Usage Notes
Compatible with standard 8g CO₂ bulbs and holder (not included; sold separately)
Recommended to test with water and CO₂ before first use to confirm seal integrity.
Ideal for serving directly from the barrel—no need for bottling.
Note: No CO₂ is included with this barrel
Note: To ensure a proper seal, it's essential to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around the lid’s O-ring. Hand-tightening alone is often insufficient—using a cap spanner to give an extra quarter turn can significantly improve the seal and prevent gas leaks.
Occasionally, manufacturing inconsistencies can leave small bumps or uneven areas on the rim of the barrel. Lightly sanding the top surface with wet-and-dry sandpaper on a flat board can help level it out, improving the lid’s contact and sealing performance.
IMPORTANT: After filling the barrel, always check for pressure within the first hour. Open the tap briefly - if pressure is present, all is well. If not, re-tighten the lid, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the seal, and test again.
Don’t leave this step for several weeks, as lack of pressure could result in a spoiled brew.
