Periodic Hydrotesting Requirement
All pressure vessels should be hydrotested periodically. This is a very simple process and it's nothing to be feared. We recommend that this container be pressure tested every 2 years up to 6 bar. The instructions for this are:
1. Remove RED prv and fit GREY prv (you can borrow one of these from a 19L keg.
2. Fill keg to the absolute brim with water. DO NOT forget this step.
3. Use bike pump, CO2 regulator, air compressor or any other pressure source to pressurize the keg to 6 bar.
4. Hold the keg at 6 bar for 1 minute
5. Release the pressure and immediately remove GREY prv and swap back to RED prv.
Note: This test should be done with the keg and water in the keg at room temperature 15-30C

"4L is ideal for the overflow beer after filling the 19L corny keg, and means I can carbonate until ready to share at a mate's house"
"Good quality for the price; works as it should. Fits in a normal fridge and a camp fridge."
"This size is perfect for overflow vessels when doing a closed transfer from a fermenter to your kegs. Plus the bonus of being able to serve from it makes it a perfect brew tester using the excess beer that does not fit in the keg."
"Got these to take camping, 2 fit in a 40L fridge, jyst the right size. Easy setup. Great if doing a 23L brew with a 19L keg."
"Got size great for small setup"
"Great little cost-effective keg."
"I have a friend who lives out of town in an isolated place, so when I make a brew I make extra and fill this bad boy, chill and take out to him, he reckons it's better than sliced bread, which he makes himself."
"Great item just wish you would cut the extractor tube to the correct length."
"I purchased this 4L keg for the purpose of using it to flush out the beer line of the bottle filling gun with cleaner and sanitizer. It is supplied with all the necessary connections and assembly is easy. As it's so reasonably priced this could be a good way to have a go at kegging. The small size makes it easy to store in a fridge."
