Corny – System for dispensing draft beer
1. Cornelius keg: The Cornelius keg is a cylindrical stainless steel vessel, typically with a capacity of 9 or 18 liters. These kegs are corrosion‑resistant, durable and easy to clean. They also feature an airtight lid with a rubber gasket that allows easy access to the inside of the keg for cleaning and filling.
2. Gas and liquid connectors: The Cornelius keg has two connections, one for gas (CO2, mixed gas or nitrogen N2 depending on the beverage) and one for liquid (beer, wine, cider, soft drink, etc.). These connectors are known as “ball‑lock connectors” or “pin‑lock connectors”, depending on the coupling system they use.
3. Pressure regulator: The gas regulator connects to a gas cylinder and allows you to adjust the gas pressure entering the keg. This is essential to maintain proper carbonation and beverage flow during dispensing.
4. Connectors and tubing: The connectors and tubing link the Corny keg with the pressure regulator and the dispense tap. Food‑grade plastic or silicone tubing is generally used.
5. Dispense tap: The tap can be a conventional faucet mounted on a tower or a picnic tap attached directly to the keg, which is a more portable and economical option.
1. Filling the keg: The Corny keg is filled with the beverage to be dispensed through the top opening, then sealed with the airtight lid and the gas and liquid connectors are attached.
2. Connecting the gas system: The pressure regulator is connected to the gas cylinder and the pressure is adjusted according to the carbonation and dispense requirements of the beverage.
3. Dispensing the beverage: When the dispense tap is opened, the pressurized gas counter‑pressurizes and pushes the beverage from the Corny keg to the tap. The gas pressure is adjusted as needed and according to the type of beverage to maintain a steady flow and proper carbonation.
