Carbonation Lids

The carbonation lid allows homebrewers to force carbonate their kegs so that they can serve beer quicker than usual. A carbonation lid is usually used with a micron stone, so it can be moved from one keg to another. This removes the hassle of attaching and removing the line from the dip tube. With this lid, you can simply connect the gas quick disconnect to the fitting on the lid for the carbonation to start.

Also called a carbonator, it is important to pre-boil the stone for at least two minutes before use. This is to ensure that the stone is free from bacteria that may cause contamination or from any residual oil that can affect the flavour of the beer. Attach the lid onto the keg that is filled with beer then set the PSI on the regulator at 4 PSI while attaching the gas hose to connect the lid. Leave the keg under this pressure for about an hour.
