How do you carbonate A Corny keg?

Alternatively, there are corny keg lids with a gas post welded on, that’s connected to a hose and carbonation stone. You fit this lid to the keg, hook up the CO2 to the gas post on the lid, carbonate, and when you’re done then swap the lid with a regular corny lid.

How to move a carbonation stone from one keg to another?

Some stores are offering carbonation stones with a 1/4 MFL thread so that they can be removed from the end of the hose rather than having to remove the hose itself, which might make moving it between kegs easier. Alternatively, there are corny keg lids with a gas post welded on, that’s connected to a hose and carbonation stone.

How do you attach the lid to the keg?

We constructed the lid by welding on a 1/4″ barb to the underside of the lid. To that we attached 2′ of 1/4″ ID tubing that attaches to a .5 micron carb stone on the other end. The flexible tubing, as opposed to rigid tubing, allows the lid inserted into any cornelius style keg.

How to use a diffusion stone for a keg?

You will need a diffusion stone and a lenth of 1/4 ID beverage tubing about the length of the height of the keg. Attach the tubing to the end of the gas dip tube and place the stone on the other end. You then set the desired pressure on your regulator and force carb as usual.
