- Poke plastic piece through the bung into the mini keg.
- Tape the pliers to protect the Rubber Bung.
- Remove the rubber bung gently with the pliers.
- Fill with water, turn upside-down, open the spout for airflow and swirl the keg, place hand under the flowing water to catch the plastic piece or use a screen in the drain. (New bungs can be purchased online.)
- Rinse and thoroughly sanitize your mini keg.
- Refill with your delicious home brew.
- Add 12 grams of sugar in 2 TBS. of water.
- Condition at least 2 weeks.
- Refrigerate and enjoy!
Notes – Adding more sugar, in some cases, has lead to kegs warping and potentially exploding.
