I recently got several mini-kegs and was curious about force carbonating ’em. With my initial purchase, I got a Philtap system and after weeks of Googling, I came to the conclusion that not many people were force carbonating mini-kegs.
To make a long story short, I don’t currently have any room for a corny keg and a CO2 tank, but I can fit several mini-kegs, (5L) in the garage fridge. So after hours of research, I simply removed the valve from the schrader valve on the Philtap and hooked the CO2 tank right up to it for some force carbonation action.
It worked! And it worked extremely well. I used 12PSI and shook the heck out of it several times over a 30 minute window.
One of the reasons I wanted to post this here is so it would show up in Google.
I was very please with the results!
If you’re interested, here’s the Youtube video of the first time using it!
