YOUR BREWKEG
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
Please watch the brewing videos on our
website www.williamswarn.com/TheWilliamsWarn/BrewKeg10 before you make
your first brew. This will make the instructions
below easier to understand and assist you in
making a great brew first time and every time.
You can also use the videos as the instruction
manual rather than this printed manual, by
using the play and pause buttons on the video
to help you perform each step. The printed
words below are in fact generally the narration
to the videos.
SETTING UP YOUR BREWKEG10™
Unpack the BrewKeg10™ from its packaging.
It consists of three parts being the main
vessel, the lid and the sediment bottle. See
the image on the Process Summary page. The
BrewKeg10 is ready to use once unpacked.
Means to receive CO2 e.g. either a CO2 cylinder
or soda stream bottle with a gas regulator and
gas line with grey quick-disconnect fitting.
•
Means to dispense e.g. a draft beer line and
tap (and a fridge) or alternatively a kegerator
with a draft beer tap.
•
A set of ingredients for the BrewKeg10™.
•
A means to maintain temperature between
18-28ºC (64-82ºF) e.g. a heat-belt and a
temperature controller (sold by WilliamsWarn)
can be used to control the temperature inside
a kegerator or fridge during fermentation.
A room or cupboard with a thermostatically
controlled portable heater can also be used.
•
A standard 1.5L (51 fl. oz.) kitchen kettle,
scissors, a thermometer.

NOTES REGARDING THE GAS-IN
AND BEVERAGE-OUT PORTS.
It is a good idea to regularly check the state
of the O-rings on the gas-in and beverageout ports (these are also called posts).
The O-rings are very inexpensive parts and
should be regularly checked to ensure that
they aren’t worn or frayed or split. If they
don’t form a good seal gas or beverage can
leak out around the ports. A gas leak can
contribute to emptying of your CO
and a liquid leak will make a mess on your
floor. These parts are consumable parts and
can be purchased through our website.
It is also a good practice to wet the O-rings
with a little water when you put on and
take off the quick-disconnect fittings, as
shown at the beginning of the Step 1: Clean
instructional video. This will allow the rings
to last longer before they need replacing.

Step 1 – Clean
A. Firstly, set up your CO
Figure 2. Ensure the gas line with the grey
quick-disconnect fitting is inserted all the way
into the push-lock fitting under the adjusting
knob on the gas regulator as shown. If you are
using a large CO
regulator to the cylinder securely and open
the cylinder top valve. If you are using a soda
stream bottle, first screw the special adaptor
onto the regulator well and then screw the
complete regulator set-up onto the soda stream
bottle securely. Please see the video on our
website or on vimeo (vimeo.com/
for a clear explanation on how to set up a soda
stream bottle to a regulator. Then set the pressure
on the low pressure gauge (the one sitting
above the adjusting knob) to 1.1 bar (
by turning the adjusting knob clockwise.
Please note that it is always most accurate to
set the pressure by winding the adjusting knob

anti-clockwise first to release pressure and be
under the set-point and then wind it clockwise
to increase the pressure to its set-point. Once you
have set the pressure, your CO
ready to provide pressure to the BrewKeg
each time the grey quick-disconnect fitting is
connected to the gas-in port on the BrewKeg
lid. The gas-in port is the port with the notches
on the hex of the fitting (see Figure 1). Note: if
you need to remove the gas line from the regulator,
push in the end of the fitting and pull the tubing
out at the same time.
Caution: When connecting the Gas dispense
line to the BrewKeg™ or any other Keg, DO
NOT connect to the liquid post. If this is done
and the regulator is not on or not set to your
desired dispense pressure, beer can flow back
into the regulator and cause damage. If you are
concerned about this you can buy a non-return
valve from our website and insert it into the line
to prevent this happening.
B. Start to boil 1L (34 fl. oz.) of water in the
kitchen kettle.
C. Remove any pressure in the vessel by pressing
the button on the VPRV (indicated in Figure
supply as shown in

1) until all pressure is released. Remove the
lid by turning its locking knob anti-clockwise
and slipping the lid out from under the rim.
Ensure the vessel butterfly valve is closed and
then remove the sediment bottle (it screws off
clockwise looking down on it).
D. Place the BrewKeg10™ over a sink or drain
and open the butterfly valve. Use a water source
to rinse off any beverage residue or yeast ring
from a previous brew. The water source can be
for example, a tap or a water hose or a rinse
bottle full of water. Drain all the liquid out of
the vessel and close the vessel butterfly valve.
Fill the vessel cone with the tap water and dip
the non-scratch sponge into the water in the
cone and scrub the entire internal surface of
the vessel with the cold water. It is important
to especially scrub off any yeast ring from a
previous brew. Open the vessel butterfly valve
again, dump this water and then rinse the
internal surface of the vessel with water again.
Then close the vessel butterfly valve. The idea
here is to scrub off most of the visible solids
and beverage residue from a previous brew.
Wash the lid with cold water until visibly clean.
Next, remove the VPRV and pour boiling water
into the VPRV socket and over the seal end of
the fitting. After this, re-fit the VPRV.
