Keg Types

Series X User Guide | Different Keg Types

Different Keg Types

When setting up a kegerator system at home, it is important to understand the differences between the two main types of keg on the market.

The different kegs require different gas and beer line fittings inside the kegerator. Other components of the kegerator (taps, font etc) are interchangeable. The way in which the beer line and gas line is attached to the keg is the main point of difference.

We divide kegerators into two types: setups and setups. Kegs in both types are available in multiple sizes.

It is possible to mix and match keg styles in the one kegerator, provided the kegs are small enough to fit. Simply use the correct connection (coupler or ball lock disconnects) on ach beer and gas line to allow this.

For example, you may wish to have a on tap, as well as in a 19L keg. In that case, one beer/gas line would be terminated with an A Type Coupler, and the other would have a gas and a liquid ball lock disconnect.

Guide to Homebrew/Cornelius Kegs & Disconnects

Series X User Guide | Homebrew/Cornelius Kegs & Disconnects

Cornelius (Homebrew) Kegs

There are two different styles of Cornelius kegs: Ball Lock and Pin Lock. Pin Lock kegs are not really in common use now. Any Cornelius style kegs purchased from KegLand will have Ball Lock fittings.

Ball Lock fittings can be identified by the posts on the keg or tapping head and require the use of Ball Lock Disconnects:

There are several types of Ball Lock keg available, including standard stainless 19L and 9.5L Cornelius Kegs, stainless Mini Kegs and also OXEBAR kegs in 20L, 8L and 4L sizes. If using Mini Kegs or 4L or 8L OXEBAR Kegs you will also need a ball lock tapping head.

To carbonate and dispense from a homebrew style keg you will need to use disconnects. These come in two different categories which are specific for ball-lock or pin-lock kegs. Balllock kegs require ball-lock disconnects and pin-lock kegs require pin-lock disconnects

Each keg requires a liquid disconnect (black) and a gas disconnect (grey). Due to the design of the posts on the keg a liquid disconnect can only be used on the black liquid (OUT) post and a gas disconnect can only be used on the grey gas (IN) post.

Inserting EVABarrier hose into duotight fittings

Before connecting EVABarrier to duotight push fittings, ensure that the EVABarrier is cut at a straight and clean right angle using a sharp utility knife or (ideally) a KL07689 Tube Cutter

If the EVABarrier has been used previously, it is a good idea to cut off 20mm or so as the end may be marred from the teeth in a duotight collet.

Gen 3 duotight fittings are marked with a depth indicator. You can hold the EVABarrier against the fitting up to the line and make a small mark to ensure you have fully inserted the EVABarrier into the duotight fitting. The EVABarrier must be inserted deeply enough that it is engaged by both internal o-rings - approximately 22mm.

Once inserted, pull on the EVABarrier to ensure it is secure. If it comes out easily please follow the above steps again to ensure a good, tight, secure fit.

Removing EVABarrier Hose from duotight fittings

To remove EVABarrier from a duotight fitting, push down on the collet of the duotight fitting. The correct sized notch in a 7 in 1 tool is ideal for this as the collet needs to be held down concentrically.

While holding the collet down, simultaneously pull the EVABarrier out of the fitting.

Once the hose is removed cut the burred end off with a tube cutter or Stanley knife to produce a clean straight cut, this aids with forming an airtight seal.

Font Kit Assembly

Series X User Guide | Font Kit Assembly

KegLand Kegerators can be configured with different font and tap options.

Depending on the kegerator, you can have from 1 - 8 taps, or possibly more with the Grand Deluxe range.

Fonts and taps can also have different configurations - you may chose standard stainless NukaTaps, the black Stealth Bomber NukaTaps or possibly you need Flow Control NukaTaps (if serving highly carbonated beverages, for example)

Fonts can be a standard tower configuration, a tee bar or a super slim tee bar type.

All KegLand Font Kits (as opposed to Font Only) include beer and gas line, shanks and duotight connectors (where necessary), standard black tap handles for NukaTaps and all required beer and gas line, as well as tee pieces to split the gas line as needed. A 7 in 1 tool for easy font and shank assembly is also required. The exact inclusions depend on the type of font and number of taps - please refer to the product page for the font kit for details.

