The keg is a cylindrical barrel made of stainless steel with a valve in the centre of the top, the so-called keg head. The appropriate dispensing head is attached to this, which supplies carbon dioxide as a propellant gas and feeds the contents of the keg to the dispensing system via the beer pipe. The propellant gas creates an overpressure in the keg so that the contents are pressed out through a pipe inside the keg when the tap is opened.

The keg connection: How to find the right keg tap head

The keg was introduced in the UK back in 1964 and is now standard for draught beer in the catering trade in many countries. In the meantime, the keg is also becoming increasingly common in the private sector in conjunction with high-quality tapping systems. Common sizes for kegs are 30 and 50 litres.

Keg connection: What systems are available?

It's not easy to keep track of all the different connection systems. The flat tap head is probably the most common keg tap head in Germany. The combination tap head looks very similar to the flat tap head, but is an independent system. Both keg tapping heads are pushed onto the side of the valve on the keg. The basket tap head is connected with a rotary movement. The Köpi keg tapping head is actually a draft tapping head and only fits beer kegs from the König Pilsener brewery. On request, we can also supply keg tapping heads for foreign breweries, such as the popular Guinness keg tapping head. We stock Micro Matic, Toff and Hiwi keg dispense heads. You will also find stainless steel beer stopcocks and keg wall brackets in this section. Here you will find an alphabetical overview of breweries with the keg dispense head used in each case: Keg dispense head list
