EdgeStar FAQ

Who is EdgeStar best for?

EdgeStar's KC2000SS full-size kegerator chills commercial Sankey D-system kegs into the low 30s °F with a 5 lb CO2 cylinder and stainless draft tower. Best for: Dedicated home bar draft from 1/2, 1/4, or 1/6 barrel commercial kegs.

Is KegCan.com affiliated with EdgeStar?

No. KegCan.com is independent, EdgeStar doesn’t pay for placement, and all brand names and trademarks belong to their owners.

How long does beer stay fresh and carbonated in a pressurized mini keg?

Unlike a standard glass jug growler—which loses carbonation within 24 to 36 hours after opening—a CO2-pressurized stainless mini keg (like the TMCRAFT 128 oz or GrowlerWerks uKeg) maintains positive CO2 headspace pressure and keeps oxygen out, preserving fresh draft carbonation for 2 to 3 weeks when refrigerated.