Quadruple Tap Font Kits

Remove the cap from the top of the font and attach the font to the top of the kegerator using four metric M5 stainless steel screws. The mounting points can be found on the inside of the font and can be attached using a long screwdriver, bit extender or flexible drill bit
Feed the length of 4mmx8mm EVABarrier beer line through the tap hole on the front of the font and feed the 4mmx8mm EVABarrier beer line through the slimline nut and convex collet on the inside of the font. For a guide to getting the correct length for beer line refer to Balancing Lines & CO2 Pressure
Push a 6.5mm x 8mm reducer onto the back of the duotight compatible short shank. NOTE: duotight collets are colour coded to represent the appropriate EVABarrier tubing diameter. 6.35mm collets are green, 8mm are black and 9.5mm are blue
Attach duotight reducer to short shank
Feed the tail and thread of the duotight compatible short shank through the tap hole and align the curvature of the shank and the concave collet with the curvature of the font
Push each length of beer line into the 6.5mm x 8mm reducer which is attached to a short shank
Tighten the slimline nut onto the thread of the duotight compatible short shank to secure the shank to the font tower.
Repeat for all other duotight compatible short shanks and beer lines
Feed the beer lines from the duotight compatible short shanks into the kegerator

Leak & Pressure Testing

Series X User Guide | Leak & Pressure Testing

Important

Performing a CO2 leak test is important to ensure that your system will hold pressure and that there are no leaks in any connections in the system.

If there are any leaks this can result in the CO2 cylinder becoming empty in a short period.

Initial pressure testing can be performed in two different ways. If leaks are detected an Isolation Test can help determine the location of he leak.

Method 1 - Pressure Decay Test

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Set the pressure on the CO2 regulator to 20psi. Wait for the empty keg to fill with CO2 to 20psi to ensure the system is properly pressurised

Turn CO2 cylinder valve off

Once pressurised, turn the valve handle on the CO2 cylinder clockwise until the valve is turned off

Check Pressure

Wait for at least two hours then check the pressure reading on the right hand (low pressure) gauge of the regulator

If the pressure reading has not changed (so is still reading ~20psi) then there are no leaks in the system

If the pressure has dropped a noticeable amount then it is very likely there is a leak in the system. Use Method 2 - Detergent Bubble Test to locate the leak. Note: Even if this test is passed it is quite a good idea to perform this test in any case

Method 2 - Detergent Bubble Test

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Set the pressure on the CO2 regulator to 40-50psi. Wait for the empty keg to fill with CO2 to ensure the system is properly pressurised. Note: We use a higher pressure in order to make any leaks easier to detect. Ensure there is no beer in the keg as it may become over-carbonated

Check For Leaks

Using a soapy water solution (washing up liquid and water is perfect for this) in a spry bottle or simply dabbed on, check for leaks at all connections. The soapy water spray will slowly bubble if there are any leaks.

Connections to check include:

• The connection between the CO2 cylinder and the regulator • All duotight connections including the 8mm x FFL duotight connected to the regulator, ball lock disconnects and keg coupler, the 6.5mm x 8mm duotight reducers connected to the short shanks and the 8mm duotight tee pieces • Around ball lock disconnects and keg couplers when they are connected to the keg • Around the lid of a Cornelius keg • Make sure to remove the ball lock disconnects from the posts of the ball lock keg and check the post itself for leaks

IMPORTANT: Do not spray any duotight fittings with StellarSan or phosphoric acid solution to perform a leak test.

Perform a Pressure Decay Test

Once any leaks have been located and fixed, perform another Pressure Decay Test to ensure that the system holds pressure

Isolation Test

If any CO2 leaks are detected, if can be helpful to perform an Isolation Test to determine where the leak is in the system

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Set the pressure on the CO2 regulator to 20psi. Wait for the empty keg to fill with CO2 to 20psi to ensure the system is properly pressurised

Isolate System

Once the system is pressurised, isolate each part of the system.

Turn valve of CO2 cylinder fully off.
Fully unwind the (anti clockwise) the regulator knob
Remove Gas Disconnect from the keg
(If using) Remove Gas Disconnect from gas inlet of kegerator
(If possible) Weigh the CO2 cylinder
Wait at least 12 hours

Test System

After at least 12 hours, if there is a leak in the system we can determine roughly where the leak is after isolating

If the weight of the CO2 cylinder has gone down noticeably, the cylinder possibly has a leak
If the pressure on the regulator has gone down, the regulator, gas line or fittings may have a leak
Test the keg(s) by pulling the PRV. If no CO2 is released then the keg may have a leak.
Once the general location of the leak has been determined by isolation testing, perform a Detergent Bubble Test in order to locate the leak precisely.

