How to calibrate your KegMaster™ Series XL Kegerator?

1. Press and hold both the “Cooler” and “Warmer” buttons for 5 seconds until the temperature display flashes SC.
2. Release those buttons and press the “°F/°C” button.
3. The display now shows the calibration factor, and you can change it with the “Cooler” and “Warmer” buttons.
4. Once it is at the desired value press the “°F/°C” button again to save it.

About Kegs and Kegerators

Kegerators can be used for different keg types and it’s important that you understand what types of kegs are available and the types of fittings that are required for each type. You will need to customize your kegerator to suit the kegs that you want to dispense. The keg types can be split up into two main categories: Commercial and Home Brewing Kegs

Commercial Kegs
Commercial Kegs such as the one on the left are usually used by commercial breweries and in Australia are mainly sold as 50L kegs. However, smaller sized kegs do exist, such as 20L, 25L and 30L kegs.
Commercial kegs use several different coupler types as shown below, with the most common types being the A, D and S-type couplings.
90% of all 50L commercial kegs in Australia will use either A or D-types. The S-type is most often used for imported beers from Europe or Asia.

The device to connect your beer and gas line to the keg is called a “Keg Coupler”. Make sure to know what type of keg coupler you need before purchasing the equipment so you can easily be supplied with the correct one.

A-Type
Also known as the “German Slider”, this type of keg is used by Toohey, Coopers, West End, Little Creatures, XXXX and any beer made by Lion Nathan.
To use this keg coupler, just slide the coupling over the top of the keg and engage the handle on the keg coupler.
This is the most common keg coupler type in Australia and approximately 45% of kegs in Australia would use this coupling type.

D-Type
Also known as an American Sankey, this type of keg is used by VB, Carlton Draught, and any beers made by Carlton United Breweries.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to tap the keg.
About 40% of kegs in Australia would use this coupling.

S-Type
This keg coupler is often confused with the D‐type keg coupling. It looks very similar however the “well” in the middle of the coupling is slightly deeper. These kegs are used by Asian, American, and other imported beers such as Asahi and Heineken.
To use the coupler just push the coupler against the top of the keg, twist clockwise firmly then depress the handle to tap the keg.
About 10% of kegs in Australia use this coupling.

Setting up Commercial Keg Couplers
The gas enters the side of the coupler at about a 30-degree angle and the beer exits the keg coupler out the top of the keg coupler. For that reason, you will need to connect your gas line from your CO2 regulator to the side of the keg coupler and the beer line from your tap to the top of the keg coupler.
Inside the keg coupler there may be two “one‐way” valves. The one on the left is the one-way gas valve and the one on the right is the one-way beer valve. On a kegerator system these valves are not
strictly necessary, and you do not know how to use them it is best to just take them out of the coupler.

If using barb-tails (pictured right), the keg coupler should include a hex nut, barb-tail,and rubber washer (as shown to the right).
Always ensure that the rubber washer is between the barb-tail and the coupler body.

Home Brewing Kegs
Home Brewing Kegs, such as those on the left are used by home brewers or small microbreweries. The sizes are typically 19L or 9.5L.
These kegs have 2 separate posts: one for the gas line (usually marked “IN”), and one for the beer line (usually marked “OUT”).
The posts are typically either “Ball Lock” or “Pin Lock”. The differences between these two types are explained as follows.

Ball Lock
Originally used by Pepsi for pre-mix syrups, about 85% of home brewers use this type of keg because they are easy to use, have a high availability of spare parts and are inexpensive.
The 2 posts on the kegs look very similar but are not compatible. As you can see on the photo to the left the gas post is slightly different shape to the liquid post. The gas post has a small ground notch (see arrow) which signifies the post is a gas post.
Similarly, the ball lock disconnects are also different from each other.
The grey should only be used for gas and the black should only be used for liquid.

Pin Lock
Originally used by Coca Cola for pre-mix syrups, about 10% of home brewers use this type of keg.
The 2 posts on the kegs look similar but are not compatible. As you can see on the photo to the left the gas post has 2 pins on opposite sides of the post, and the liquid post has 3 pins equally spaced around the side of the post.
Similarly, the ball lock disconnects are also different from each other.
The disconnect with the grey base should only be used for gas and the disconnect with the black base should only be used for liquid.

