bit slow to order new product when it's released. thanks for the support!
Another great product, Kee & KegLand Team! This will come in handy when I get some brews of my own to share with friends.
Thanks for that Michael. Really appreciate the support.
You guys are seriously fantastic. I love these innovations and I love how you keep price point in mind.
Thanks for that Chase. We really appreciate the support.
revolutionizing kegging -magnificent -well done, keep these new items coming
Thanks for that Tim. We really appreciate it.
A resusable and affordable PC kegging solution! Exactly what I was waiting for!!
Yes these are really handy and I use mine all the time. Hope you enjoy using them. By the way these are PET not PC. PC contains bisphenol products such as BPA which can interfere with hormone receptors in the body so we do not use PC in these at all.
I am really impressed with the sheer number of extremely useful products y'all have managed to come out with. Now if only I could purchase half of them in the US
As a lot of the products are new and we release them in Australia first they sometimes take a good 6 months to get to America.
KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com
It's best to contact these guys directly and they can give you lead times and approximate arrival dates.
Funny. That's what I say after clicking calculate shipping on every item from US. 🙂
Well that's what I call a road soda.. That's super awesome and portable you guys are killing it!
Thanks again Bradley. I think these will be really popular and we will hopefully get these out to you i America soon.
Absolute game changer, thanks for this
yeah they certainly Are.
Just got one of these. Also great to use to wash the beer lines, etc.
Other people have said this, but you guys seem to be so far ahead of everyone else its quite impressive. I was saying to myself holding a Pet bottle the other day "It would be great if i could just have a bigger one of these instead of a 19l keg" and here it is a big plastic well designed Pet bottle keg...... well played kegland.... well played.
Thanks for that MJRR. We appreciate it. It's quite possible that we do a larger 19L kegs size soon but one difficulty we have with the larger sizes is that it's increasingly difficult to make they robust enough to handle being dropped. So the smaller 4L and 8L sizes will always handle more abuse like being dropped on the concrete while if you drop a 19L keg there is a good chance it would burst so this is our main concern.
These look like a great option for bringing homebrew to a club meeting to share!
Yes I think so. We have already sold quite a few to home brew clubs so I think they will be really popular.
Glad to have them in Canada, picked up 3 already 😊
Perfect for carbonating wine for wife.
Good choice!
Hey this looks awesome! I have a 5L stainless mini keg that barely fits into my crisper, but I'd like to get a bunch of these so I can have a range of beer/cider available on tap. I'll have to give my local distributor a kick, for the new fermenters too :) As an Aussie living abroad, your products make me proud!
Hey Trizza. We certainly have a lot of distributors in Australian and overseas now and we appreciate your support.
Just what I need to share beer with my thirsty friends. This should be a hit.
Thanks for that. We appreciate the support Ronny.
Great product! Yellow is the universal colour used to indicate a gas line 👍🏼
Yes it's a bit confusing as yellow is the colour for LPG/Propane gas. Hopefully customers do not get them confused.
I've always wanted to take beer camping but was put off with lugging my heavy 19 litre kegs and a big co2 bottle around, but these things look good, they are lite and all you need is those little co2 cannisters and some ice, not only that but they would be great for anyone getting started
Yeah these have already been quite popular and we have sold out twice. Thanks for the support Peter.
cannot wait to olbrygging gets these ty kegland for inventing all these cool things for brewing
Yes we have all the new gear going over to Olbrygging and very soon we will start shipping the 4L PCO38 kegs too.
So awsome! Cant wait for this to be available in the nordic!!
Yes we already have shipments going to Norway so you will hopefully see them soon.
@@KegLand Also to Finland and Sweden would be nice :)
Great innovation! Will get one when it is available in my country, for sure
No worries Gustavo. What country are you from?
@@keedoery587 Brazil! It will be great to daisy chain these to my corny kegs and be ready to go to a BBQ whenever needed.
Thanks for that Gustavo. We appreciate it. I think these will be really popular in south America.