NOTE: It is safe to submerge duotight fittings and EVABarrier in water when locating leaks. Regulators cannot be safely immersed

Series 4 User Guide | Preparation & Setup

Installation & Setup

Preparation

Remove and check all items from inside the kegerator

Remove any protective film and tape from the kegerator

Inspect kegerator for any damage that may have incurred in transit including liquid or oil marks inside packaging. If any damage is noted contact your retailer

Castor Wheels Installation

Make sure the kegerator is empty

Carefully lay the kegerator on its side on a soft surface such as carpet, cardboard or a towel. NOTE: Ensure the kegerator is tipped onto the right hand side (as seen from the front). Tipping the kegerator towards the inlet side of the compressor will decrease the chance of oil migrating into refrigerant line which can cause cooling and noise issues

Unscrew the feet from the base of the kegerator

Remove the screws in the base of the kegerator in each corner. These are pre-installed screws that are used to mount the castor wheels. NOTE: These can be quite tight from the factory. A 5/16" socket or wrench will allow more leverage than a Philips driver if required

The two locking castor wheels should be installed towards the front of the kegerator

Position the kegerator back upright and leave for a minimum 1 hour before turning it on to allow the refrigerant gas to settle. If installing the castors shortly after receiving the kegerator, leave the kegerator upright for a minimum of 24 hours before turning it on

NOTE: The screw holes may be filled with foam and have a foil covering. If this is the case push and thread the screws through the foam or foil. The screw will then catch on the thread allowing it to be screwed in completely

Chrome Plated Guard Rail Installation

Position the guard rail so the feet line up with the holes in the top of the kegerator

Push the feet of the railing firmly into the holes

CO2 Cylinder Bracket Installation (optional)

Align the four holes in the bracket with the four studs on the back of the kegerator

Insert the studs into the holes and then push the bracket down firmly to secure it

Installing Regulator onto the CO2 Cylinder

KL07429 MK4 Regulator

Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise

Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and there is a nylon regulator washer between the type 30 nut and stem and the CO2 cylinder

Hand tighten the nut and stem onto the CO2 cylinder then tighten further with a 7 in 1 tool or a suitable wrench

KL30670 MK5 Regulator

Ensure the CO2 cylinder is off by turning the cylinder valve handle clockwise

Ensure the regulator dial is completely unscrewed and there is a nylon regulator washer between the type 30 nut and stem and the CO2 cylinder

Hand tighten the nut and stem onto the CO2 cylinder using the knurled grip. MK5 Regulators can be hand tightened due to the new spigot seal design that easily compresses

Attach 8mm EVABarrier gas line to the Regulator

KL07429 MK4 Regulator

The MK4 regulator comes as standard with a KL06880 8mm x FFL duotight fitting

Thread the KL06880 duotight fitting onto the regulator by hand, then tighten gently with a 7 in 1 tool or a suitable wrench. NOTE: DO not over tighten as this may cause the duotight fitting to split

Ensure the end of 8mm EVABarrier is free of burrs and is a clean, 90° cut

Push the line firmly into the KL06880 duotight fitting, ensuring it is inserted up to the line as marked on the fitting (approx. 22mm)

KL30670 MK5 Regulator

The MK5 regulator comes as standard with an 8mm duotight ball valve and integrated check valve

Ensure the end of 8mm EVABarrier is free of burrs and is a clean, 90° cut

Push the line firmly into the duotight fitting, ensuring it is inserted fully (approx.22mm)

Ensure the ball valve is opened before using the MK5 Regulator

Feed the 8mm EVABarrier gas line into the Kegerator

Unscrew one of the caps on the back of the Series X and feed the EVABarrier gas line through the hole

Setup Font, Taps and Beer line(s)

Please refer to the Font Assembly for a detailed guide on the different types of fonts

Leak & Pressure Testing

Series 4 User Guide | Leak & Pressure Testing

Important

Performing a CO2 leak test is important to ensure that your system will hold pressure and that there are no leaks in any connections in the system.

If there are any leaks this can result in the CO2 cylinder becoming empty in a short period.

Initial pressure testing can be performed in two different ways. If leaks are detected an can help determine the location of he leak.

