Draft Systems

*Homebrew Draft Systems

Five Gallon Keg System. The ultimate in homebrew storage and dispensing: NB's Homebrew Keg System holds a complete five gallon batch in one vessel, fits inside a spare refrigerator, eliminates the tedious chore of sanitizing and filling bottles, and makes it possible to force-carbonate your beer so you can enjoy handcrafted draft beer a day or two after kegging.

We've often heard customers say (and we've said it ourselves) that a keg system is the best investment you can make in homebrewing equipment. It takes less than 30 minutes to keg a 5 gallon batch from sanitizing to clean-up, and by force-carbonating flat beer with pressurized CO2, your beer is ready to drink in a fraction of the time it takes bottle-conditioned homebrew to carbonate. What this all means is that you can spend less time working and more time appreciating your brewing prowess and accepting compliments.

Includes a new five-gallon ball lock soda keg, dual gauge regulator, plastic "cobra" picnic faucet, and all necessary tubing and fittings. Please note: a CO2 cylinder is NOT included.

2.5 Gallon Keg System. Same as our 5 Gallon Keg System, but with a 2.5 gallon keg instead of a 5 gallon. The smaller size is easier to transport and takes up less fridge space, but won't hold an entire batch.

5 Gallon Used Keg System. Same as our 5 Gallon Keg System, but with a used 5 gallon keg instead of a new 5 gallon keg. Used kegs are guaranteed to hold pressure but require cleaning before use; some may also require replacement parts.

*Nitrogen Draft Systems

Homebrew Nitrogen System. A component kit for those who already have a ball-lock soda keg system. Includes nitrogen regulator, 5 lb. nitrogen cylinder, stout faucet with tap handle and 3 inch shank, plus all necessary tubing, clamps, fittings, ball lock disconnects, and instructions. The stout faucet is what creates that famous cascade of foam that slowly resolves itself into a pint of beer. When served "on nitrogen", a beer will have finer bubbles, a denser head, and a creamier mouthfeel than those carbonated and dispensed with CO2 alone. Fill the included nitrogen cylinder with beer gas (a blend of 70% nitrogen and 30% CO2, available at most gas supply companies) and prepare to live the dream.

Please note that by federal law, gas cylinders must be shipped empty — you'll need to have them filled locally. Look under "Gas Suppliers" in your Yellow Pages.

#KX10Nitro Keg System $292.99
EACH
BUY

Homebrew Nitrogen System with Keg and Stone. For use as a stand-alone system. This kit contains all of the equipment that's in #KX10, but with the addition of a new 5 gallon ball lock keg and a stainless steel diffusion stone. We have found that by using a diffusion stone to force beer gas into solution, you can circumvent the need to carbonate the beer with CO2 prior to serving — this saves a couple steps, and allows folks who want to brew and serve "nitro beers" to jump right in without buying extra equipment.

Please note that by federal law, gas cylinders must be shipped empty — you'll need to have them filled locally. Look under "Gas Suppliers" in your Yellow Pages.