Setting Up Beer and Gas Lines

Using Stepless Clamps
The stainless stepless clamps that come included with the kegerator are the best clamp to use on the beer line. The stepless clamps grasp the beer line in a perfect circle meaning to do not pinch the line like worm style clamps. The stepless clamps come in different sizes so it is important you have the correct style of clamp for the beer line and barb fitting that you are using. These clamps are a single use item.

To use the clamps the best tool for the job is clamp tool (shown below in photo to left). These tools can be purchased separately (Part number 6530). If you do not have one of these tools the wire cutters (shown below to the right) will do an adequate job

As shown above, all that is required is a quick single clamp with the tool and the job is done.

Push-In fittings are a great convenient alternative to using clamps on your lines.
Using an MFL disconnect and a premium FFL to 8mm push-in fitting, just screw the threaded end of the push-in fitting firmly onto the MFL thread of the disconnect. Then push your 8mm line firmly into the other end of the push-in fitting.

WARNING
To avoid leaks, ensure your beer and gas lines are cut cleanly and square.

Plumbing your Kegerator

For Home Brew Kegs (Ball or Pin Lock Disconnects)

For Commercial Kegs (usually 50L)

Balancing your Keg System with CO2

Balancing your keg system is vital for optimum draft beer performance and is especially important when using CO2 to dispense the beer. To balance your keg system correctly we must first understand Carbonation Level and Keg Storage Temperature.

Carbonation Level
Different beers are carbonated at different levels. The carbonation is measured in “volumes of carbonation”. Most draft beers have a carbonation level of about 2.6‐2.8 volumes of carbonation. (see Table 1.1).

Keg Storage Temperature
Keg Storage temperature is best measured using a thermometer. Put a full glass of water in the fridge with the keg for 2hrs with a thermometer in the glass. Take a reading with the thermometer. This will give a true reflection of the keg storage temperature. In order to pour without excessive head, the keg storage temperature of most beers should be between 0°C up to 2.5°C. Some very lightly carbonated beers such as English Ales can be dispensed as high as 8°C.

Once you know what carbonation level is (if you do not know assume 2.6 volumes of carbonation) and your keg storage temperature use Table 1.1 to work out the correct dispense pressure. For example, if your keg storage temperature is 1C and the carbonation level is 2.6 volumes then the equilibrium pressure is 70kPa (10.2PSI). The dispense pressure should be 10% above the equilibrium pressure. So, you should set your regulator dispense pressure at 77kPa (11.2PSI).

Setting your dispense pressure below the equilibrium pressure will cause the beer to go flat over time. Setting the dispense pressure above the equilibrium pressure will cause the beer to become more carbonated over time.

NOTE: Many people make the mistake of using the keg dispense pressure to increase or decrease the flow speed of the beer out of the tap. THIS IS INCORRECT. When using CO2 to dispense, the dispense pressure must be set according to Table 1.1. The method to adjust the speed of flow is to adjust the beer line length and diameter.

Beer line diameter and length adjustment
The beer line on a kegerator is not just a hose to get beer from the keg to tap. It also performs the important function of applying “flow resistance”. With too little flow resistance the beer will come out of the tap too fast. With too much flow resistance the beer will come out of the tap too slow. Small internal diameter (ID) beer line will apply more flow resistance and longer beer line will also apply more flow resistance. Most domestic systems work well with the following line length/diameter: 4mm ID Beer Line: 1.5‐2.5 Meters 5mm ID Beer Line: 3‐4.5 Meters 6mm ID Beer Line: 5‐10 Meters Small ID beer line is often the best choice for kegerators as it means the customer can use a shorter beer line which is less messy inside the fridge. It also minimizes the amount of beer sitting in the beer lines.

Using 4mm ID beer line you will have 12.5ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 22.5ml. Using 5mm ID beer line you will have 20ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 70ml. Using 6mm ID beer line you will have 28ml per meter in the beer line and a total of approx. 210ml.