Method 1 - Pressure Decay Test

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Set the pressure on the CO2 regulator to 20psi. Wait for the empty keg to fill with CO2 to 20psi to ensure the system is properly pressurised

Turn CO2 cylinder valve off

Once pressurised, turn the valve handle on the CO2 cylinder clockwise until the valve is turned off

Check Pressure

Wait for at least two hours then check the pressure reading on the right hand (low pressure) gauge of the regulator

If the pressure reading has not changed (so is still reading ~20psi) then there are no leaks in the system

Method 2 - Detergent Bubble Test

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Check For Leaks

Connections to check include:

IMPORTANT: Do not spray any duotight fittings with StellarSan or phosphoric acid solution to perform a leak test.

Perform a Pressure Decay Test

Once any leaks have been located and fixed, perform another Pressure Decay Test to ensure that the system holds pressure

Isolation Test

If any CO2 leaks are detected, if can be helpful to perform an Isolation Test to determine where the leak is in the system

Connect System

Attach all disconnects to an empty keg. If there is liquid in the keg this will give a poor reading as CO2 will become absorbed into solution

Set Pressure

Set the pressure on the CO2 regulator to 20psi. Wait for the empty keg to fill with CO2 to 20psi to ensure the system is properly pressurised

Isolate System

Once the system is pressurised, isolate each part of the system.

Turn valve of CO2 cylinder fully off.
Fully unwind the (anti clockwise) the regulator knob
Remove Gas Disconnect from the keg
(If using) Remove Gas Disconnect from gas inlet of kegerator
(If possible) Weigh the CO2 cylinder
Wait at least 12 hours

Test System

After at least 12 hours, if there is a leak in the system we can determine roughly where the leak is after isolating

If the weight of the CO2 cylinder has gone down noticeably, the cylinder possibly has a leak
If the pressure on the regulator has gone down, the regulator, gas line or fittings may have a leak
Test the keg(s) by pulling the PRV. If no CO2 is released then the keg may have a leak.
Once the general location of the leak has been determined by isolation testing, perform a in order to locate the leak precisely.

NOTE: It is safe to submerge duotight fittings and EVABarrier in water when locating leaks. Regulators cannot be safely immersed

Adjusting the Set Point Temperature

To adjust the Set Point Temperature:

Press and hold the Up button for 5 seconds. The display will flash and show the current Set Point Temperature. This is a Child Safety Lock feature to prevent accidentally changing the Set Point Temperature.
Press the Up or Down buttons to modify and save the Set Point Temperature. When the display stops flashing the new Set Point Temperature will be saved.

NOTE: The Up or Down buttons must be pressed repeatedly to change the temperature. The temperature will not continue to change if the button is held down - this is a child lock feature.

Change Display between Celsius and Fahrenheit

To change the displayed temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit press the °F/°C button. Press it again to revert to the previous units.

Fan Operation

The fan is designed for continuous operation. This will help maintain a consistent temperature. In addition, directing the font fan conduit inside the font can assist with keeping the taps and beer lines cold, which helps to minimise 'first beer foam' issues. If desired the fan can be turned on and off manually using the Fan Button. When the fan is on, the fan icon will be displayed.

Temperature Calibration

If there is a large variance between the displayed temperature (IE the temperature of the internal temperature probe and the actual internal temperature of the kegerator (as measured by a calibrated thermometer) then the Temperature Offset can be adjusted from -10°C to 10°C

A Temperature Offset will offset the displayed temperature by the entered amount.

Thus, if the displayed temperature is 2°C but the actual internal temperature is 4°C, an offset of +2°C is required.

Note: In most cases this is not necessary to be adjusted. There will be minor temperature differences in the kegerator due to airflow etc.

To Adjust the Offset

Press and hold the Up and Down buttons for approx 5 seconds - until the display flashes SC
Once the display flashes SC, release the Up or Down buttons and press the °F/°C button. This will display the current Offset Temperature (which should be 0°)
Press the Up or Down buttons to modify the Temperature Offset (from 10°C to -10°C)
Once the desired value is displayed it will be saved after the display stops flashing (approx. 5 seconds)
The display will revert to the current kegerator temperature. This will be different to the value displayed before the offset adjustment was made if the operation was performed correctly.

Cleaning Kegerator

The exterior of the kegerator can be cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth and a mild spray cleaner. Stainless polish may be used on stainless surfaces (such as fonts etc). or solutions may also be used instead.