I WAAAAAAAAAAAAANT , EXACTLE WHAT I WANTED, FINALLY! ALLELUIA!
Can't wait for the 4L keg to come out!
Yeah I think the 4L might end up being more popular than the 8L version.
@@KegLand any idea when it'll be available? Any availability in the US?
Very handy for camping.
Yes I will definitely be using these for camping myself.
well done you guys are worldwide leaders......
Thanks for that Eamonn. We certainly get a lot of satisfaction doing what we do. Thanks for the support.
Great product idea. Another use I could see is for specialty beers where it's hard to drink an entire keg's worth, 3 of these would allow you to pace it out somewhat....
Thanks for that Mark. Yes I think these will be really popular.
Very nice and looking forward to seeing these in the U.S.. I bought that tube cutting device to replace the use of straight razors and I must say I've used the hell out of that tube cutting tool and it is still working amazingly well, I only wish my kitchen knives would stay that sharp for that long.
I was wondering what the advantage to a pair of scissors would be?
@@heindaddel7074 2 Things - One no one ever steals it like my scissors and it cut larger and stiffer tubing perfectly without making uneven cuts that scissors or a straight razor can sometimes leave behind. It is an inexpensive and useful tool. (I'm married with kids so we have lots of scissors and they are always going missing.)
@@BitterRealityBrewing You've got a point there, scissors do tend to disappear...
Can’t wait to see these in the US as well
Thanks for your support guys. We should have these arriving to America in another 1-2 months. Hope you guys enjoy using them.
What a bottle! I want to keep it with me all the time. And keep it always full.
Haha. You are too funny.
Just got my 8L and love it. What would be cool is if there was an inner bag for the beer so I can use compressed air to push beer out.
This is something we are trying to do at the moment but it will be difficult to make this work with the PCO38 neck as the neck is quite small.
Any news?
I think you literally read my mind, was just thinking a 6l pet bottle would be perfect for testing small batches. If you can swap out the stainless weight in the filter for a neodymium magnet, and use a soft silicone tube you could use a magnet on the outside of the bottle to set the diptube at whatever level you want. Hope to see these in the U.S soon, Im going to need a few of them.
Yes that is a fair point. I will talk to the others and see what they think about using a magnet inside the keg. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully you see them in America soon.
Looks good, now you need to bring out a cooler bag/ esky that it fits into with a half bag of ice.
Yes we will do that. It's already planned to have a cooler for these.
Fantastic Idea. Such a shame they are so tall as they will not fit length ways in a standard UK fridge. I was hoping to use these instead of some mini kegs but the mini kegs are much more compact (all be it cannot fit on a shelf either). If these came out in much smaller / stubbier format they would be a great alternative.
Have you came up with a technique to close transfer a NEIPA? Of course close transferring a lightly hopped beer is easy but what if there’s heavy dry hops? How can I attach a separate dip tube to the tapping head?
Love your innovative products. Will these be available in the US?

May be video how to fill up? Looking at my. First corny keg purchase. This mighty new better alternative +
Yes this is a good idea. We will do a vide on this too soon.
Well another thing you could have done with that keg was made the handle a little stronger and a little bit longer which would stabilise The keg in the fridge and would have it on a slight angle so that it would just pick up every last bit of the 🍻 and because that handle rotates if it was too high when in use you could just turn it out the way and leave it flat
Hey Ted. Thanks for that. We will take that into consideration. We have been considering making a handle change to be honest so we will take onboard what you have suggested.
When will the 4L be back in stock? And will it be shipping to distributors in the US?
With a mini regulator, a few CO2 cartridges and a picnic tap this becomes extremely portable at a very nice price. I'd like to see a neoprene jacket designed for this, similar to the ones you have for your stainless steel mini kegs with the CO2 cartridge pockets. Looking at the dimensions this can fit into the 8-10L jacket, but this bottle is a little bit slimmer and taller than the mini kegs it was designed for. Not sure how well that would work?
