Did you miss bottle carbonation on purpose? I’m a little tempted to add syrup to my keg and let it secondary ferment due to CO2 becoming short in supply here in NZ
How does altitude change the carbonation calculation? We live at 7,100’ in Colorado and do not see an adjustment for altitude on your carbonation calculator. Thank you for the great video?
Excellent job! I prefer the set and forget for a week+/-. Although, we all know sometimes we are under the gun and have to over-pressure and shake to get it there a bit faster.
OMG! Just grab the keg end-to-end, hold it horizontally, and slosh it side-to-side. Fully carbonated in minutes. You can literally hear the CO2 flowing thru the regulator and going into solution. It's just thermodynamics!
please tell, old man here am i crazy for thinking the commerical brewers lowered alcohol content, i always consumed heineken they claim it’s 5% i think not maybe 2% alcohol, but all my friends early in adult life felt the heineken was more than the common american beer at 6.4 % alcohol by volume i assume you are craft brewers using hayseed or raspberry or grapfruit. thanks for sharing how you became brewers
Noob question here from someone who is planing to get into the hobby. Just assume I'm kegging all my beers. Does it matter what kind of beer whether or not I'm supposed to force carb or not? Is it just a normal thing that you always do? Neipa to lager to weise to stout. Great video learned a lot but this question still bugs me. :)
Thanks Chris and Vito for a great discussion. Being a beginner, here is my question: You have a dozen bottles of flat barleywine(maybe 5 yrs old); any hope of getting a little bit of carbonation into the bottle, so it is more drinkable? Or pour it out and start over!
Try a Mojito with and wo carbonation. Would anyone want to dr8nk flat Coke or Pepsi? I carbonate to my preference with a Sodastream carbonation. It's cool once you've made huge messes, but just pressing down once second, let the foam in the qt plastic bottle subside, repeat,...Voila. Five minute carbonation. I also have a vacuum canner dividing a bottle of wine or homebrew into 8 oz Mason jars and refrigerate.
Hi, I’m trying to carbonate home made sangria. It’s essentially 60% wine/ 25% triple sec / 15% whiskey. I have zero idea what im doing. But i have the 10L korni keg and the c02 on hand. Can I use the same method shown here? How much pressure should i set the gauges to? Can you even carbonate sangria? 😂
I do the set/forget method, but speed it up. Ex: Instead of 5 days (minimum) at 11psi, I condense it to a couple of days. 1 day at 11psi x 5 days is 55psi. 55 ÷ by 2 is 27.5 or 28 for two days. After two days, i disconnect the gas, turn the regulator down to serving pressure, vent the keg and reconnect. If you're ballsy, I guess you could go at 55psi for 24hrs, but I never need beer that quickly so the 2 day method works for me. Been doing this for a few years now.
I have issues with too much head when I pour. I even release the pressure before I pour and still get a lot of head. The beer itself has good carbonation. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Serving at about 2 psi.
Hey Andrew, sorry to hear about the trouble. We're covering how to prevent foaming in our video coming out this week, we cover a ton in it and hopefully it'll help!

I think at the beginning you mean volumes not bar. 2 bar is almost 30 psi. The average style is 0.85 bar.
Accurate

How about a video on natural carbonation. I can think of three methods off the top of my head.
Great idea, thanks Robert!
How about using flow controls...either at the keg post or at the tap.
Great suggestion, we cover flow controls in the episode next week!

I've seen the diffuser stone for sale with a carbonation cap. Is that the same as a carb stone you were talking about?
Great video. I’ve always just put at 12-15 psi for a week and called it good. 😊

Didn't mention naturally carbonating in a keg and then dispensing using CO2, save a lot of CO2 that way.
I know it’s about beer carbonation. Currently enjoying some gin and tonic, curious about the level of carbonation in Indian tonic mixer
If you don't need for over a week prime with sugar

@@josephb3147 Thanks Joseph!
I had a similar issue: bottled(but flat) barleywine. I carefully un-capped, added a pinch of dry yeast, re-capped. It worked!!!
@@PB-jk8bl Did it take about a week or less to get some carbonation?
What about fermenting your beer under pressure?
We're covering that in a separate upcoming video!
Oh nice!
@@MoreBeer_ Speed up your clocks, please...I can't wait for this video! :)
Thanks for all those troubleshooting steps; I like that kegerator!

Blonde Lager (Paulaner) in keezer 4°C 39 fahrenheit whats right pressure for CO2 regulator?

Wow we...
I like that idea Chris and Vito, "Floating Dip Tube pulls the sample off the top"! Any special way to figure out your keg is almost empty?
Hey Daniel, the easiest way is to pick up the keg to check how heavy it is!
@@MoreBeer_ Thanks
Can that carbonation chart be used for making seltzer ? Thanks.
Yes, absolutely
@@MoreBeer_ Thanks.
This was kinda confusing for this brand new brewer. More demonstration and not just talking would have helped.
Why not just boil down the beer after fermentation, turn it into a syrup, and mix it with water from a Soda Stream? Saves on space!
A non-alcoholic beer soda...could be the next big thing!
@@MoreBeer_ No no no, back fill with a neutral spirit.
Now we're talking! Have you done this before? This sounds like a video idea...
Boiling will remove the alcohol
Alsome show guys really helpful

I have issues with too much head when I pour. I even release the pressure before I pour and still get a lot of head. The beer itself has good carbonation. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Serving at about 2 psi.
A longer beer line helps
At least 5 feet is recommended

Everyone has story.