Monitor the evaporator plate (at the back of the kegerator on top of the compressor). In normal use this should not be filled with water as the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate normal levels of water. If there is excessive water in the evaporator plate or it is overflowing please refer to

The interior of the kegerator may be cleaned in the same manner. It is not uncommon for some mould to be present inside the kegerator due to the nature of use. If present, clean with a mild mould remover spray and a damp microfibre cloth. Be careful to not get mould spray on any fittings such as keg posts or disconnects.

Keg Types

KegLand Undercover / Build In / Semi-Integrated Kegerator | Keg Types

Different Keg Types

When setting up a kegerator system at home, it is important to understand the differences between the two main types of keg on the market.

We divide kegerators into two types: Commercial (Brewery Made) Kegerator setups and Homebrew Kegerator setups. Kegs in both types are available in multiple sizes.

For example, you may wish to have a TALOS keg of craft beer on tap, as well as on demand soda water in a 19L keg. In that case, one beer/gas line would be terminated with an A Type Coupler, and the other would have a gas and a liquid ball lock disconnect.

Choose the type of connector used to see how to set each gas line up

Guide to Commercial Kegs & Couplers

KegLand Undercover / Build In / Semi-Integrated Kegerator | Commercial Kegs & Couplers

Prior to attaching the keg coupler onto the keg make sure that a gas line is connected to the gas inlet and this gas line is connected to a regulator and a beer line is connected to the liquid outlet and this beer line is connected to a tap. Attaching the keg to the keg coupler is usually the last step of the kegerator setup.

A-Type Keg Coupler

Slide the keg coupler over the groove on the top of the keg then firmly depress the handle to tap the keg. NOTE: To fit a 50L keg with an A-type keg coupler into a kegerator or if your keg is a DIN style keg (tall skinny style) you will need to use a KL00390

D-Type and S-Type Couplers

Push the coupler into the opening of the spear and then rotate firmly clockwise to attach the coupler to the spear. Then firmly depress the handle to tap the keg.

More detailed instructions on how to assemble and operate a keg coupler can be seen in this video:

Inserting EVABarrier hose into duotight fittings

Before connecting EVABarrier to duotight push fittings, ensure that the EVABarrier is cut at a straight and clean right angle using a sharp utility knife or (ideally) a KL07689

If the EVABarrier has been used previously, it is a good idea to cut off 20mm or so as the end may be marred from the teeth in a duotight collet.

Once inserted, pull on the EVABarrier to ensure it is secure. If it comes out easily please follow the above steps again to ensure a good, tight, secure fit.

NOTE: duotight collets are colour coded to represent the appropriate EVABarrier tubing diameter. 6.35mm collets are green, 8mm are black and 9.5mm are blue

Removing EVABarrier Hose from duotight fittings

While holding the collet down, simultaneously pull the EVABarrier out of the fitting.

Once the hose is removed cut the burred end off with a tube cutter or Stanley knife to produce a clean straight cut, this aids with forming an airtight seal.

Using Ball Lock DIsconnects with Commercial Couplers

KegLand Commercial Couplers are supplied with duotight fittings that make connecting EVABarrier gas and beer line quite easy.

However, if you plan on switching couplers or wish to use an alternative connection method that allows a bit more customisation, we recommend replacing the duotight fittings with Ball Lock Posts. When adding Ball Lock Posts to a coupler setup, it is recommended to also add a KL00390 which will make it easier to fit a 50L keg.

You will also need a KL00840 and a KL00833 which will replace the duotight fittings on the coupler and allow you to use Ball Lock Disconnects on the beer and gas line instead

Troubleshooting

Grand Deluxe 3 | Troubleshooting

Beer is too frothy or no beer pours when the tap is opened

Check that the pressure on the regulator is set to the correct PSI and that the keg is beer is not over carbonated. If the beer is over carbonated release the pressure in the keg by pulling on the pressure relief valve and then set the regulator to the correct PSI. Typically for most beers in a short draw system around 10-12psi will give a good pour
If the beer line is too short then it can pour with too much froth, consider increasing the length of your beer line. KL06224 4mm x 8mm EVABarrier will normally pour well at around 1.8-2m
If the beer contains a lot of hop matter there could be hop matter stuck in the liquid dip tube or liquid post of the keg. To check for and fix this, release the pressure in the keg by pulling on the pressure relief valve. Remove the liquid post using the correct sized wrench/spanner. Remove the liquid dip tube and ensure no hop matter is blocking the dip tube or the post

