AIH New Double Rubber Handle 2.5 Gal Keg

Very well built and functional small keg. Fits in my short under-counter refrigerator and in my picnic cooler.

Came very well packaged. Absolute perfect condition. Seal works perfectly. Can’t ask for much more.

Great keg! Perfect size to take with you. Fits in a fridge easy enough or in a cooler camping.

I brew in 10-12 gallon batches. Great to have an overflow keg to hold the excess without tying up a 5 gallon keg. Mine was brand new, dime bright and ready for work, which is more than some of the people at my office.

I ordered this so I could split 5 gallon batches for treatments, great for the jalapeno citra pale ale recipe. The size was perfect for my keezer so that it could fit on top of the "hump" where the refrigeration components are held. Solid build and handy hang tab on the lid make for convenient use of an infusion ball. I'll definitely be buying another one!

They work as expected although I only buy on sale or they are too expensive.

This thing is great! I have a kegerator at home and I love this little keg. I use it to make mixed drinks or seltzer water and the 2.5 gal size is amazing because you don't necessarily need 5 Gal of seltzer or margaritas on tap. It's shorter size allows it to fit on the shelf in my kegerator (which I made from a converted chest freezer) which eliminated a bunch of empty space. I also had a little mix-up with the shipping and AIH handled it very nicely. Will definitely be coming back when I need things in the future.

Sometimes you just have a few gallons left over and don't feel like bottling, but you want the keg space. Or you want to take something to an event and don't want to lug around a larger keg. Either way these work great for whatever the need.

I have 4 of these and love them. Perfect size, they fit in fridge and I built a jockey box around them. Only problem, I had one with a manufacture flaw that broke. I had a pinhole in the bottom and not only lost a keg of beer but had foam all over the garage. The garage smelled GREAT though.

Do recommend less expensive than pico.

I have a 4 tap jockey box and these 2.5 gal kegs are ideal to transport with the jockey box. The kegs hold a perfect amount of beer for a get together with a few dozen people.

I have several used kegs (from elsewhere) and I always have some sort of issue with holding pressure long term. Being my first new keg, I may replace my old one with new too. Works great and is much more portable.

I now have four of these kegs. I have been pleased with their workmanship and with the quality of the materials. Super easy to handle.

Makes me wish I never bought my 5 gallon keg. Just use two of these. They easily fit in the refrigerator!

Perfect size for half batches and it fits easily in my mini fridge.

This 2½ gallon keg is great for sharing a batch of brew. Also, I get older, this half sized keg is easier to move around in my kegerator. I have three and suggest buying at least two.

I can split a batch between this keg and bottles. Great little keg.

Fantastic response time! Superior customer service!! Prompt shipping!!! Phew, I need a beer. Way to go, team!

These kegs are well made and handy. I like how easily they can be chilled in a normal fridge since they are compact. I just ordered my 3rd one!

I purchased this keg for smaller test batches when I am trying to nail down a recipe. It uses a conventional oval lid and standard ball lock posts. It has a curved pick up tube that locates in a well sump in the bottom center of the keg. It's a nice little keg.

Great build quality, exactly what I was looking for. Only downside is it had a small ding from shipping. Filled with Co2 and it fixed that issue! I'd buy another.

Highly recommend these kegs from AIH.

Holds beer!

I have three of these 2.5 gallon kegs they are great for splitting batches and experiment with the same beer.

I love these kegs.

I have used many kegs - old, new, used - and these are as good as they get. Excellent fit and finish, no worries about holding pressure or quality of build. And if you can get them on sale, they are even more valuable. This small size is great.

Was in the market for one of the larger 128oz. growlers for a New Years Eve get together down at our Galveston beach house. Didn't really want to bring a whole 5 Gal. keg but at the same time, wanted to bring enough to serve 6 people over the 2.5 to 3 days we'll be there. This little 2.5 keg fits the bill perfectly. Already used it at 2 pre-parties and it's worked like a charm and gotten so many compliments, I quit counting. It came clean and under pressure. all posts / o-rings are perfect. I use one of the mini-regs & 74 gr. CO2 bulbs for dispensing from the 2.5 keg but I fully carb the entire batch first in a 5 gallon keg then just use the 2.5 keg as an Uber Growler. ***** The ONLY drawback I've had so far was the lip of the keg opening. I thought people were exaggerating about it being sharp...NOPE! I cut the H E double toothpicks out of my palm when I was cleaning it the first time. As I was actually warned about this MULTIPLE times in the reviews and I chose to ignore it, I feel that, honestly, the accident was my own fault and that taking a star away for something that is my own fault wouldn't be fair. I'll attend to the issue after a trip to that big box hardware store for a few Dremel sander wheels. I would definitely recommend this little keg and will be buying another in the near future. As always, AIH had my order out and shipped FAST and on it's way.

These little guys are great. I now have 3 of these. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of them had a small dent near the bottom. Doesn't hurt the performance of the keg though. Be careful of the inside lip of the opening, it's very sharp.

I purchased this keg so I can now keg my small test/experimental batches instead of bottling them all. Keg works great and would buy more if I needed them.

I love these 2.5 gal kegs. I regularly brew 5 gallon batches, and often will want to do experiments. The 2.5 gal kegs allow me to split a batch, reduce the headspace to minimize oxidation, and make slight adjustments with a control batch. They also store easier in a standard refrigerator, which makes them more portable, or stuffed in a small bucket of ice. I highly recommend. Note, two stacked on top of each other is about 2 inches taller than one 5 gallon corny.
