Welcome to Biertap.eu.

Today I am going to show you how to connect your beer cooler to a beer keg.

I have all the parts here.

The beer tap, a mini co2 bottle with a co2-metre,

The dispense head, tubes, and of course the beer keg!

At first we take the dispense head and connect them to the John Guest connector.

This is to make the connection with the beer keg.

Next up, this John Guest connector. This one goes at the side of the dispense head, and is for the CO2 connection.

Screw them hand-tide, that’s more than enough.

And this little connector goes on the CO2 metre.

And here goes the same; hand-tide is more than enough.

After that we’ll take the beer tube…

After you prepared the dispense head and all the tubes, you’ll connect the beer tube in the back of the beer cooler.

Make sure you’ll press it well until it ‘pops’.

We’ll turn the beer dispenser and we’ll take our dispense head. If it’s up, it’s open.

After that, you’ll connect it on the beer keg.

Turn the dispense head a little.

You’ll connect the cooler with electricity after you’ve connected the beer keg.

After that you’ll need to tweak the pressure with the CO2 bottle.

With a dry cooler, in this case a Pygmy 25, it’s a good idea to start with a bar of 2,3.

I’m going to set it a little bit higher.

Now we’ll wait until the cooler stalls, then it will be on the right temperature.

With a dry cooler like this, it would be about 5 minutes.

And then you’ll be ready to tap some beers!
