The BeerBox is a new system designed to give you the benefits of kegging your homebrew without having to deal with the space requirements and costs of setting up a kegerator. The process is very easy and we have included detailed instructions on how to fill and use in the Additional Information tab above.

The front panel allows for a 4”x 4” label for your brew which can be easily viewed. The BeerBox™ fits in a standard refrigerator making storing your home brew easier than ever. The portability of your home brew is simple, just grab it by its ergonomically designed handle go out the door with the hose tap adapter and tap, you can pour fresh home brew from inside a cooler with ease.
Note that the CO2 Injector accepts 16 Gram CO2 Cartridges. (GAS019B)
Our Complete BeerBox™ Kit can only be shipped via ground transportation due to the CO2 cartridges contained within. Therefore, it can only be sent to the contiguous US (no international orders).
Carbonating in your BeerBox: Transfer your homebrew from your fermentation vessel into the BeerBox™ via a clean and sanitized hose. Pour half of your priming sugar/water solution into one BeerBox™ and the balance into the other (for a 5 gallon batch). Our experience shows that it takes a good 30 days to reach an appropriate level of carbonation. There is no need for another vessel, going straight from fermentation to BeerBox™ works for naturally carbonating your homebrewed beer.
Transferring from a keg into your BeerBox: When you are ready to transfer from the keg (after carbonating) push some CO2 into BeerBox™ with injector then remove injector so you are ready to release pressure through the Schrader Valve. The Oxygen will rise to the top as the CO2 is heavier. You can alternatively tip the BeerBox™ up and release the oxygen out of the faucet now; then put BeerBox™ back on its feet.
Use Teflon pipe tape on the outside threads of the BeerBox™ faucet. Attach the hose using a 1/2″ clamp (not included) to prevent dripping. Attach the other end of the hose to a black, liquid out ball lock connector (with a second 1/2″ clamp). Then attach black connector to liquid-out side of the keg. (Alternatively you can place a growler filler in your tap and proceed as directed.) Be sure keg has pressure connected and BeerBox™ faucet is closed.
Now you can pull the BeerBox™ faucet forward to a locked open position and beer should begin to flow into the BeerBox™ from your keg. Depress the Schrader Valve to release pressure and allow the BeerBox™ to fill.
xIn both cases we recommend that you bleed off some pressure before serving!
