Stainless Steel Spare Keg (Keg Only)
Spare kegs are how serious homebrewers actually keep beer flowing. Brew, fill, store, repeat — without breaking down your tap system every time. The Keg Smiths Stainless Steel Spare Keg is the same 304 food-grade stainless body as our full Premium Draft Mini Keg System, sold standalone with a stainless cap so you can stockpile multiple beverages and rotate them through one tap.
Why a spare keg
- Brew once, pour forever: Have a stout, an IPA, and a cold brew filled and waiting in the fridge — swap them onto your tap as you go.
- Real food-grade 304 stainless: Same material as the original keg in your system. Won't rust, won't impart flavor, lasts for years.
- Multiple sizes: Pick the 128 oz (one gallon) for parties or homebrew batches; the 64 oz for solo or weekend use.
- 64 oz insulated option: The insulated 64 oz version keeps cold beverages cold longer when you're packing one for the day.

How to Use

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this come with the tap and regulator?
No — this is the keg only (with stainless cap). It's designed to fit your existing Keg Smiths tap system. For a complete setup, see the Premium Draft Mini Keg System.
Will it fit my older Keg Smiths tap system?
Yes — the keg neck dimensions have stayed consistent across the lineup.
Powder-coated or bare stainless?
The 128 oz comes in White or Black powder-coated finishes. The interior is bare 304 stainless either way.
