Smooth beer pour from a KegLand kegs, showcasing the perfect balance of carbonation and head, capturing the essence of a refreshing and enjoyable drinking experience

KegLand Talos Kegs

KegLand has partnered with Talos to provide customers a sustainable one way keg option that maximisers shelf life and preserves the beer quality over time.  Unlike other one way kegs that have a permeable PET wall these Bag-In-Kegs have an impermeable laminated metal film to ensure no oxygen gets in and no CO2 loss occurs through the PET wall.

Dispensing from KegLand Talos Kegs

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Prepare the Keg: Remove the dust/anti-tamper cap from the top of the keg.
  2. Sanitise: Thoroughly spray the top of the keg spear with a high-quality sanitiser, such as Superkill Ethanol Spray (KL05371).
  3. Connect the Coupler: Take your sanitised A-Type Coupler, slide it onto the keg spear, and push the lever down firmly to engage the connection.
  4. Enjoy: Open your tap and pour your beer!

Important Side Notes

  • Bladder System (Bag-in-Keg): KegLand One-Way kegs use an internal bladder rather than a traditional dip tube. This means the dispensing gas never touches your beer, this means you can never over carbonate your beer.
  • Managing Foam: If CO2 "breaks out" of the beer inside the keg, it will collect at the top of the bladder. Because there is no dip tube, this gas is pushed out first, resulting in a foamy pour. This is due to insufficient dispensing pressure.
  • Pressure Settings: Commercial beers are often carbonated more highly than homebrew. If you are pouring gas/foam, you likely need to increase your CO2 pressure to keep the gas dissolved in the liquid. You will then need to pour until the gas at the top of the bladder is removed.
  • Pour Speed: If your beer is pouring too fast and creating foam, you may need to increase your beer line length or slightly decrease the pressure to balance the system (but not below the pressure of carbonation).
Beverage Recomended Dispensing pressure
 Most Beers (carbonated to 2.4-2.8 vol of CO2) 15 psi
Highly carbonated drinks (RTDs, some ciders etc) 20 psi
Nitro Pour Beers 30 psi

 

How to fill KegLand Talos Kegs - Using Filling Coupler

  1. Sanitise the filling coupler with Superkill Ethanol Spray (KL05371)
  2. Place the keg upside down on a solid surface or Talos filling table
  3. Connect the filling coupler to the keg valve.
  4. Open the liquid ball valve.
  5. Slowly open the gas ball valve, ensuring there is back pressure to prevent CO2 outbreak and foaming inside the bladder. IMPORTANT: Ensure there is a minimum back pressure of 5psi whilst filling, this applies to all beverages.
  6. The keg will automatically stop filling once full. IMPORTANT: Do not underfill kegs and then transport them.
  7. Disconnect the filling coupler once the keg has been filled.
  8. Turn the keg upright and weigh the keg to confirm correct fill level.
  9. Turn the keg upright and sanitise the keg spear head with Superkill Ethanol Spray (KL05371).
  10. Place the snap cap/keg seal over the keg spear head.

KegLand Recycling Program

KegLand is committed to ensuring one way kegs are recycled in a responsible way.  KegLand one way kegs are more than 85% recyclable and compliant with ISO18604.  Once empty, you will need to pull the red tab to despressurise the keg. To ensure one way kegs are recycled it is the best practice is to take apart the kegs to separate the various different plastic types.  Once the kegs have been disassembled and separated into the different plastic types they are substantially easier to recycle which increases the recycling rates substantially.  KegLand also offer a free service whereby if you return the used keg to (KegLand 410 Princes Hwy, Noble Park North, VIC, 3174, Australia) us we will take apart the keg and ensure that at least 85% or more of the kegs are responsibly recycled.