Kegerator is not cooling to the set temperature

If you are in a very hot environment remove the font tube(s) from the font tower and instead direct it into the kegerator to improve air flow throughout the fridge. This is because of ‘heat ingress’ into the system
Place a jug of water in the fridge and measure the temperature of the water after 12 hours in the fridge to determine if the thermostat is reading the correct temperature. If this needs to be adjusted please refer to Temperature Calibration
Inspect inside the fan housing for ice build up. If there is visible ice build up run a manual defrost cycle by pressing theManual Defrost Button for more than 2 seconds to start a defrost cycle manually. The Grand Deluxe range are commercial kegerators with very powerful compressors. It is quite common to need to manually adjust the default Defrost Interval and Length settings to suit the conditions. Periodically inspect inside thew compressor housing for ice build up and increase the durtation cycle of the Defrost as required to prevent ice build up.

FermZilla All Rounder 30L & 60L User Guide

KL15189 | KL15196 | FermZilla All Rounder 30L & 60L | User Guide

Introducing the FermZilla All Rounder

The FermZilla All Rounder is the perfect fermentation vessel that can be used for fermenting under pressure, carbonating and dispensing. It's far more capable than the FermZilla Flat bottom but it's less complicated and less expensive than the Gen3 FermZilla Tri-Conical.

Just like the name says - this is the All Rounder!

Easy to Clean This fermenter is made from super smooth PET so it's easy to clean. Just use a small scoop of StellarClean (Powerful Brewery Wash) and wipe it clean after a 5 minute soak. No scrubbing necessary!

Large 120mm Opening The opening at the top is much larger then the older Snub Nose or other similar fermenters. This bad boy has a 120mm opening so even brewers with large arms can easily get into the top making cleaning even easier.

Pressure Rated This fermenter is rated up to 2.5bar so you can force carbonate just like a keg. You can use this fermenter for closed transfers and significantly reduce oxygen exposure.

Crystal Clear The wall of the All Rounder is crystal clear so you can see what's going on inside. This means you can see exactly what is happening at all stages during fermentation, which is a massive boon for new and experienced brewers!

Impermeable The PET plastic is not permeable like some other fermenters made from PP or HDPE. The fermenter wall is a much better gas barrier keeping your product fresher for longer, and will massively cut down on the potential for oxidation or infection

Brew with confidence in the new Tri-Clover FermZilla Range.

Beer is not pouring or not pouring well

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

Pouring too quickly

Beer Line may be too short. Please refer to for a guide to recommended lengths for beer line of various diameter

CO2 pressure may be too high. Most short draw kegerator systems and beers are served at approx. 10-12psi. Please refer to this for more info

Beer may be over-carbonated. The keg will need to be de-carbonated by reducing excess CO2 pressure. Refer to to fix over-carbonated beer

Pouring too slowly

CO2 pressure may be too low. Most short draw kegerator systems and beers are served at approx. 10-12psi. Please refer to this for more info

Beer Line may be too long. Please refer to for a guide to recommended lengths for beer line of various diameter

Beer may not be fully carbonated. Leave the keg hooked up to CO2 until full carbonation is achieved.

Beer is too foamy/frothy

Beer may be over-carbonated. The keg will need to be de-carbonated by reducing excess CO2 pressure. Typically most beers in a short draw system are served at approx. 10-12psi. Refer to to fix over-carbonated beer

Beer Line may be too short. Please refer to for a guide to recommended lengths for beer line of various diameter

The beer lines may be frozen. If the beer line comes in contact with the cold plate in the fridge it can partially freeze the beer in the line. This creates turbulence in the line which can cause excess foam. Ensure the beer lines are not in contact with the cold plate.

Beer may be too warm. Increase the Set Point of the kegerator or leave the keg in the kegerator until it is fully chilled

Beer does not have enough head

Beer may not be fully carbonated. Leave the keg hooked up to CO2 until full carbonation is achieved. Please refer to this for more info

Beer Line may be too long. Please refer to for a guide to recommended lengths for beer line of various diameter

Beer may be too cold.

