With the 5L mini kegs, have you got a suggestion on how to get as much oxgen out of it when you fill one without the benefit of a closed transfer system?
Oh this is very useful. I have been planning on which metallic kegs to buy after a recent change of circumstances with my plastic barrels brought matters to a 'head'. The 4 gallon one might just suit me using bulbs to keep the beer fresh although I don't have a cold storage room in my flat so that could be an issue with this particular option. I put lager and cider in the fridge but prefer beer at room temperature anyhow. But if you are still answering this video thread could you please tell me if it is possible to just use natural carbonation with these 2 gallon stainless steel kegs? It looks and sounds that way from the video including they seem to have dispensing taps at the front/base. Unless all that I am getting in the glass is froth then I don't tend to release pressure as so many people seem to advise these days. I really don't mind the occasional glugging seeing as my beer is still clear/fresh but I largely fixed that issue by reducing the priming bit by bit.
You can naturally carbonate in these kegs , it is beneficial for carbonation to hold after fermentation is complete to cool to allow the co2 to dissolve into the beer , commercially we find that to force carbonate a beer after fermentation is complete it works effectively below 4 degrees, apologies we missed this reply until now
Bit of a noob question and maybe one for a different video. If you wanted to carbonate your beer with CO2, would you leave out any sugar during the conditioning phase ? Seems as though conditioning and carbonation are often lumped together when getting started in home brewing.
I have one to but these 16g co2 are not "cheap and efficient" (at least in Germany). For picnic it is great.
thank for sharing
Nice work 👍
Thanks , hope you get to try one!

I would suggest purging with a little blast of co2 before transfer
@@Geterbrewed That is a lovely looking red ale
Does the CO2 bulb retain residual gas if assembly is removed and put on another leg,,,thank u
Yes if the dial is turned on the regulator to stop flow before removing
Can I remove the co2 after I'm done with the keg or will that waste the cartridge
Cartridges are single use
The tops of these kegs look like a flat disc. Is there a tool for opening them?
They are threaded and can be removed by hand
WHERE I CAN ORDER THANKS
How long does the co2 cartridge last?
Usually 1 co2 bulb/cartridge will dispense one 5 litre keg
Please , with the drip feed carbonation can I have some timings on how long it takes with the wee 16g bulbs . I’m begging lol .great work guys
It’ll take approx 2-3 days , apologies we missed this reply until now

@@Geterbrewed No problem, it is a long term thing my end. Thanks for answering and explaining so clearly.

I should clarify that I’m very new to this.
You can force carbonate using co2 without the need for any priming sugar
More and more I find with old get er brewed videos that i click on the buy links and they are all out of stock. I give up!
I’ve asked Jan to look into this and to try and remedy this
Do you happen to know if these can also be used with the typical soda stream cartridges?
You will need to by the soda adapter
Bet you enjoyed drinking the beer, someone has ta do it. Enjoy 😀😀😀😀
Sure do, one of the perks of this job and it helps we all love beer too
could you use a mini keg to make nitro beer or coffee?
Yes you just need to change the gas to a mixed gas cartridge
Do you sell a keg with tap around 30ltrs
19 litres is the largest keg we do, you could use a fermzilla all rounder 30 litre and dispense direct from it?
Are you able to fully carbonate it with those tiny little canisters?
Yes you can force carbonate with co2 bulb/canisters if the beer is kept below 4 degrees, apologies for the delayed reply
when filling mini keg from 19l keg under pressure, how to know it mini keg is full?
Easiest is maybe to put it on a scale and wait until it is close to 5 kg on top of the keg weight?
@@Duci1989 great idea man, thanks for answering
@@DaffyOP Cheers!
well the beer won't drink itself, someone has to do it!
Ahh yes the "Ghetto Brew Channel", thanks RUclips annotations.
Yeah might be our accents too?
