TMCRAFT 170oz Mini Keg Growler, Pressurized Stainless Steel Home Keg Kit System with Adjustable Faucet Keeps Fresh and Carbonation for Homebrew, Craft and Draft Beer

This mini keg is great. It takes about 24 hours and 2 6g CO² to carbonate the liquid inside. I use mine for vodka and soda water. Works great and it does not leak. The tap handle has a spring that self returns the valve to the off position. The tap does not drip when not in use. I also like the flow adjustment valve on the tap. The regulator gauge only goes to 30psi but I don't require any pressures higher than 30psi for what I'm using this keg for. The CO² inlet is a 3/16" thread and works great. There is no wasted gas when threading on a new cartridge. All in all the setup works great, fits in the refrigerator, is efficient and makes pouring a carbonated cocktail simple. I highly recommend you get one of these kegs.

Original: The first time I used this growler, it worked great. However, the second time and beyond, I have found that the pressure release valve will constantly leak and I am flying through CO2 cartridges. I have tried to refit it with and without teflon tape and it still leaks. Hopefully, I can figure out to get it repaired/replaced. It is a shame since it otherwise, seems like a nice growler system.UPDATE: after having this issue, the customer service team addressed my concerns and promptly shipped me a replacement connector. It has been working well without problem or leak for several batches. I have revised my rating based on their great customer service.

One feature they don't tell you in the description that it is not just for beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages! I currently have a keg of craft beer fermenting so I put my wife's diet soda in it and it keeps better than in the original bottles. I have no issues with it, only that I wish it had display of some sort that indicated how much remained in it! Kudos!!

Broken gaskets in 2 of the joints, leaks. Build quality is good.Revision: Seller contacted promptly, said will ship replacement. Replacement performs as expected. Good product.

I purchased the 170 oz Mini Keg…the quality of the parts and materials have been of top quality. The set up was easily understood. The instructions to follow was step by step allowed for no confusion …no leaks.Soon after the installation and trial run (s). I purchased a second oneKent…Houston TX

Simple to use. Everything included except CO2. Just wish the CO2 lasted longer. Only used one it could have been user error. Have some cider carbonating now. Nice and portable and easy to keep in the fridge.

So for the first 3 fills it’s been great. Super easy to force carbonate my home brew and keep it ready to go. Simple to regulate and clean, also great pours every time. My issue is that the 4th brew I put into it, it now redlines over 25 psi even when valve is turned off. When I removed the top with a full co2 cartridge inside I could hear a slight hiss that told me co2 would be entering the keg even when the regulator was not engaging the cartridge. Not sure when to get the tiny sizes oring that fits between the leg and regulator or if that would fix it, but was hoping it would last longer without problems. Still works with just a touch of over carbonation, but wastes co2 when I have to purge to pour.

The best feature is the tap. Do you see that little lever on the side? All taps should have that. It's a flow regulator. If it's coming out too fast and foaming, you can slow the flow down.I sometimes use this unit to carbonate white wine (make bubbly chardonnay) so I fill it 3/4 full, and crank up the pressure to the max, lay on its side in the fridge overnight. You lay on its side to get more surface area to let the CO2 be absorbed into the wine.To dispense, leave the pressure on high and turn down the flow rate to get bubbly white wine for family Sunday brunch. I just wish it was double-walled.
