19L Cornelius Keg

Brewshop is the Norwegian distributor of original Cornelius kegs from AEB, Italy, the best Cornelius kegs on the market.

Why choose a Cornelius keg from AEB?

AEB is renowned for the superior quality of its Cornelius kegs, produced in Italy for companies such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi worldwide for over 30 years.

All kegs from AEB are passivated to make the steel resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, and individually inspected at every stage of production, cleaned, and pressure-tested to 130 PSI / 9.1 bar. Each keg has a unique serial number and is traceable down to the smallest detail during production.

AEB kegs have more rubber on both the top and bottom, providing better protection for the steel in case of a fall, unlike Chinese kegs (e.g., Kegland) with less rubber. With a diameter of 219 mm (+/- 2 mm), including the extra layer of rubber, AEB kegs offer increased durability and reliability – an investment in quality for your home brewery!

Details:

Comes with a complete lid, stainless steel safety valve, in/out valve, dip tube, and CO2 tube.

Height 63.5cm, diameter 22cm.

Maintenance recommendations:

The use of Star San and similar acid-based rinses containing phosphoric acid, even in low concentrations, can over time negatively affect the steel if left in contact with it. This continues to etch the surface, weakening the passivation layer that protects the steel. The acid-based solution can be stored in the keg for a few hours, but then you should rinse with clean water.

Cornelius kegs or bottles?

Using bottles involves a lengthy process of washing and filling, resulting in varying carbonation. With a keg, you only have to wash one Cornelius keg instead of many bottles, and it's easy to achieve perfect carbonation for every brew. If carbonation is incorrect, it's easy to adjust by either reducing or increasing the pressure. Cornelius kegs are also very easy to clean, especially with a Keg Washer that does the job for you while you can focus on more fun things. The Cornelius keg can be filled directly from the fermenter without first racking.
