The SUB setup

1. Pre-chill your 2L kegs

Pre-chill your 2L kegs for 6-10 hours before you want to load your beer into The SUB. This means as soon as you are ready to use The SUB your beer is chilled and you can start tapping at optimum temperature, this will reduce waiting time. The indicator on the keg will turn blue when ready. 

Plug in your appliance at least an hour before desired serve time until the light turns green to get the best beer possible.

*Please note, we advise you not to put your kegs in the freezer! This could damage your keg or beer.

2. Attach the tube

This step is very important!

Remove the plastic dispensing lid from your keg. Inside you will find the connector tube.

Take this tube and insert it into the mouth of your 2L keg. It is imperative you push hard until you hear it click into place.

Firmly check the valve to ensure it has been inserted properly and attached securely before loading your keg into The SUB. It can cause damage to the kegs and machine if this is not done correctly.

3.  Insert the 2L keg (For The SUB Compact)

Open the lid on the top of the cylindrical unit, lift the cover over the tap and insert the keg into The SUB. You want to put the bottom end into the chamber first.

Make sure to use your pre-chilled 2L keg. You can view the full keg selection here. We have over 30 premium beers to load your SUB with.

3. Insert the 2L keg (For The SUB)

Open the door of the cylindrical unit, lift the tap cover and insert the keg into The SUB. You want to put the bottom end into the chamber first.  It should sit in, snugly but comfortably.

Make sure to use your pre-chilled 2L keg. You can view the full keg selection here. We have over 30 premium beers to load your SUB with.

4. Connect the tube (For The SUB Compact)

Feed the keg’s tube through the pouring end of the tap head. Place the tube's spout inside the tap head and click it back into position.

4.  Connect the tube (For The SUB)

Open the cover of the tap and lead the tube attached to the 2L keg along the backside of the tap head. Place the tube's spout inside the tap head. Make sure the tube is firmly attached on both ends and close the tap cover. 

5.  Close The SUB

Close and lock the door of your SUB. The kegs should sit comfortably in the refrigerated unit, you shouldn't have to force the door. If the door does not close easily, check the keg has been inserted properly. It may not be pushed far enough into the chamber. Once the light of the appliance turns green, you can start pouring!

N.B - Locking is only applicable for The SUB
