FERRODAY Carbonation Keg Lid for Corny Keg Lid Carbonation Stone Beer Force Carbonation Keg Lid Diffusion Stone Carbonating Keg Lid Carbonator Stainless Steel 304 Keg Lid for Cornelius Keg - 20" Tube

Before I got this, I would use the output tube to carbonate the water to make it bubble instead of just relying on the air in the head space. That would still take a couple of hours of shaking and waiting before the bubbles would be not worth the effort. With this, in under and hour and maybe a gentle shake or two it's ready to go into the fridge to cool overnight. Well carbonated even at room temperature and perfect by the morning.

Pressure release valve is misaligned have to wiggle it to make it fit, also has scratches on it. Otherwise delivery was as expected.

I've bought 3 of these now, and I am very pleased. Room temperature carbonation goes from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 days. Obviously, even faster when chilling your keg. I've had good seals and no product problems, but if I did, I would rate my review on my interactions with the seller rather than the original defect. This is a quality carbonation stone setup for a good price.

It's easy for the pressure release valve to get stuck, but otherwise the lid works well and is an improvement over standard corny kegs. It's not too difficult to reset the release valve, but do be mindful that you're not accidentally constantly venting.

I normally force carb with the set it and forget method, over the course of 2-3 weeks. I've never had great luck with the burst carbing methods where you crank it to 30 PSI and shake it, etc. They always end up either way over carbed, or way under carbed. Anyway, I wanted to get a beer carbed for a competition quickly, so figured I'd spend the $25 to get this. With Prime shipping, I got it the next day. The nice thing about it is it carbs fast and there's no way to overcarb, because you never set the PSI higher than you normally would. You just hook it up, and set the PSI at like 4, then turn it up 2 PSI every 2 hours. I had great luck with my first beer over night, so I ended up moving the lid to 2 other kegs I had sitting in my keezer, slow carbing. I just carbed to 2 PSI over my normal serving pressure, 1 PSI for the "wetting pressure", and 1 to account for the small loss when swapping the lid. If you don't want to swap the lid, these are cheap enough you can just buy one for each keg. They come with the lid, hose, stone and a worm clamp to connect the hose with the lid. I didn't find the worm clamp to be necessary, since the lid post is about an inch long. The lid itself seems pretty high quality, I don't really forsee any issues with it. The silicone tubing was nice. It wasn't super sticky like most silicone tubing usually is. Between moving it from keg to keg, I would simply put the whole kit and caboodle in my 1 gallon pot and boil it. Fits nicely in a 1 gallon bag for storage (you don't want to touch the stone or get anything on it, or you can clog the tiny pores). If you are a careful observer of my photos, you will notice that I use pin lock kegs. It's somewhat unfortunate that these only come in ball locks, but that seems to be all any of the different brands support. I played around with trying to swap out the ball lock, with a pin lock, but it didn't seem like I'd be able to unscrew it. There's nothing on the bottom to hold on to, except for the post. However, every pin lock user should have at least one quick disconnect that screws on/off, so they can swap it with a ball lock, since that is what the new gadgets seem to support. I like to go one step further and have a luer lock disconnect installed on one gas line, so I can hook whatever I want up to it. It makes it very handy for easily attaching stuff. You can see it in action in one of the images, search Google (luer lock beer keg) for more info on setting one up. I recommend them for ball lock users too!
