Has anyone tested the compatability of these kegs with one of the mini kegerators such as the Krups b90 or the Edge Star system?

I have a beer tender and I am going to test it in the next week. I will post my results the n.

We use ours with or Edge Star system we haven't had problems with the co2 but we do have problems keeping it cold enough.

I am using it withe the edgstar, I have been having difficulties keeping my c02 working. I am not sure if it is from the Keg or my cartridge. My co2 has been leaking.

No clue, but I doubt it. That unit just seemed cheapo in construction and never worked right. I've been using a used old-school Krups I snagged off eBay for ~$20 after returning the new one -- works like a champ!

I'm no sure, I just used plastic tubing and set the pressure of the keg to about 3-5 psi and it worked great!

The box I received had two same size kegs. No tapping gear is needed and they can be used right away. These are not normal sized beer kegs so don't expect you're going to use them in that fashion. They are like a keg of beer you might find in your local grocery store.

Yes and no.. Yes it will work to connect to a standard beer keg, and it will dispense beer in the refrigerator door, but you will also need a CO2 regulator to connect this item to a CO2 tank. Secondly there really are no instructions, as I remember, with this item but there should be some YouTube videos to show you how. Or perhaps emal the seller. Anyway I liked the kit and the price.

Hey Mark, I changed out my tap tower for a dual perlick set up. I just asked my friend. He has the same kegerator and he says he has a Sam Adams Seasonal tap on it. So I am thinking the answer is yes.

No, they would not fit. Made for a different brew system so are a different shape.

Mike F. DO NOT BUY THEM!!! I had to buy all new from MicroMatic & they are worth the extra $$$$. All I had was wasted CO2 tanks at the brewery, all in all set me back a few hundred dollars on CO2. These keg couplers are horrible!!!!

Well, there's a lot more to I than just hooking it up. If you have a kegerator, it would simply just on on top and run the hoses through. If you have a bar, you would have to drill through the top for the hoses, then mount the tap over the hole, which is what i did. Then drilled through my mini fridge where my two 5 gallon keg are so I can hook them up. I also depends if you're using ball lock heads or a tap for a standard size keg, which you simply would just need the appropriate attachment to hook the hoses to.

There are three types of mini-keg I know of 1) 5l-Heineken - Top hole - has it own built in co2 and pours from the top (these can't be refilled) 2) 5l-Mini-keg - with hole on top ( these can be used for home brewing - will need the accessory kit) 3) 5l-Mini-keg - with hole on top and pour spout on the side - will need the accessory kit) Number 2, I got one from a friend he got from Germany, but I don't see these for sale in the US. Number 3 with beer in them - If you are lucky, you can find these in some stores with beer in them like Paulaner, I was able to get one for about $18. Number 3 with no beer in them - You can get then on Amazon for about $19, lol yes it cost more than with no beer. There are two types of bungs that you can use on number 2, and 3, the ones that you can use in your EdgeSTAR accessory kit, it has the hole in the center of the bung ring., The other bung is used outside of the EdgeStar when you want to take it to a friend's house, this bung has a twist open to let the air in so you can open the side spout and pour a beer. This is the one that comes on a Paulaner mini-keg.

Yes. I modified mine and made it single tier, it holds 3:16 gallon pots, it would hold 3 kegs easily.

I have a 15.5 gallon keg with the top cut off. I have brewed a 12 gallon batch in it before with a 13 gallon start volume, had no issues at all. No flexing etc.

Off the top of my head, Id say no, but I dont have any experience with quarter barrel kegs. I know my cornies have about an inch or two between the compressor hump and the cut out door. What is the diameter of a quarter barrel keg?

David, I use 2.5 gal mini kegs and this charger will empty two kegs with one 16 gram cartridge.My taps are mounted directly to the liquid quick connect with no lines used so pressure is not an issue. When the flow gets weak, I pull the trigger a couple times to give it some more gas. I like them, no leaks and the control is good. I hope this helps.

We've got a nice place here in town that also has the 5 L minikegs. Warsteiner, Einbecker, Paulaner, etc. But I've noticed that they are rather different design of keg than the heineken. Do those gravity pour mini kegs still work in the BeerTender?I can't really stomach heineken, but if these other minikegs will work in it I'm sold.

I purchased a double tap tower. My kegerator will only fit one full size keg but I use it to hook up two 5 gallon kegs and just rest it on the ledge at the back of the kegerator.

Depends on the fridge. Dimensions of a corny keg are 23"x9". But you may need 25" for keg connection clearance.