(Homebrew) Beer may not have much head. Not all beer styles produce a lot of head - this may be due to the grist of the particular brew or possibly a brewing technique affected the head

No beer comes out of tap

Lines or connections may be blocked. If the beer contains a lot of hop matter there could be hop matter stuck in the liquid dip tube or liquid post of the keg. To fix this, release the pressure in the keg by pulling on the PRV. Remove the liquid post with a socket or spanner. Remove the liquid dip tube and ensure no hop matter is blocking the dip tube or the post

The beer lines may be frozen. If the beer line comes in contact with the cold plate in the fridge it can freeze the beer in the line and partially or completely block the flow. Ensure the lines do not come into contact with the cold plate

CO2 cylinder may be empty. If there is insufficient CO2 to pressurise the head space of the keg then beer will not pour. Replace or refill the CO2 cylinder if empty

Keg may be frozen. If the Set Point is too low or there is an issue with the temp probe calibration, the keg(s) may freeze. Check and correct the and Set Point of the kegerator

Beer is too warm

Kegerator may not be cold enough. Check and of the kegerator. 2°C is typically the correct temperature to achieve a good pour

Keg may not be cold enough. Leave the keg in the kegerator until it is fully chilled. This can take up to 24 hours (for example) with a room temperature 50L keg

Kegerator may need calibrating. Check the actual internal temperature of the kegerator. If this is much higher than the indicated temperature then perform to ensure the correct temperature is maintained

Font not cool enough. Direct the Font Fan tubing to the top of the font. Cut the Font Fan tubing to the correct length. Cut the tubing at a 45° angle to ensure it remains unobstructed. Ensure the fan is turned on

Gas Issues & Gas Leaks

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

CO2 Cylinder is empty

Cylinder may be used up. It takes approx 6g of CO2 to dispense 1L of beer at normal serving pressure. Thus, a 2.6kg CO2 cylinder will dispense approx. 8 x 50L kegs. More CO2 will be used if also carbonating the kegs. Refill the CO2 cylinder when empty

Possible Gas Leak. Perform an to check for potential CO2 leaks

Kegerator cooling issues

Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

Kegerator not cooling to set point temperature

Insufficient clearance. A minimum of 100mm clearance is required on each side of the kegerator to ensure adequate heat dissipation for the condensers. Move the kegerator into open space to improve cooling efficiency

Ice build up. If there is visible ice build up on the cold plate this will act as an insulator and prevent the cavity of the kegerator from cooling properly. Defrost the kegerator by turning it off until the ice has melted. Note: Do not try to remove the ice physically as this may damage the refrigerant lines and is not covered under warranty

Door left open/not closed properly. If the door is not properly closed or misaligned the kegerator may not cool adequately. Ensure the door is closed and aligned properly

Not calibrated properly. If the kegerator is not cooling adequately but the compressor is cycling at the Set Point temperature the kegerator may require .

Hot environment. If you are in a very hot environment remove the font tube from the font tower and instead direct it into the kegerator to improve air flow throughout the fridge. This is because of ‘heat ingress’ into the system

Kegerator is too cold

Set Point temperature may be incorrect. . For best results set this to 2°C. Setting too low a temperature may cause freezing or performance issues

General Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

Sides of kegerator are extremely warm

This is normal. The heat generated during refrigerant cooling is radiated from the left and right hand side of the kegerator. During normal operation these can get quite warm/hot. This is typically more apparent when the kegerator is cooling from ambient (so the compressor will be working harder and for longer). NOTE: It is vital that this unit has a minimum of 100mm clearance on each side for adequate cooling performance

Cannot adjust Set Point Temperature

Child Lock engaged. These have a built in Child Lock. , press and hold the Warmer button for 5 seconds until the display flashes (the displayed number is the current Set Point)

Excessive noise from fan

Ice build up. If there is visible ice build up there is likely also ice in the fan housing. The fan lades will hit this when spinning causing excessive noise. Defrost the kegerator by turning it off until the ice has melted. Note: Do not try to remove the ice physically as this may damage the refrigerant lines and is not covered under warranty

Black substance under cold plate

This is excess insulation. This is not uncommon in new kegerators after use. Excess foam insulation may drip from behind the cold plate. This is normal and nothing to worry about - simply clean with a damp microfibre cloth.

