Set your sights on a brand new Torpedo Keg! The patented, D794,899, sleek all-stainless design represents the pinnacle of quality in ball lock homebrew kegs. With features like welded stainless handles, the ability to stack with fittings in place, amazing quality and a great price we think these kegs will become the standard by which other kegs are measured.
Quality First
The first thing we at MoreBeer! check out is interior welds. We've spent a decade rejecting kegs made overseas because the interior welds have never met our standards. If a weld is not perfect and shows evident burn marks along with nooks and crannies it cannot be sanitized effectively. These kegs are machine welded and exceed our standards for quality. The weld quality is possible because these kegs made by an ISO certified commercial keg manufacturer.
Cool Features
Torpedo Kegs were designed to stack with Ball Lock quick disconnects in place and serving which is a cool feature for some brewers who have vertical space in their refrigerator. We also like the rolled stainless steel handles. They are comfortable to grab and will never come off like some rubber handles can over time. In and Out is etched near the keg posts for easy identification which is very handy when you are connecting lines in a refrigerator or kegerator and trying not to make a mistake.
Stainless Fermenter
We've seen a lot our customers having great success using the 6-gallon Torpedo Keg as a stainless steel fermenter or "kegmenter". The extra headroom that this size offers makes it a great option for fermenting 5-gallon batches. We highly recommend using CellarScience Foam Axe if you're fermenting in the keg. Foam Axe will help reduce krausen buildup, cutting down the chance of clogging issues with the ball lock poppets and the PRV in the keg lid. It should also be noted that leaving your finished beer on the leftover trub from fermentation for too long will eventually lead to off-flavors. If it won't be consumed in 2-3 weeks, transfer your beer to a fresh keg using the Torpedo Keg Buoy which will pick up the clearest beer and leave the sediment behind.
Low2 Keg Lid O-ring
Give your beverage the absolute best protection from oxygen staling with the Low2 keg lid O-ring. Even the most perfectly sealed keg is susceptible to oxygen ingress through the hatch O-ring—yes, even if the keg is under constant pressure with CO2! Even a leak-free, pressurized keg will release CO2 molecules as they pass through the lid O-ring itself, and conversely, Oxygen molecules will permeate through the O-ring and diffuse into the keg when they reach the surface area on the other side. The level of permeability is wide ranging and highly dependent on what material the O-ring is made from. Rather than the usual EPDM or Silicone, Low2 gaskets are made from a unique composition of Synthetic M-Class and Cross-Link Elastomers. This special blend has superior oxygen barrier properties that results in your beverage staying fresher for longer.
