Beer kegs and more beverages
We can basically classify kegs into two types: with bag or without bag.
Bagless kegs can be made from several materials: plastic, stainless steel and wood, although the latter are in the minority and are used for very specific beer styles.
The stainless steel keg is the most widely used, mainly because of its durability, and its key characteristic is that you need to inject CO2 via a pressure regulator in order to serve the beer. At Install Beer we do not stock stainless steel kegs, but you can find beer filling heads and dispensing couplers such as the S‑type keg coupler.
Bag‑in kegs are almost always plastic, and contain an inner bag where the beer, wine, cider or any other beverage is stored and preserved. The main advantage of this system is that you do not need a consumable such as CO2, which you have to keep buying; instead you can use an air compressor, such as the Pro Silent 6 silent compressor, since the air is not in contact with the product and cannot contaminate it.
If what you need is an empty beer keg or a cocktail keg, we offer new 9‑ and 19‑litre Cornelius‑type kegs, as well as all their components and spare parts. Today, demand for this type of keg is booming in the cocktail sector. If you are looking for a cocktail keg, you will see that the stainless steel Corny keg provides the hygiene and serving performance your cocktails require. Many cocktail bars rely on them.
At Install Beer we specialise in selling beer kegs and all their components, such as dispensing couplers.
Neoprene jacket to chill the keg and keep the product temperature stable at all times.
Professional tap with flow compensator. It operates using 16 g CO2 cartridges and allows you to regulate the CO2 inlet pressure into the keg. Stainless steel body and tap.
Seal that hermetically closes the connection between the extractor spear and the metal keg. Seal available for S‑type spear and A / G‑type spear.
Set of 3 silicone rubber seals for Corny or Cornelius kegs. Compatible with Ball‑Lock and Pin‑Lock Corny kegs.

This coupler fits all "A" system keg valves, Flat Top German or Alumasc. It is designed for maximum flow, with a specially designed pressure inlet nozzle that eliminates the need for a coupling washer when used with standard non‑return valve NADS. Gas flow is controlled by a lever: pressure is off in the normal position. It connects to the spear by sliding it sideways/horizontally until it stops and then pushing the handle down until it locks into place. For cleaning, it can be quickly disassembled for cleaning and routine maintenance.
The PYGMY 25/K beer cooler is designed for professional chilling and dispensing of excellent cold beer for home use, garden parties or small events.
The KeyKeg coupler with integrated safety valve connects your KeyKeg to the tap. It is designed around the unique feature of KeyKeg kegs: the separation of the propellant gas from the beverage itself. Safety: A high‑capacity pressure relief valve has been built in as an integral part of the coupler body. This serves two purposes: it prevents a keg from exceeding the recommended working pressure, and it allows the user to relieve pressure when necessary to prevent or resolve dispensing problems. Each coupler is supplied with an emptying tool and an assembly instruction guide. The KeyKeg system allows you to serve beer exactly as the brewmaster intended.
In the past, beer kegs were wooden barrels with bungs, and beer was dispensed simply using gravity and air. Today, kegs are sterile plastic or stainless steel containers, and pure inert gases are used to drive the beer from the keg using a coupler. A keg is “tapped” by inserting a coupler into the keg valve; each system uses a matching set of fittings, like a key in a lock.
Preguntas Frecuentes
A beer keg is the container where we store beer so we can transport it without losing its properties. There are many different types of kegs, but broadly speaking we can classify them as kegs with an inner bag or kegs without a bag. The most common for more commercial beers are stainless steel kegs without a bag—the typical keg you’ve always seen—but with the rise of craft beer, plastic kegs with an inner bag have become increasingly popular.
If what you want is to buy a beer keg to throw a party with friends or family, then yes, it’s worth it, because once you have the beer tap and the keg connected you can serve cold beer without taking up space in the fridge, without having to wait for it to chill and, most importantly, without generating waste!
There are different keg sizes, whether reusable or single-use, but the most common are 10L – 20L – 30L – 50L.
Connecting the system to the keg is very simple: you just have to take the coupler and lock it into the keg’s outlet. You must make sure you have the correct coupler for that type of keg, as there are different coupler models.
