Homebrewers Outpost KEG421 Torpedo Keg - 1.5 Gal Stainless Steel

This keg serves me well as a small batch home brewer, and it's also small enough to fit in the fridge. I took off a star because the machining seems a bit rough; there are several burrs that could snag or scratch which I plan to smooth out with some sandpaper.I plan to update this review again after using the keg to carbonate either water or beer.Update! I've increased the rating by a star to 5 stars:- This keg holds pressure nicely; no leaks!- It's super easy to clean.- It was really easy to force-carbonate water; because it holds 1.5 gallons, it's much easier to shake than a larger keg.- Nice quality pull-ring on the pressure release valve.I may get more of these in the future to have multiple different homemade carbonated beverages readily accessible; the stacking feature will be essential for me since my space is limited.Update 2: Got a the 5 gallon version of this keg, and stacking them is awesome. I also filed off some rough edges around the bottom of the liquid post. I continue to be happy with this keg.

Really good quality, nice thick side walls. It came in pressurized, so no leaks and the seals are good. Absolutely LOVE it! Perfect for small batch / test beers.

Excellent for small batches. I like to test different combinations of brewing techniques, which leaves me with a lot of small quantities.Also, perfect size to take to a social where you only need to supply drink to 2-4 people. Use with insulating sleeve & the contents stay cold for hours.

Does exactly as it's supposed to do, great product.

This is a very conveniently sized keg, and has nice handles, which is something. That said, I have made maybe a dozen batches of beer using this and every single one ends in a frustrating mess with low carbonation. I have a hard time fitting any disconnects to the Out port, and the In is little better. Even when I find a disconnect that fits, I have to wrestle and bang it to get it on. I've tried multiple different disconnects, changed o-rings, taken off the ports to clean them, everything I can think of. I'll keep using it because it's what I have right now but could not recommend this keg to anyone in good faith.

So far I love this keg. Small enough batch to manage and put in my fridge. Much easier to work with than bottling about 12 bottles.

The cutest lil keg
