Customer Reviews - Starter Keg - 1/6 bbl Sanke Keg - D-Valve and Spear w/ Removeable Lid

I asked my local homebrew supply shop about getting something like this and they told me I was out of luck. Not to be deterred, I started scouring the internet and came across Keg Outlet and found the Hybrid keg which was exactly what I was looking for.<br><br>Pros:<br>Solid build quality. Absolutely top quality keg shell. The removable lid is well made and is much larger than a standard corny keg lid which gives you great access to the inside of the keg for washing and filling. The lid seems to feature a drop-in style spear which means that the components can be repaired/replaced if needed. The PRV on the lid is an added bonus as you're able to depressurize the keg without having a coupler attached.<br><br>Cons:<br>Really none that I can think of. I just wish the price wasn't as high as it is, but after seeing the quality of this keg, I can understand why it is priced as it is.

These Hybrid kegs are exactly what I've been looking for! I needed a way to distribute my beverages to local bars and restaurants, but as a small business, I didn't have the capital to purchase a ton of new sanke kegs along with the specialized cleaning and filling equipment that is required to properly use a normal sanke keg. The Hybrid keg gives me the best of both worlds - a sanke coupler so I can easily get my beverages on tap at local businesses, but unlike a normal sanke, it also has a removable lid which makes filling and cleaning the keg a breeze!<br><br>This is a great entry point for small business owners like myself who are looking to distribute a beverage, but don't have the startup capital or production volume to go "full bore".<br><br>Great product! Thanks Keg Outlet!

I have been homebrewing for well over a decade and have been hoping for this product for years. Finally got my wish! An easy keg to clean, and fill with a sanke d valve. Thank you Keg Outlet!

<p>The timing of this product release was impeccable. I had been bottling kombucha since 2015 and was now finally considering kegging. The sanke valve lid is an ingenious design...eliminating the need for separate gas/fluid lines. This makes it extremely easy to use with an existing kegerator that uses the sanke valve set-up. Also, cheers to Brendan for the amazing customer service.<br />
DISCLAIMER: I&#39;ve only kegged 1 batch of kombucha in this so my review is based on limited use.</p>

<p>I&#39;m primarily a homebrewer and have always used corny kegs, so I never really thought I&#39;d need a sanke keg or anything like the hybrid keg. Turns out, I was wrong.<br />
<br />
A buddy of mine needed some help cleaning the lines of his kegerator for a party he was going to have, but he didn&#39;t have a cleaning keg or any way to flush his lines. Turns out, his necessity coincided with my need to put some of my homebrew into a keg that would attach to a sanke coupler for an event. Killed two birds with one stone by purchasing a hybrid keg! When I received it, I opened it, cleaned it and filled it with line cleaner, so my buddy was able to clean his lines. Then I rinsed it and filled it with homebrew to take to my event.<br />

Long story, sorry. To tell you about the keg. It&#39;s SOLID. Very well built, sturdy and the lid is substantial. I don&#39;t know that I&#39;ll ever switch my setup from corny kegs to these Hybrid kegs, but it is a very nice, well built keg.</p>

Very nice product, I just have trouble getting the keg lid on and off sometimes, but overall love it!

<p>I started by buying 2 of these kegs for use with a couple of my clients and it went so well, I now have over a dozen in operation. The removable lid with the sanke valve is a game changer. It makes it so easy for me to put cocktails on draft at client locations. They love it, I love it, it&#39;s a win-win for everybody!</p>

This keg has been the newest upgrade to my mancave.
