Kegging Your Homebrew

It's a common opinion that upgrading to kegging from bottling your beer is the best investment you'll ever make for your home brewery. Here's a quick video on how to keg your homebrew from start to finish. I implement a cold crash (mostly) and a gelatin addition. Enjoy.

"It's still gonna be beer and I'm still gonna drink it". Words of wisdom right there! LOL!

i agree

[@irish7460]

Quick question, when you purge the O2 from the keg, how can you tell all the oxygen is out?

[@MrBubbahunt9]

So the gelatin helps in keeping the sediments on the bottom,makes sense...you have a great system and setup. .thanks for the post

[@MrPvallle]

Ok

[@aarongonzalez6614]

thanks for the video! Makes it seem so simple, I'm going to keg my home brew for the first time next week

[@BenStetson]

You'll love kegging vs bottling for sure. One of the best upgrades as a homebrewer.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

For the next time, tip the fermenter a little bit forward so you got the segments lower in the front by the vale. Nice video.

[@BenStetson]

Good tip. I've done this with my massively hopped IPAs.

[@StoneyardVineyards]

Nice , looks like you got the beer .

Excellent video!! Question: Should I add the corn sugar to my bucket or skip that as I am putting the beer in kegs and carbonation from CO2?? Thanks, JT

[@BenStetson]

no corn sugar at all, all done directly with the CO2

[@serenityfarmsprepping2267]

@@BenStetson Thank you sir! First time kegging and was not sure if both would "over carbonate". Prob not but don't hurt to ask! Great T-shirt in the video as well!!!

Do you use gelitan in all of your beers? Just curious. I hear of people using it for lagers but not much else. I am new to home-brewing and kegging so sorry if this is a dumb question lol.

[@BenStetson]

I use it for my IPA's and anything really not using flaked wheat or oatmeal those need to keep the protein haze. I don't use with lager as those clear really well even prior to kegging.

Hello thanks for sharing..
Just a couple of questions..
What pressure is the gas at when purging , is it different to the pressure you use to pour ?
And how long until the beer is right to drink?

[@BenStetson]

I usually sent my pressure to 20psi just because its faster and I also have a second regulator off my tank to do it without messing with serving pressure on my other kegs. Without force carbing, in about a week its carbed, however, I find aging about a month if possible allows adequate time for everything to come together in the beer.

[@MrPvallle]

Hej what is the thing with the gelatin? Tks

[@BenStetson]

It's a fining agent. Helps drop sediment and haze etc out of suspension. The result is commercial level clarity of the beer.

Still putting in my time.