Yes the 10L jackets work fine. You are right though we should probably make a custom jacket too and sell this with this 8L keg. I will put this forward to the other members of the team.
YES!
:)
What would the lifespan of one of these be in terms of refills? Would it be similar to PET fermenters? Also would a soda stream bottle work for dispensing if taking one of these on holidays? Just trying to picture it as a portable system
The lifespan all comes down to how well you look after it. If you continue to drop these PET units they will eventually fail but if you can avoid drops and scratches then they will last pretty much forever.
Can fit 6 of these in a series x and possibly 2 on the top shelf if good with the hosing etc. Have a few of these filled with Soda for the kids. 1 sodastream concentrate bottle fills the 8L keg or 2-2.5 bigfords eg gingerbeer. Just about to fill 2 with a pinapple mango lager. Could also do Ginger and dry, coctails, Burbon and coke.There nice and compact so can have another fridge filled with them. even thought of daisy chaining them?
Yes I have already done some daisy chaining of them and they work fine in that application.
great video - lots of information. Question on filling. I'm sure that I could fill it like I would a growler. But if I want to transfer from carbonated keg, can I close transfer into this through the liquid out/dip tube and filter? Is it best to use a spunding valve on the gas in ball lock with the same or slightly lower psi as transfer pressure? What else do I need to know about this transfer?
Yes you can definitely do that. I do the pressure transfers myself and also use the closed transfer process to do this with these kegs. As you have suggested you can just fill up the keg via the dip tube or alternatively through the gas outlet (best done upside down if you choose to do that.)
You have to made 20L keg like this one ❤
Be great to get these in the UK
Yes they are on the way over there now. You should contact our distributors:
www.kegland.com.au/distributor
Is it possible to get the plastic tubes from these ready kegs will be blown? Also the mold for the extruder would be nice! We would like to manufacture these 8-litre kegs here in Europe too! How many times one keg is refillable for?
Yes we would be able to sell you the preforms and you can blow this product locally in Europe if you like. No problem at all. I mean no point to ship air if you can blow the product locally in Europe.
Hi guys great product, i currently have one with stout in it and 2 others waiting for a brew. Am I able to add carbonation drops to these kegs so I only need gas to dispense? Cheers.
To work. We have more accessories that are coming out for these new 8L and 4L kegs too so stay tuned.
this product has another Very useful function.. which is: addition of clearance agent such as gelatine (or bentonite..etc) with zero Oxygen
it works as follows:
1- fill this thing with your clearing agent solution
2- pressurise to a pressure point that is above the pressure of your main fermintation vessel
3- connect it to main vessel then (vooosh).. all your clearing agent has gone to your main vessel Oxygen-free
You are absolutely right. I will give this a go. I should have mentioned this in the video too. Thanks for the tip!
When are you releasing the 4L bottle? Looked on the Chinese Kegland sites but couldn't find them.
This has already been released in Australia but we are struggling to keep up with demand. We will start to ship them over seas in the next couple months. Sorry about the wait.
I believe you mention a 4L version of the keg. Any chance those will be made? I have a number of 10L stainless kegs, so for me a cheap and quality keg in the 4L / 1 Gallon range would be perfect. I know you have the 2.5L PET bottles, but this tapping system looks awesome. I really enjoy brewing 1 gallon experimental batches, and the 4L size would be great for those or for taking along beer to an event.
The 4L version is close now. We are just going through the certification process and doing pressure testing. Once we get the tick of approval they will be released to the public. At the moment looks like this will be in about 3 months from now.
@@KegLand Still waiting!
Would this keg be suitable for bulk ageing things like Russian Imperial Stouts and Barleywines for 6-18 months?
If so I'd like to see you sell them with simple caps and not the tapping kit. (Or perhaps a PRV cap only)
I could see myself making many different batches and leaving them to cellar for quite some time.
