My bad, I was looking at the views
... darn, found this video too late for the give-away
None-the-less - thank you for doing the review!
I love using mini kegs but I hate the stock regulator/dispenser that they come with. I found a company called CanKeg that makes upgraded version that work amazing! They also make adpaters to switch to soda stream co2 tanks that save me so much money since I don't have to use those little cartridges.
very good i like cankeg to🥰
The 1.6g is probably the one I'd buy.
Perfect timing for this review. I was just looking into keg options this morning & 3 of these were on my list to look into.
Thank you!
I have been waiting for someone to review these types of kegs. Thank you for doing the review! Keep up the great mead content! 😁
Amazingly prescient! I was just looking at these last week to add to my Christmas list!
I appreciate your honest reviews.
That short little keg really is pretty great! Thanks for letting us know.
You’re far and above the most informative mead channel I’ve found on UA-cam and I appreciate you man
I was just shopping for 1-gallon kegs to put on a wish list. Great timing!
Been doing some research on mini kegs and this is literally exactly what I've been looking for.
I just want to say that you’re one of the driving factors that gave me courage to actually start homebrewing and for that I’m so thankful. I’ve been at it since the beginning of summer and it’s the thing I look forward to doing every week. So again thanks a ton and keep doing what you’re doing
I'm happy to help! Have fun brewing!
I was the 500th like. Fingers crossed 🤞
Great comparison video! Been wanting to get one of these smaller kegs for easy transport.
That's a great brewing vessel(keg). I have the glass jar type, but this is the professional way to go! Nice 🙂
Great video! I've been brewing beer at home for a bit, and your videos helped the most when I was looking to expand to add mead making to my homebrew setup a few months ago. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the knowledge and getting me more interested in brewing mead when I was looking for info!
I'm happy to help!
Thanks for doing this side-by-side comparison and review. Nice to have some options for storing
Love your channel and have already learned so much from your content. Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge.
I'm happy to share!
I've been getting FB ads about mini carbonating growlers lately for some reason, but I'm glad to see your video about small kegs. I've been thinking about getting one because I don't have the space to keep a 5 gallon keg and CO2 tanks. This was a great comparison and I was glad you covered the 1.6 gallon one because I saw it in the Moscow Mule video and wanted to know more about it. So thanks!
Great video! Have been thinking about getting a mini keg for a while so this is a good starting point.
Something that could potentially be added in the future is a focus on double walled versions for longer temp regulation if you plan on taking the keg somewhere
Great reviews, I actually hadthe Gancowise on my Christmas wishlist!
Thanks for the video, I have been looking for a small affordable keg
looking into possibly kegging soon... thanks for the info, love the video
Thx for the comparison, great vid!
Great video. I have several 5 gallon kegs that I bought at a great price but they're too big for what I do at this time. These 1 gal would be perfect. Thanks for highlighting these 4 and giving your honest thoughts.
Great video topic. Thanks for the product reviews.
Great comparison review!
Thanks for the review. This is helpful info for the keezer I'm trying to build and want several small batch kegs.
great video to explain the options available. thanks
Awesome Video, was very informative.
I think I prefer the slender kegs, vertical is easier for me to store away.
Happy ro see we agree
I'm bummed it took me so long to watch this video! Thanks for the review of these. I haven't gotten into kegging yet due to the expense so it is nice to know how they compare before I invest what little I have into a small keg solution.
Thanks for the great video! They are full of facts & information😊
Great video! Also a great giveaway. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos!
Great informative video!
I am looking into getting one of these thanks for the video
Awesome video!
I have a 1 gal and it took a bit, but I put together some fittings to connect it to a drinkmate/sodastream co2 cannister.
Great Video, I have been looking to pick up a 1 gallon for small batches.
Awesome review, I would add that the ball lock fittings are not that costly (search on Amazon) and the savings from not having to purchase the small CO2 tubes will pay off in a short time. A small CO2 set up is extremely affordable as well. Thank you for the excellent videos you put out.
This is a great giveaway and awsome video. Been wondering about these mini kegs for a while
I'm definitely getting me one of those
That is so cool. But getting the soda stream adapter might be ideal.
Excited to enter!
That YaeBrew also comes in 2.6 gallon, which might be a better size for the beer brewers out there.
Very helpful
Kind of wish the Yaebrew was the one being given! Would be my choice of purchase, with a good old CO2 tank to carbonate instead of those cartridges
Constantly looki g at these systems. Thanks for the review
Really Enjoyed your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠
A review that challenged your stone brewing race in its honesty bravo sir. If i had of won I'd possible look at adding a floating dip tube and try combine to consume single vessel run.
One question can the pressure release valve be changed in those systems or are they fixed
Here we go 🤘
Great review, keep doing.
Thank you!
Great comparison. Would love to win one of the kegs! Thanks!
I've been wanting to get into kegging! Looking forward to the giveaway!
cool info, thanks
Good video, I've been thinking about getting a keg for a bit now, this may be the final push to get one lol
great review i am going to carbonate my first sweet mead and this does give me some affordable options
You should definitely give these a shot!
Great video!
That's some kool info
I have a 1.6 gallon corny keg that I use for carbonating small batches from my kegerator system. Also have carbonating lids with airstones
Those are great!