Loose wiring. It is possible for the lead to the fan to become slightly loose and contact the blades causing noise. Remove the fan housing and reposition the wire to prevent it from contacting the blades

No castor wheel screws

These are pre-installed. The castor wheel screws are installed in the underneath of the kegerator and simply need to be unscrewed with a 5/16" socket or wrench, or Philips driver

Ice build up on cold plate

Moisture or humidity ingress. If the door is left open or the seals are damaged or dirty then ice can build up on the cold plate. If there is visible ice build up on the cold plate this will act as an insulator and prevent the cavity of the kegerator from cooling properly. Defrost the kegerator by turning it off until the ice has melted. Once defrosted, locate and correct the source of moisture ingress. Note: Do not try to remove the ice physically as this may damage the refrigerant lines and is not covered under warranty

EE Error

This is an electrical fault. This can be caused by a faulty Temperature Probe (Thermistor) or a loose connection or damaged or faulty connection. Try replacing the Temperature Probe. Inspect the board for loose or damaged connections

Front display flashing

Board Failure. This can indicate a failure of the front or the . Both boards are designed for easy replacement

No power to kegerator

The circuit may have tripped. Check that the beaker has not tripped. If it has, remove all other appliances form the circuit, reset the breaker and try again

Board failure. This can indicate a failure of the front or the . Both boards are designed for easy replacement

Water is leaking from kegerator

Melted ice build up. If there is too much water, moisture or humidity ingress in the kegerator, the ice build up can overwhelm the evaporator plate at the rear of the kegerator. Defrost the kegerator (if necessary) by turning it off until the ice has melted. Once defrosted, locate and correct the source of moisture ingress. Note: Do not try to remove the ice physically as this may damage the refrigerant lines and is not covered under warranty

Kegerator Noise

Kegerators are not domestic fridges and thus will make noises that are quite different to a standard domestic fridge. A gurgling or similar noise is quite common, and not considered unusual. The kegerators use a highly efficient refrigerant gas which can sound like gurgling. This is often more noticeable when the fridge is empty or the kegerator is brand new. Any noises are often reduced once the kegerator is filled with kegs due to the large thermal mass of the kegs.

Refrigerant noise is often more noticeable in a new kegerator, as it can take time for the coolant to settle.

To avoid excessive refrigerant noise, it is vital to leave the kegerator upright and undisturbed for at least 24 hours after transit.

In addition, if tipping the kegerator over (to install castors, for example) the kegerator must be tipped towards the right hand side (as seen from the front). Tipping the kegerator towards the inlet side of the compressor will decrease the chance of oil migrating into refrigerant line which can cause cooling and noise issues.

Leave the kegerator upright and undisturbed for at least one hour before switching on after installing castors or tipping the kegerator for any other reason.

If the fan is making excessive noise refer to General Troubleshooting

How To Fix An Over Carbonated Keg

If your beer is foaming after checking CO2 pressure, beer line length and kegerator temperature, then possibly the beer is over-carbonated. If this is the gas, then the carbonation level of the beer in the keg will need to be reduced in order to get a good pour.

19L Corny Keg

19L Cornelius Kegs have a PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) which makes releasing excess pressure quite easy. TO fix an over-carbonated 19L keg (or any homebrew keg with a PRV such as a 20L OXEBAR keg) follow these steps:

Disconnect the gas line to the keg
Pull the PRV to vent all headspace pressure
Wait a couple of hours and then repeat. DO not reconnect the gas line until the desired carbonation level has dropped

This process can be sped up if the keg is removed from the kegerator and allowed to come to room temperature - CO2 will come out of solution faster at room temperatures. You can also vent the PRV, then close the PRV and shake the keg for 30 seconds, then vent it again. This will help force CO2 out of solution. Please note that this can cause beer or foam to spray from the PRV when venting, so proceed with caution.

Commercial Keg

Commercial kegs such as 20L, 30L or 50L kegs which are connected to the beer and gas lines by a coupler do not have a PRV, so it is a bit trickier to vent excess carbonation.

If the beer is only slightly over carbonated, the easiest way to reduce carbonation is to turn off the CO2 cylinder valve and pour beer as normal. CO2 will come out of solution as the headspace pressure is purged. This will take a while however, depending on the level of over-carbonation.

To speed this up, remove the keg from the kegerator to allow it to come to room temperature. CO2 will come out of solution faster when the beer is warm.

Carbonation Chart

This chart is an easy way to determine the required CO2 pressure to achieve the desired carbonation level. As a general rule, setting the kegerator to 2°C and the regulator to 12psi will suit almost all beer styles