Already got 2 of these on the way :)
The darker beers like Stout and Barleywines will not be effected anywhere near as much and would age in these kegs fine for 12 months or longer. With lighter coloured and lighter flavoured beers we would not recommend putting beer in these for more than 6-8 months.
Yes we do sell these with CAPS as standard then the Tapping Kit is normally sold separately.
Any thoughts on when this would be hitting US suppliers? I'd love to pick up a couple of these!
KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com
It's best to contact these guys directly and they can give you lead times and approximate arrival dates.
is it possible to fill it with iTap with the PET-Adapter ?
Any thoughts on what problems there may be with gravity filling the keg through the beer dispense ball lock?
Yes this will work but gravity filling this way will be slow.
Looks great
What PSI are these rated to?
And
What is the recommended life span of the bottle for its intended use?
58 psi max according to the printing on the side of the bottle. I believe one of the KL reps said there's a significant safety factor in that rating still too.
@@MrFrosty176 Yes the burst pressure is about 10 bar. We are also making further optimisations to the product so it's possible that in the future we migth be able to get the burst pressure up to 11 or 12 bar too.
How do I get these in the UK? The 4 litre version would be perfect for that bit of left over beer from a batch
It's best to contact our distributors and they can give you the arrival date.
www.kegland.com.au/distributor
Thanks for great product. Silly question, can you still drop sugar in and let the brew bottle ferment for 6 to 8 weeks? I gather you then use a Pluto gun and gas to distribute. Thought it might need less gas with this method. Cheers
Yes absolutely. You can do that if you want to. If you have a cylinder then force carbonating is really better as you end up with less yeast in the bottle but if you really want to do a secondary fermentation in the bottle then that is fine too.
@@KegLand thanks for update. Another question please, the 4 L bottles, any chance the mould might have a handle fitted?
When we can expekt the 4l ones ?
Are the 4L versions coming back? They've been out of stock for a long time.
They should be in stock in about 2 months now. Sorry about the long wait!
Australia Post's ridiculous costs cancel out the benefit of ordering these - which I'd really want. I wish you had a warehouse in a couple of capital cities :(
Yes it's possible that we put a warehouse in QLD in the future at some stage.
What will the dimensions of the 4L be? Do you anticipate doing a range of sizes/shapes? The 8L is JUST too big for my camp fridge.
If the 8L was just a bit stubbier it would be a game changer for the camp setups.
The 4L ones will be the same diameter but about half the height.
@@KegLand any word on when the 4lt will be available?
Will these be able to carbonate properly or is the pressure rated for serving only
Yes absolutely you can carbonate in these just like any stainless keg.
Trying to solve a leak issue with the head to bottle connection happening on two of my kegs. Trying not to screw down too tight as I heard thag can damage the thread. Would plummers tape be a dumb idea? Any help appreciated!
Plumbers tape is not necessary. We did have an issue with a small number of the PRV carbonation caps so I would check this first. Also we have made some changes to the lid so it should be quite difficult to damage the keg neck now from overtightening.
What is the recommended cleaning process for the bottle and tapping head between uses?
We normally give it a quick rinse with PBW and then stellarsan.
Is it possible to get adapter from PCO38 neck to PCO28 ? I have counter pressure bottle filler designed for PCO 28mm head and now I cant use it with PCO 38
The only product that does this is the PCO 38 tapping head but I assume you have already seen this one.
waiting on the 4L version
Yes these are not too far away.
Hello guys any safety pressure rating? Is it reusable? Any chemical to avoid during cleaning/sanitizing?
We use a 2.5bar PRV as standard but actually these are already rated to 4 bar.
The website says the keg is 520mm tall. How tall is it with the tapping head installed?
The tapping head adds about 30mm additional heigh to the assembly.
Hi. What do I use for cleaning and desinfeksjon
Wait, you can lay these down? Does that mean you can lay corny kegs down and dispense sideways? Great new products as always 👍👍
If you change to a floating dip tube you could.