Ohhhh man I'd love to win one. My natural carbing has been middling in success. Crossing fingers!!!
Very nice. I'll need to get two of these and make a leather backpack system for walking around with them ha ha.

Very nice review :)
Also available on amazon
Great video. I was looking for these kegs myself on Amazon. I was nor sure about the quality. seeing your video makes me wonder again. Im will fill out the form right away and to win. Learning alot from your videos. greats from the Netherlands
what is that device that can sit on top of a keg that you mentioned? I have a little 64oz nitro coffee keg but it doesn't have a regulator so I think I could just get a regulator like you mentioned. It is all so confusing lol.
Thinking I might need to get that 1.6 gallon one. It might be nice to go from the little big mouth to that.
Great video and awesome giveaway
Nice!
Great video! I've been thinking of getting a leg so I can try carbonating some meads without having to keep the yeast alive. Thanks for the content!
I'm happy to share!
just bought the yaebrew 2.6 gallon
Great job, but you need to go on eBay and get a Picnic Tap 2.1 from Trong. They are amazing for these types of kegs as it doesn't foam, and no hose is needed. Love my Picnic Taps 2.0/2.1 as I need to buy a few more personally.
Woo! I just clicked the like button and it rolled over from 99 to 100! :D
Great video! Makes me wish I had the yaebrew rather then the 2 gallon vevor. I ran into the same problems with cartridges so i converted it to use a 5lb Co2 bottle instead. But now I can try out some of yours and most’s hydromels. Looking forward to it
I know this is an old comment, but how did you convert it? I figure I might want to convert mine at some point.
@@alexandraengland3274 I used an adapter that went from 3/8-24 male to 1/4 npt female then used air hose line with a quick disconnect on it. on the co2 side I used a barb fitting on the regulator. Its not the correct way to do it but couldn't find another way either. One tip though if you need that adaptor check scuba gear places, it was the only place the adaptor could be found.
When I save a few bucks, I am definitely going to buy that gancowise keg. You should put it up on your online store .
I will!
I realize that I'm late to the party, but I saw the likes were @1k, so I figured I'd shoot my shot! 😁
As usual, great video. I just now realized I wasn’t sub’d to you. Been watching since I started brewing back in April, but haven’t been sub’d. I am now, though! Thanks for the opportunity with this drawing! 🤞
man I wanna try these, just can't make my mind up on one. I've been researching them and they all have pros as well as cons 🤷♂️
I signed up.
I'm interested in the links to the products for the 1.6 gal keg that you used, but thanks for the review, really thinking about getting one from this
Getting close to the 1k!!!
I have the YaeBrew 1.6 gallon for sharing my brew with friends. It may be wider but it's short height makes it easier to fit in a fridge
I definitely think it's the best one!
what size are the ball lock fittings if you dont mind sharing
@@bradjenkins229 Ball Lock fittings are standardized to one size in the beverage world to my knowledge.
@manmademead so I would have to buy pressure monitor and spout for the one given highest rating? The others come with this correct?
It would be awesome to get a keg
There are 2 type of 16gr Co2 " tube". Thread A and B. Which one should I buy? Thanks!
Cool video
Awesome I want to 🏆
Let’s brew!!!
I am going to try my hand at some sparkling cider/mead/wine and cannot decide between carbonating in this form or the priming sugar route. Can you tell me why you go this route? With this route can you bottle afterwards? If so would you carbonate in keg and then put in bottle and cap? Thank you for the reviews.
This route allows you to use whatever back sweetening sugar you want (assuming you have stabilized) and still get carbonation. You can definitely still bottle off a keg and you just simply pour it into whatever bottle you want from the keg!
I was looking at the yaebrew keg and do not mind the ball locks or buying attachments. You actually cleared up a lot of questions about it but I do have one. Do you think I could fit 2 of them side by side in a cooler? I’m planning on building a cooler with picnic taps drilled through to the outside for tailgating
I think you could! They aren't too tall!
Liked and will fill out the form. Would be awesome to win one
Would love to win one!
In it to win IT
I haven't brewed in almost 20 years- not since making mead with my parents. I found you today and am putting together my equipment list to buy!
I never thought of kegging it, but our first batch that carbonated was amazing in the bottles that didn't expode. I think I have to save this for the second round of equipment.
One question - you seem to make a lot of quick dry meads of under 12% alcohol content, and then age them. I thought to age an alcohol, you needed to be at or above 12%?
So dry normally refers to the amount of sugar left in a brew, not the abv! You can age any alcohol at any abv- however, most of the time the higher abv brews age better!
does the yaebrew have a dip tube and if not wha diameter do i need. also what diameter ball locks too. thanks!
It has a dip tube in it! Not sure about the diameter ball locks!
Would they be ok to make sparkling wine ?
Yup!
Just got a tmcraft 1g keg for 50$ can wait for my first batch of mead to finish so I can try carbonation
Looks neat, these work ok for a ginger beer?
Yup!
Have you bottled directly from the kegs? Does it hold the carbonation?
Yeah! You can go straight from the tap. I would say it's best to consume it within a few weeks though
I have the square keg more expensive but well worth slides in my refridge with ease also bought square soft cooler with refreezeable ice packs best beer toy I bought have 2 square kegs to fill off my tap system have 15 beers on tap easy to carry to any party their the talk of the party brew on
