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.
