20 Liter Keg Dimensions
20 liter keg dimensions make them 8.50 inches / 216 millimeters high. Its diameter is 15.55 inches. Its diameter is the same as a 25 liter keg. These figures are for beer kegs.
Definition
A keg is a container with a cylindrical shape. Some of them are made of aluminum and are somewhat similar to a barrel. The specifications of kegs vary among countries, so keg sizes in the US will not be the same as that in others. Even in the same country, the measurements can vary because breweries use different standards. The US full keg or half barrel has 15.5 U.S. gallons. This is the same as 124 US pints and 165 12-oz. beers.
Other Types of Kegs
Aside from 20 liter keg dimensions, there are many other types being manufactured. The 5 liter mini keg is designed specifically for retail sales. Mini type variants are available. Some of them have a pressurized tap while others have a spout. These kegs are recyclable because they are made of aluminum. In Canada, this type is known as “Bubba”.
The beer ball can hold 5.2 gallons (usually). This plastic ball can hold 55 12 oz beers. However, these dimensions can also be obtained in other sizes. To serve beer, the ball has to be tapped first. Poney kegs can hold fluids up to 7.75 U.S. gallons (29.33 liters). It is equal to a quarter of a barrel. It is half the regular beer keg. It is good for up to eighty two 12 ounce cups. Its shape is the same as a full keg.
Other Information about Keg Beer
The term keg beer is applicable not just to 20 liter keg dimensions, but any beer served from a keg that is pressurized. These beers are often pasteurized or filtered. Either one of them will do the same thing: keep the yeast inactive. This prolongs the product’s life. It should be stressed that casks and kegs differ.
A keg is fitted with one opening in the middle of its top. A flow pipe is connected to it. After fermentation, artificial pressuring is applied. Carbon dioxide or a combination of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide is used.
In contemporary beer dispensing, kegs are made of metal. They are pressurized to maintain carbonation. The CO2 in the beer determines the amount of CO2 pressure. When dispensing high stouts, high pressure nitrogen is used. This is also the case with creamy beers.
