Reconditioned Corny Keg 19L
- Description
- Shipping information
We've changed how we categorise our reconditioned (recon) corny style 19L kegs. This is to offer better value to customers that want it.
All our kegs (apart from the inferior category) are guaranteed to be gas tight, free from welds and perished rubber (that can leave black marks on your hands and surfaces).
We sort all the reconditioned kegs we receive into categories dependent on their condition (as below). We were the first UK online seller of kegs to do this. See our video below for a (not so quick..) guide to our categories.
All our kegs are guaranteed to seal.
These are all reconditioned to a fantastic standard - with all seals replaced, machine polished and stainless steel pressure relief valve fitted.
Superior grade kegs - No welds or significant dents in the walls of the keg or the base. The lid is in great condition and the lid opening isn't damaged or bent. Rubber is in good condition and doesn't leave any marks on surfaces / hands.
Standard grade kegs - The same as the superior grade but with more significant dents to the base or the walls of the keg. These dents are still quite small - see video for examples.
Inferior grade kegs - These will have at least one of the following:
- Very large Dents in the wall of the keg or rubber base or top
- Perished rubber that can leave marks on surfaces / hands
- Lid opening may have some dents (but will still seal)
- Weld(s) in keg wall leaving rough inside surfaces that can harbour possible infections
The inside of the kegs are clean.
O rings have been replaced with new ones - 2 on each post, 1 on each dip tube and 1 on the lid. The plastic lid feet have also been replaced where necessary.
Kegs are all branded. We have various brands: AEB, SAFER, Cornelius or other Italian or German brands. All brands are the same size.

Brewing frequently asked questions
How long does it take to brew beer?
The time it takes to brew beer can vary, but on average, the process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the various stages such as malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and bottling. However, some beer styles may require longer aging periods for optimal flavor development.
Is home brewing worth it?
Many people find home brewing to be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, allowing them to create unique and customised beers. It provides a deeper understanding of the brewing process and offers the opportunity to experiment with different ingredients and styles. Additionally, home brewing can be cost-effective in the long run compared to purchasing craft beers. However, it requires time, effort, and a certain level of commitment. Whether it's worth it ultimately depends on one's passion for brewing and the satisfaction derived from the process and the end product.
Is home brewing legal?
Home brewing for personal use is generally legal, and there is no need for a specific license as long as certain conditions are met. Home brewers are allowed to produce beer, wine, and cider for personal consumption. However, there are limits on the amount that can be brewed without a license. As of January 2022, the limits were 100 litres for beer and 100 litres for wine per household.
It's important to stay informed about any updates or changes in the regulations, so it's advisable to check with local authorities or brewing associations for the most current information regarding home brewing laws in the UK. Always ensure that you comply with the relevant regulations and guidelines to enjoy home brewing within the legal framework.
