Solid product
Works great with the 2 stainless steel mini kegs I have. Great for taking home brew to gatherings and being able to keep it fresh and carbonated with a small CO2 injector.

Poured foamy without changes
I tried the cap a few time with the standard dip tube/hose and all the pours were a glass of foam. Beer had had been in keg for days to weeks with no difference in pour. I believe Mike S. is on to the problem, the standard dip tube has too large of an ID and gas can squeeze into the tube under pressure. The tube is sized for the upper threaded portion not the lower smooth portion. The actual bore hole also looks very small compared to a standard corny keg.I tried a zip tie on the tube/hose but that did not improve the foam issue. I then put a small hose clamp on it but that did not work either. I swapped out the dip tube with one from another vendor with a smaller ID and put the hose clamp on. Allowed the keg to cool over night and the keg finally poured properly. Did another test with a few hours chill and still poured OK, even with a very short beer line. Prior to those changes the beer line would be foam from the disconnect to the faucet.The smooth part of the post that the hose connects to is .25in and hose from the other vendor was just slightly smaller. Even with the hose clamp the hose could spin so I think just a small ID tube might be all that is needed. I am going to order some silicone tubing with a smaller ID and see if it will work without the hose clamp. May try a piece of standard 3/16 beer line first.For what it is worth the other vendors cap had a friction fitted hose to post and did not pour foamy.edit: Did more testing with some 3/16 bevlex pushed only on the smooth part of the post and that worked well by just pushing on without a clamp. Not sure I would want to use vinyl for long term serving but proved a clamp was not needed.Bought some 3/16 silicone tubing and did the same test, tubing only inserted on the smooth part of the post. This also worked and was able to pour without excessive foam. The wall of the tubing is thin and did not feel like a very secure connection. Might be OK, but I think a 3/16 or possible 1/8 ID silicone tubing with thicker walls might be a better more secure option. This is the silicone I used.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DYAFITG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does the job, but the PRV is less effective than advertised.
This does screw on to 64oz and 128oz ManCan/Mini-keg style growlers and allows me to pressurize and dispense from these containers. Unfortunately, the pressure relief valve (PRV) does not allow a high enough pressure for quick forced carbonation.The listing states "relief valve relieves pressure above 60 psi" at the end of bullet point three at the time of my purchase, which was the entire reason I purchased this unit over the many identical units listed on Amazon. Either this is untrue, or the PRV is defective, as I am not able to achieve pressures higher than 18 PSI before the valve starts leaking. This leaves me unable to force carbonate soda water, I have to wait many hours for the Co2 to go into solution with the water instead, and I have to keep a small bottle of Co2 attached to the keg in my fridge to dispense the soda, as 18PSI doesn't leave enough gas volume to fully empty the can.I will contact the seller and see if this is just misadvertised or if I received a defective unit, and update my findings in this review.

Foamy pours. Bad dip tube seal
Looks nice. The silicon dip tube does not seal properly so there is alot of c02 mixing while dispensing. Very foamy. Looks like there is no way to seal it up. There should have been a barb on the end

Line too short
The description says that it will come with over 12" of tubing to accommodate various keg sizes. What it actually comes with is about 8" of tube that looks like it was torn off of a roll instead of cut. This will put the tube a couple of inches off of the bottom of the mini keg. Worthless. I had to order more tubing to make it work.

Doesn't last long
Worked great the first couple times, and now it doesn't. Changed the gaslocks and still nothing.

Easy to use, great value
Price on these varies based on what name is slapped on it. They all work the same and are of the same quality. Find the cheapest vendor, purchase it, then don't look back.
