The core keg is a 1/4 barrel: a 30L vessel filled with 20L of cocktail mix, leaving 9L of space for your spirits or additional mixer. It measures 22.52 inches tall by 11.81 inches in diameter. Margarita and Lemonade also come in a 1/6 barrel (19L).

About 245 drinks per 1/4 barrel at the standard 4 oz serve into an 8 oz cup. The 1/6 barrel pours about 160. Expect 3 to 5 percent fewer in real service through normal line loss.

The standard CO2 and nitrogen blended system bars already use is recommended. It also works on CO2 or nitrogen alone. 10 to 15 PSI is optimal; do not exceed 44 PSI.
