@@b.e.d.brewing3909 i’m saying say i buy a 5L keg at the store, i finish it. Can i then just pour a bunch of canned or bottled beer in the empty keg and plug it in? also i bought this used and don’t have the Heineken adapter, do you know where i can buy one?
Mmm no - canned/bottled beer would be a slightly different animal. You can pour the beer into it - however it is less expensive to just purchase the 5L kegs full of beer. A few caveats - the more beer is exposed the more change of infection. You will need to clean and sanitize the keg - or you will have mold, mildew, and a whole bunch of other things that will ruin your beer.
@@erikdenkers2784 it is AWESOME! I have had it for about 8 years now and it is working like a champ! I did have some problems with the original tap (the handle came loose - user error), but nothing since I modified it to use ball locks with the standard faucet :-). - also I had an issue with the gasket for the 12 ounce CO2 cartridges... but the regulator was still working fine with the paintball cylinder.
Awesome review!
Just got this, i’m wondering can I just refill empty kegs with my bottled beer like blue moon? How does this work with the CO2
Yes :-) you can refill them - you will prime it the same as with the bottles - but you will use about 1/3 of the priming sugar :-)
@@b.e.d.brewing3909 Wait so i have to add sugar?

@@b.e.d.brewing3909 Understood, unfortunately where I’m at we’re limited to only like two options of 5L beer we can get. Thank you!
How is this Avanti kegerator holding up? Is it still working for you? Have you had any issues with it?
Sorry, I was logged into my wife's account when I posted the questions. Please respond to me instead.
