Setting up a Lindr or Portapint dispenser when using CO2 gas

Setting up a Lindr or Portapint dispenser with a gas bottle offers an optimal solution for dispensing beer from steel kegs, particularly for prolonged periods exceeding 48 hours. While the machine can be utilised for short-term events using standard kegs, prolonged use without gas will result in flat beer.

By connecting an external gas bottle, the shelf life of the beer is significantly extended. It's important to note that the built-in air compressor can be utilized when the keg contains a bag inside, ensuring that compressed air does not come into contact with the liquid within, as seen with Keykeg or Polykegs.

To enhance safety measures, it is advisable to install a secondary gas regulator after the main CO2 valve. This additional regulator serves as a precautionary measure, ensuring smoother operation and minimising potential risks during the dispensing process.