@@bsaurusrex I've asked this question before and was told there could be issueswitb the gas Post!
yes you can lay these down and dispense sideways. This cannot be done with traditional corny kegs as they have a rigid tip tube.
@@KegLand I see, so are we saying if you use a corny keg with floating dip tube it's fine?
When this system gonna be avaliabe on the Aliexpress store? *.*
I was going to ask that too, Leandro! Hahahaha this would be a keggi killer tho...
@@gustag Yes we will make them available on Aliexpress soon but really it will be better for you to purchase from your local distributor. We have distributors in most countries now.
@@KegLand Do you have any distributor in Europe selling these right now?
@@KegLand USA availability?
@@KegLand The problem is that in Europe, they don’t have all of your products. And my local retailer in Ireland carries even less products. For instance, I can buy an All Rounder in Ireland but not the webbing or a jacket. Then the Aliexpress price for those items have crazy shipping fees in order for us to shop local, which isn’t possible.
If I was going to lie these down in the fridge what tap would you recommend to go straight on the bottle.
Thanks
We have a new Nukatap Mini and this is what I would recommend for this application. At the moment we only have Bronco taps which work ok but the new Nukatap Mini is a far better tap and should be launched later this year.
@@KegLand thanks I'll look them up
Probably a dumb question, but how much beer can you actually fit in these? how much headspace should i leave if i'm brewing in a coopers kit fermenter, bottling into this, and doing a secondary fermentation? Do i need 3 (24L) for a typical 23L brew? Thanks!
These are 8L pretty much to the top. You only have about 100ml head space when you fill to 8L.
@@KegLand thanks, but how much head space should i leave in this? is 100ml fine, or do i need to fill to 7.5l or something?
Hi. Awesome product and finally got my hands on a couple. The prvs are leaking though even as low as 1 bar... Any suggestions?
I think you might have a faulty PRV. We had about 100 of these sell about 2 months ago and I think you might have one of these 100 units that were not correctly machined. Can you please contact our customer service team regarding a replacement/
@@KegLand I'm in the same boat. I bought a kit from Ontario Beer Kegs in Canada which included 4x8L kegs and 2 tapping heads. The PRVs don't hold any pressure at all, not even 5psi.
@@blakefaulds same here
@93wingdinosar I had mine replaced by OBK and they still don't hold pressure. Super disappointing.
@@blakefaulds I've replaced the pressure release valves with an additional ball lock port and Teflon taped everything but I'm still getting a slow leak.
Is there a part number for the 4L?
The 4L is still getting manufactured. We are hoping to release this at the end of this year.
Do you have a retail seller of all your items in Europe?
Yes we do. www.kegland.com.au/distributor
It's best to check this list of distributors above.
does the yellow hand pump (you make) fit onto these? for 4L party pump style?
Yes you can use the yellow hand pump no problem.
@@KegLand doesn't fit...it fouls and can't be used
looks a lot like Keggi😀
That's intersting. I just had a look at the website. Are these being used for home brewing or for commercial beers as a one way keg?
@@KegLand Thanks i'm a huge fan of your products. Yes it's for home use, but some brewery's use for small distribution as a one way solution, or to serve beer at the bar table.
I will take 1 truckload.
Thanks for your support. Would you like us to ship some over to you? I watch your channel all the time and we have heaps of new stuff that we have launched in the past 12 months so we could probably send you a big hamper of stuff to play with.
This would be great to see Genus' review/opinion on your products
@@KegLand that would be awesome! I've honestly been super interested in PET kegs for a few years now so I am really excited to see yours (I think we did a video on dolium back in our fledgeling years) - but yes I would love to check out what else you have too and put it on the channel
Sweet, how about gas/tap options for mobility?
What do you mean a gas/tap option? We do have a new Nukatap Mini that will be released later this year.
@@KegLand yeah, I guess what I'm asking are what are the ideal bundled options to make this a portable solution for taking to, for example, a party? More around the options for connecting gas..
