Common BLADE KEG QUESTIONS
How do Blade Kegs work?
For information on how the Blade Machine works check out our review here
What are Blade Kegs?
Blade Kegs are 8L reinforced plastic kegs that slot into the Blade Beer Machine for dispensing quality draught beer.
How long do Blade Kegs last?
When delivered generally have a good 3-6 months as a best before the date when they are delivered. Once the keg is installed the beer will stay fresh for at least 30 days.
How much beer will one Blade Keg produce?
After installation, you will need to clear a little foam as the internal line that carries the beer to the top of the keg is filled with carbon dioxide before you tap it. The first-half glass to full glass can be foam on a new keg but after that, you can look forward to approximately 14 pints of goodness from your keg.
How to store Blade Kegs?
Kegs should be stored in a cool dry environment, when you are close to installing one of your kegs it’s best to pop it in the fridge overnight or 24 hours to cool to 4 degrees. This means the cooling process in the machine after installation is super quick.
Can I save money with subscriptions or bulk buys?
Some of the stockists we have mentioned do Bulk Buy offers but at the time of writing there are no discount subscriptions available for the Blade unlike for The Sub
Can you put Blade Kegs in the freezer?
It is not recommended kegs are cooled in the freezer as any freezing could damage the casing

Can blade kegs be refilled?
Kegs can’t be refilled and need to be disposed of after use. They are unlike 5L mini-kegs which can sometimes be re-used.
Are Blade Kegs Recyclable?

Can I take a Blade Keg out of a Blade Machine before it’s empty?
You can remove a Blade Keg from the machine but it’s not recommended to re-install and consume after this is done. Installing the keg keeps the beer at the right pressure and freshness and removing and re-installing may mean this is compromised for future pours.
