Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Beverages in KeyKeg/PolyKeg and Dispensing Equipment

General questions about single-use kegs

Which beverages can be dispensed from single-use kegs?

KeyKeg and PolyKeg systems can handle beer, wine, sparkling wine (e.g., Secco), cocktails, kombucha, coffee and more, provided the beverage is suitable for pressurized storage.

How long does a beverage stay fresh in a keg?

Unopened and stored correctly, single-use kegs remain fresh up to 12 months. Once tapped, contents stay fresh for about 4–6 weeks if temperature and handling guidelines are followed.

Do I need CO₂ to dispense from a KeyKeg?

No. Thanks to the Bag-in-Keg™ technology, you can use compressed air to push the beverage out. The drink never contacts the gas, preventing oxidation and preserving freshness.

Can single-use kegs be reused?

No. KeyKeg and PolyKeg are designed for one-time use to ensure maximum hygiene without cleaning or returns.

How do I dispose of empty kegs?

After releasing the pressure via the safety valve, recycle the empty keg with plastics. Please follow your local recycling regulations.

What are the ecological advantages of single-use kegs versus steel kegs?

They eliminate reverse logistics, reduce transport costs and CO₂ emissions, require no cleaning/return transport, and are fully recyclable after use—making them a more sustainable choice.

Which keg sizes are available on vomkeg.de?

We offer KeyKeg and PolyKeg in 20-liter sizes.

Do you offer custom filling solutions for my own beverages?

No. We do not sell empty kegs or provide filling services for KeyKeg/PolyKeg.

Aside from the manufacturer, what’s the difference between KeyKeg and PolyKeg?

Both use Bag-in-Keg™ technology for oxidation protection. KeyKeg (OneCircle) has a proprietary coupling; PolyKeg uses standard fittings. Functionality and reliability are comparable; compatibility is the main consideration.

Questions about dispensing systems

What equipment do I need to dispense KeyKeg or PolyKeg?

Any stationary or mobile draft system with a fridge or flow-through cooler—using CO₂ or an air compressor—works, as long as you have the correct couplers (S-type or KeyKeg-type). Adapters are in our Accessories category.

Can I use the same system for wine and beer?

Yes, if you have separate lines or quick-change fittings. For best results, we recommend dedicated lines and taps.

How do I clean dispensing equipment?

Clean at least once a week with specialized cleaning agents to prevent buildup and bacteria.

What are the benefits of mobile dispensing equipment?

Ideal for catering, events, or outdoor use—portable, easy to transport, and flexible without compromising freshness.

Can I connect KeyKeg/PolyKeg to my existing system?

Yes—just ensure you have the right coupler: KeyKeg requires a KeyKeg coupler; PolyKeg fits standard S-type. Often you only need a new coupler.

What pressure is required to dispense?

1.5–2.5 bar (22–36 PSI), depending on carbonation, temperature, and line length. Use a regulator for precise adjustment.

How often should I replace gas cylinders or service compressors?

CO₂ change frequency depends on usage; compressors run continuously while powered. Check levels regularly and keep spares.

Which is better: air compressor or CO₂?

Both work—Bag-in-Keg™ isolates gas from the drink. Compressors are low-maintenance, no oxidation risk; CO₂ provides stable pressure and matches existing setups.

Space requirements & rentals

What are the minimum dimensions for installing a 20–30 l keg?

Allow about 85–90 cm height and 40–45 cm width to comfortably install and replace the keg including coupler space.

Do you rent dispensing equipment?

Yes—in Berlin region we offer mobile draft systems for rent or rent-to-buy, subject to availability.

Storage & handling

How should I store kegs?

Store upright at 4–7 °C in a dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and large temperature swings.

Do I need special accessories?

Besides the dispensing system, you need proper couplers, a pressure regulator, and optionally CO₂ cylinders or an air compressor.

Can kegs be stored lying down?

No—always store upright to keep the internal bag correctly positioned and prevent damage.

How long to chill a 20 l keg?

In a fridge about 8–12 hours; in a keg chiller only a few hours to reach 4–7 °C.

What if the keg doesn’t dispense or flow is incorrect?

Check pressure (1.5–2.5 bar), coupler seating, tap opening, temperature and line blockage. Contact support if issues persist.

What transport requirements apply to single-use kegs?

Transport upright if possible, secure against rolling, avoid extremes of temperature and heavy shocks.

VomKeg products

Why isn’t there an official Aperol Spritz keg on VomKeg.de?

“Aperol Spritz” is a registered trademark. We offer our own alternatives like Spritz Veneziano Bitter Aperitivo and Spritz Aper@it Aperitivo, closely matching the original taste.

Can I use your wines to make a classic Aperol Spritz?

Yes—use our Bianco Frizzante Extra Dry or Glera Frizzante Extra Dry Veneto IGT with a bitter aperitif and soda. Step-by-step guide: Klassischer Spritz aus Frizzante vom Keg.

How do your ready-mixed spritz cocktails differ from the classic Aperol Spritz?

Our cocktails are pre-mixed in the keg—no manual mixing, time-saving, and very close in taste, but with a unique recipe and brand.

Ordering, quantities & delivery

What are the delivery terms and times?

Within Germany: 2–5 business days, depending on region and order size. International times vary. Details under “Delivery & Payment” on our website.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No—you can order from a single keg upward.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes, discounts from pallet orders (40 kegs) onward. Contact sales at [email protected] for a quote.

How can I track my order?

After dispatch you'll receive an email with a tracking number. For issues, contact support: [email protected].

Do you sell on consignment?

No. Our cocktails amortize after selling just 3–4 kegs (≈123 servings per keg).