@@Schikitar I have hooked up using standard disconnects, Pluto gun to dispense, sodastream gas bottle with the regulator adaptor for gas, very portable!
Are these single use or can they be sanitized and reused
These are reusable.
What is the stretch tolerance of the PET material?
When at maximum working pressure the bottle will increase in size by approximately 2%
Where do I get these in the US?
KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com

Dose this come in a 5ltr version?
We will have a smaller 4L version available soon.
Sounds like a better material than you make the
Fermzilla out of ?
They are different materials for different applications. This blended PET is made for longer term storage of beer while the FermZilla is designed primarily as a fermenter so we do not recommend oxygen sensitive beers to be stored in the Fermzilla for more than a couple months.
When are your 4L PET kegs going to be in stock?
These should be in stock soon. We are making some minor improvements to the design so it's worth the wait. I think they are about 8 weeks away now.
@@KegLand thanks for the update
Can I do forced carbonation? How many psi or bars does it support?
Yes you can do forced carbonation as these kegs are good up to 3.5bar.
Good idea, but why 4L and 8L when the home brew community is used to brewing for 19L kegs? Wouldn't 5 and 10L be more useful? These are the "standard" mini-keg sizes.
We felt that 19L kegs already exist so it's best to make a few more sizes. We can make a 19L or 20L one too but in order to do this we would need to make the diameter about 26cm so we can maintain ideal blow moulding stretch ratios.
Looking forward to the 4L. This is a great idea but at 8L for my needs it’s only half as portable as a 5 gallon keg and still a lot of beer. I would love to transfer from a 5 gallon keg into a 4L or even a 2L then drop in a cooler for a day trip or camping. I’ll keep my eye on the website for the smaller version. Thanks!
Yes we are just testing these in our office at the moment. The 4L should be released very soon.
Do that fit to the fridge?
Yes these fit all the models of Kegerators that we sell.
Is there an American distributor?
yes absolutely.

Is it safe force carbonating with this PET Keg? i do shake when force carbonating...😁
Yes you can easily force carbonate in these kegs if you want to.
Hi, mine is dented when received... i inject 20 psi then 10cm long dented area come back to normal. But there is small dented at the bottom that is not come back to normal. Is is still dented. Is it ok to use it?
bring to Canada pls!!
Yes we are shipping these to Canada soon. You will probably see them in the next couple of months.
@@KegLand that's fantastic! gamechanger!
Where the hell is my 4L variant... in all seriousness, is there and ETA at all?
It will be very soon. We already have a small amount of stock but we had a bit of a breakthrough and were able to make the 4L model multilayer instead of monolayer and this will increase the oxygen barrier properties even more. This upgrade also delayed the release of the product which is why it's taken longer to finishe. Now that we have cracked the multilayer process we will also eventually implement this in the 8L preform too.
Working pressure?
We have a certified these t 4bar. The burst pressure is about 10bar.
Available in the US?

Amateur here. How do I fill, carbonate, pour and clean. What other equipment is required. Is there another video?
Yes we will have to make another video on cleaning carbonating and filling. The tapping kit can go into your dish washer. With the keg itself you can just wash out with PBW and sanitise with Stellarsan.
What if no PBW? Any suggestion? Shake it with dish soap?
Great product ,but... as for international consumer it will be still expensive to ship🤨 dont get me wrong I love your concept ,unless if you could ship them in 4 bulk or more in one box it will help with the shipping
We will be shipping full container loads to other countries soon so if you contact your local Kegland distributor they will be cheaper than us shipping to you from China or Australia. I should also say that if you have a bit group of home brewers in your particular country then we can assist your local distributor setting up a local blow moulding facility and therefor avoid the expensive freight.
Oi nah let’s swap out that filter for a mini floating dip tube then we use it for mini batches of pressure fermented brews
Yes you can do that but really we prefer larger opening for fermenters so you can get your hand in and clean it more thoroughly. It can be used as a keg but the small openening is not ideal.
Are they reusable?
Yes absolutely!
