5L kegs FAQ's

A 5L draught keg is designed for storing and serving beer. It's perfect for home use, or to take to a party or to the park as it's very portable. You can use a 5L keg incombination with the BeerTender machine, or on its own.

Unlike BLADE kegs, 5L kegs can be used without a machine. Each keg comes with a plastic tap which can be used to dispense beer. Please note that tubes are not needed to operate a keg on its own, but if you want to use a 5L keg with your BeerTender, you will need one new tube per keg. Your BeerTender machine will come with 10 free tubes, but if you need more they can be ordered from our website.
