8L PET Oxebar Keg with Cap and Handle

8L PET Oxebar Keg with Cap and Handle

Keep your oxygen-sensitive beverages fresher for longer with the Oxebar Monolayer. We recommend this product for storing beer up to 3-6 months.
This great value re-usable plastic keg is the best way to store your home brew in a smaller sized container than traditional 19L corny kegs. The small 8liter size is convenient, light weight and perfect for sharing beverages with friends.

This 8L keg is lightweight, compact and has high oxygen barrier properties with 3x better (less) gas transmission than traditional PET grades of plastic, making it suitable for beer storage or other oxygen sensitive carbonated and non-carbonated beverages.

This product is sold with the PCO38 cap, however if you would like to dispense this product through a draft system we recommend the use of the PCO38 Tapping Head (KL20169).  The tapping head is sold separately and allows you to attach standard ball lock disconnects and add a pressure relief valve to the top of this keg design.

What is Oxebar Mono
Oxebar Mono is a PET polymer blend that utilises several polymers blended together to significantly improve gas barrier properties. When compared with standard PET plastic, Oxebar Mono is able to reduce oxygen ingress and CO2 loss, so your precious beverage is preserved, and shelf life extended by x3. We recommend this product for beer stored in keg up to 6 months.

Periodic Hydrotesting Requirement

All pressure vessels should be hydrotested periodically.  This is a very simple process, and it's nothing to be feared.  We recommend that this container be pressure tested every 2 years up to 6 bar.  The instructions for this are:
1. Remove RED PRV and fit GREY PRV (you can borrow one of these from a 19L keg.
2. Fill keg to the absolute brim with water.  DO NOT forget this step.
3. Use a bike pump, CO2 regulator, air compressor or any other pressure source to pressurize the keg to 6 bar.
4. Hold the keg at 6 bar for 1 minute
5. Release the pressure and immediately remove GREY PRV and swap back to RED PRV.
Note: This test should be done with the keg and water in the keg at room temperature 15-30°C

Please note: Tapping head is not included
