Replace your silicone corny keg lid o-rings now! For a limited time we are giving away 2 free o-rings with every order.
1. Put two of these into your shopping cart:
www.kegland.com.au/products/l...
2. Then use this discount code:
LOW2AMNESTY
We will have a 1 month amnesty period where we will give these o-rings away for FREE with any www.kegland.com.au order.
Using silicone your oxygen sensitive beers (defined by 1ppm oxygen ingress in 19L Keg) will be noticeably damaged by oxygen in 1 week. Switch over to our Yellow Low2 O-rings and your beer will last for 2-6 months. Low2 -rings have 27 Times better oxygen barrier which will keep your beverage "fresher for longer".
This video tackles some of the misconceptions about oxygen transmission. Many customers thing that because your beer container is under pressure oxygen cannot get in but this is a total false. Oxygen will dissolve into O-rings and then re-evaporate off the surface of the o-rings and into the beverage.
We often talk about purging oxygen from kegs, fermenters and other vessels but nobody talks about the huge amount of oxygen that transmits through silicone rubber. The o-rings we use are just as important as things like oxygen free transfers. There is not much point in taking a lot of care with oxygen free transfers if your storage vessel is fundamentally flawed.
Many home brewers and even commercial breweries like silicone due to the great spring properties, high temperature resistance and chemical resistance but simply do not realize they are getting these benefits at the cost of high oxygen transmission rate.
Corny kegs are a great industry standard used by many craft breweries and home brewers. In many respects the large opening make them ideal for home brewing, cleaning and getting inside but with that said they large opening means huge amount of cross sectional area and this large area is technically a weak spot in an otherwise perfect storage container especially if the o-ring material is not made from a high barrier elastomer like Low2 O-rings.