For the above reasons 4mm ID beer line is often the best choice however the small ID makes it difficult for some customers to fit the ID over the barb fittings on the keg coupler or ball lock disconnects.
If using 4mm ID, the user may need to stretch the beer line open slightly so it can fit onto the barbs of some of the fittings. The perfect tool for this job is a set of needle nose pliers. Heat the beer line in some boiling water for 30 seconds to soften then push onto the needle nose pliers to stretch the internal diameter. Open the handles on the pliers to further stretch the beer line.

Attaching and Removing Taps from the Font

Attaching and removing the taps from the font may be necessary if you need to change the beer line or taps at any time throughout the life of the kegerator.

Step 1 Remove the cap from the top of the font.
(See photo to the left)

Step 2 Feed the beer line up through the bottom of the font and place through slimline nut and convex collet before going through the tap hole.
(See photo to right)

Step 3
Attach beer line to back of the tap, then push the threaded shank of the tap into the tap hole.

Step4
On the inside of the front, place the convex collet onto the tap shank, then tighten the slimline nut to the tap shank to secure to the font.

NOTE: It is important that the user does not over‐tighten the faucet collar on the tap. Over tightening of this part will prevent the free and full movement ofthe tap handle. Over tightening will also restrict the tap handle movement preventing the tap from completely opening.

IMPORTANT – C02 Pressure Check
After setting up the kegerator it is important to do a CO2 pressure check to make sure your system holds pressure. This is extremely important as it will determine that you have no leaks. This can be done in a few simple steps.

Step 1: With all your hoses and the keg connected turn the pressure on the CO2 regulator up to 140kPa (about 20psi) then turn off the valve on the top of the CO2 gas cylinder.

Step 2: Wait 2 hours and check that the pressure on the CO2 regulator has not dropped since step 1.
If the pressure has dropped over the 2-hour period then go over all the hose connections with soapy water and attend to any CO2 leaks found, then repeat the above.
CO2 Consumption Rate

The CO2 cylinder that you use with your kegerator can be used for 2 purposes:

1. Carbonating your beer or other drink in the Keg.
2. Dispensing your beer or other drink from the Keg.
3. If you are brewing your own home brew, then you will most likely use the CO2 gas cylinder to carbonate your beer. This will consume approximately 6 grams of CO2 per Litre.

If you purchase your beer from a commercial brewery, then it will already be carbonated.

Dispensing your beer will consume approximately 6 grams per litre as well regardless of whether you brewed it yourself or not.

Keg King sells 2 different CO2 cylinder sizes:

1. 2.6kg Gas Cylinder
   For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 200 Litres.
   For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 400Litres

2. 6kg Gas Cylinder
   For home brew this will carbonate and dispense approximately 500 Litres. For commercial beer that comes already carbonated this will dispense about 900Litres

• Tap / Faucet Plugs and Brushes
  During periods where the kegerator is not used the faucets can be plugged to prevent contamination or fruit flies getting into the tap. This handy little device fits all tap sizes and shapes and is made from long lasting silicon (See photo to left).
  We also sell a faucet brush that can be used to clean out the taps. (See photo to right)

• Beer Line Cleaning Equipment
  To keep your kegerator in top condition it is recommended to clean your beer lines out between kegs. Keg King supply cleaning chemicals that are perfect for the job. We also sell beer line cleaning caps (See photo to left) that you can use on an empty PET bottle and use this to clean out your beer lines or if you are using commercial keg couplers then you should try our 15 liter wash out kegs (see photo to right).
  These useful parts will ensure you maintain the quality of your beer.

Troubleshooting

Premium XL” section
Ice forms too regularly| If excess ice forms too regularly:

1.  Avoid opening the door unnecessarily.

Opening the door introduces moist air that condenses and forms ice.

2. Ensure there are no gaps in the door seal that may allow ingress of moist air.

3.  Ensure fonts and/or the font hole are well sealed from moist air ingress (especially with under-bench installs).

4. If the above has not helped, set the temperature to a slightly higher temperature, or try calibrating your KegMaster™ (see section “Calibrating your KegMaster™ Series XL Kegerator”)

Colder temperatures increase moisture condensation and freezing.

The KegMaster™ is too warm| Set the temperature to a slightly lower temperature, or try calibrating your KegMaster™ (see section “Calibrating your KegMaster™ Series XL Kegerator”)
