how to reuse a little keg here you're gonna need a keg scissors electrical tape pliers first thing that you're going to do is wrap the pliers with some electrical tape get a piece of electrical tape wrap it this is going to protect the rubber pieces that's fine it doesn't have to be too fancy just something there take out the bung out of the bunghole okay let's see that piece right there how's that look just a little piece of plastic they're a lot harder to take out then you might think there's a piece in here that you're going to need to pop through so in the top there you'll see a little red piece and that needs to pop taking a screwdriver we're going to simply take that and pop it in now we need to get this rubber piece out and to do so we can take our screwdriver here and get it under there lift up the rubber piece of it until you can get our pliers under there and then you can slowly work okay now get out remotely intact so how I got that the best was to come at it and an angle tilt it up get this out of the pliers down in there grab it and pull it out now we've got the plastic piece inside there that we need to remove so we'll take this and fill it up with water and swish it around yeah fill it up with some water you know these tapes have a spout on them it will make the draining of the water easier open the spout by twisting that flip it upside down here give it a spin just like that now set this aside turn the knob with a little more water here and I'll close the spout switch the water around just try to keep that any beer out of there a little bit also get a little bit down this spell bring out the spout get him out of water through there now we'll get it prepared to put some gear star sand sanitizer all right let's put the bung back together here we've got the rubber piece here take that flip it upside down and you see it's all circle there but it's got a flat piece right there so what you do you take this flat side and you line it up with this other plastic piece that's also cool but it also has a flat sides you line those two up just line it in there stick it in there just like that now you go to the front side here and you can see it's got these two pieces of plastic in there and then the bottom one of this you see it's got a little L shape here so you line that up with the two pieces of plastic that are l-shaped there and you stick it right in there like that and then what you do is you give this a little snap snap it together this indicates the open position what you do is you just twist it to the closed position there and all right I just got the beer out of the refrigerator first its conditioned and carbonated for two weeks and then I put it in the refrigerator about 12 hours ago so it should be nice and cold we're gonna give it a taste here and pop it open see if there's some carbonation in there and see what it looks like coming out of the mini keg so first thing we want to do is we want to turn this vent here to the open and I'll bring you over here to see if we can hear it hiss hopefully as we pop it open give it a twist here and hopefully we should hear a nice hiss hear that yes and if you heard some rumbling that was the cats as they scurried away they we've got it open now again for these beers they have this pool spout here so you pull that out and then you will twist it counterclockwise and the beer will flow right out so let's see how it works here got a nice flow doesn't look too bad there so there as you can see it's he doesn't seem terribly carbonated and the time it took me to move the camera over here which took about 30 seconds you can see the head kind of already fell out of there so I probably could have carbonated for another week maybe or so but this is after two weeks and now as far as taste and flavor it's got a good taste a good flavor I do like the amount of carbonation that it has but again it could stand to have a little bit more so maybe I would have gone a little bit longer on the carbonation or potentially added a bit more sugar though they say with these kegs you want to be careful adding more sugar could potentially cause the keg itself to bow out or disfigure and potentially blow up or something and there you have it that's how to reuse one of these mini kegs
