Cornelius Keg

A cornelius keg (also known as a Corney or soda keg) is a metal container (keg) originally used by the soft drink industry, and can be used to store and dispense Homemade Sodas and home brewed beer.

Cornelius kegs were originally made by the IMI Cornelius Company. In the keg, fully made Soda is stored under pressure just like standard cans and bottles. The soda is referred to as Pre-Mix in the industry technology as compared to Bag-In-Box (BIB) packages which is just concentrated syrup. BIB Soda is cheaper but requires a high quality water source and well calibrated dispenser. Pre-Mix Soda costs more and takes up more space but can be used anywhere, and the equipment is simpler and cheaper.
