Cornelius Beer Barrel System

The Cornelius system has a great name. It's all good quality.

SOme of it is refurbished, some is new,some is Chinese. It's a bit of a mish mash of bits to get it all to work.

They are good but do require a bit of effort. It's getting better and we think it will be Cornelius type barrels eventually. In the meantime the plastic barrels are cheaper and easy to use.

We've tried to stock the easiest Cornelius equipment. It's all tested and works well.

Co2 Charger for the Cornelius Keg 16g

You'll need a "quick disconnect gas in" to go with this.

It allows you to add gas to your cornelius keg, it takes the 16 g co2 bulbs which are twice the size of the usual soda syphon bulbs.

It's essential because you can't get the beer out without it!

Cornelius Flexi Dispense Tap

You'll need this to get the beer out of the keg! You can see it's got the disconnect on on end and a tap on the other.

It's the easiest way other than adapting a bar tap.

Cornelius Quik Disconnect Beer Out

This is just the disconnect, you'll need some method of controlling the beer once this is on.

If you just put it on the barrel the beer shoots out all over the place. You can use a pub type bar tap but you'll have to adapt it probably. A bit of thinking and a trip to B and Q will usually sort it.

Easiest way is the Flexi tap.

To put it on you pull the ring at the bottom up, push it on the spigot on the top of the keg and allow the ring to spring back and lock the disconnect on.

Cornelius Quick Disconnect Gas In

Connects to the Cornelius to allow the connection of a gas supply.

Either the small 16 g bulbs or a big cylinder!

To put it on you pull the ring at the bottom up, push it on the spigot on the top of the keg and allow the ring to spring back and lock the disconnect on.

Cornelius Keg With Tap

A stainless steel cornie keg with a tap fitted.

The tap goes through the rubber handles and connects via the disconnect out, it's already fitted and ready to go!

As a word of warning the taps do tend to require a bit of adjusting occasionally, the nuts work loose and it all starts to spin round. It's easy enough to correct but you do have to be aware of it!

16g Bulbs for Cornelius Injector pack of 5

These are a spare pack of 16g bulbs for the cornelius charger/injector.

They won't fit the other pressure systems!! They are for the cornelius only!

They do fit a few airguns though! They are not the threaded type

Cornelius Keg Recycled 19 litre

A stainless Cornelius keg. Nice and clean in good condition.

You'll need the dispense tap and the injector to go with it.

Also a "quick disconnect gas in" or you can't use the injector!

These hold 19 litres and take up to 100psi.

They are the best home brew barrel but do have a couple of faults!

They use a narrow dip tube which sucks from the bottom of the keg, this means that the beer has to go in bright and clear otherwise the tube can get blocked. You can take the tube out and cut about 12mm off it to stop the problem.

They are the best way to dispense your beer though and worth the investment, worth taking a bit of trouble over!

You then inject the beer with co2 to get the beer out.

The beer won't come out without gas, the only system we can supply is the small injector below.

If you have access to a supply of Co2 with regulators from a pub or bar then you can use that.. You have to know what you're doing though.
