Which IPA is the freshest after 2 months? Sugar Carbonation vs Kegging vs Counter-Pressure Filling

In this video, I compare the freshness of three different IPA conditioning methods after two months: sugar carbonation, kegging, and counter-pressure filling. I will guide you through the process of each method, explain how they affect the beer's taste, and determine which IPA remains the freshest after two months. You'll learn about the benefits and drawbacks of sugar carbonation, the advantages of kegging, and the intricacies of counter-pressure filling. Join me as I taste test and analyze the results to find out which IPA truly stands out in freshness after two months.

Nice comparison. I'm assuming you kept the sugar dosed bottle at room temp for a week or so before putting in the fridge?

[@Beerstories]

Thanks 😊 Yes, the sugar one was kept 10 days at room temp 😊

[@tortap]

I have come to the same conclusion I will just keep my own beer in kegs and only bottle what I give away. Pressure transfer to kegs is the way to go.

[@Beerstories]

Yes, that is absolutely the best thing to do 😊

Would it be the same "always store your beer cold" with counter pressure filled pale ales?
Was hoping to be able to pressure ferment, pressure transfer to my kegerator for a month, then bottle the rest of the beer to have a selection of bottled beers..

[@Beerstories]

Yes, always store beer cold 😊 Dark, strong beers can be stored at room, but the oxidation and staling happens 3x faster.

I tried this with counter pressure filled bottle stored in room temp for 3 weeks vs stored cold. It's a night and day difference. I could drink it but it was way worse. Store hoppy beer cold.

[@bizsokvajkbela9992]

how did you bottle it with sugar? tap or siphon?

[@Beerstories]

Tap and a bottle filler directly from the tank with a little pressure to male shure no oxygen gets in 😊
