You have a way of breaking something down in a way that is easily consumed by all. I have been kegging for 7 years and you did not miss a single detail.
Haha thanks man! I’m sure I missed some details but I was just trying to pack in as much as I could so it’s all in one place!
Kegging revolutionized my enjoyment of homebrewing. Not only is it a space/time/effort saver, but nothing beats pouring a perfect pint right off of draft. Great video as usual Trent, and nice kegerator!
Very well said! I wish I would have started kegging earlier
Another well thought out video, covered everything great! Great work! Cheers!
Thanks Matt!
Thanks Man !! Great Simple instructions and info !!! Cheers !!
Once again Trent - great video!
Awesome content Trent. Great work !
Thanks, cheers! 🍻
Super video, thanks for the effort!
Thanks for watching!
Great as Always ! Cheers Amigo 🍻🍻🤙🏼
Thanks buddy!
Small advice from a prfessional brewer. These fridges are great to use for ripening your finished products. Just leave it in there at 7 °C for about one week and then cool it further down to about 1 °C and keep the te,perature for another 1 -2 weeks. Improves the taste a lot and the cold storage ensures save carbonisation for easiey tapping later on. Cheers from Germany
Great advice! Thank you for the comment
Great breakdown with simplicity! I still love my several cases of bottles and don't mind bottling for the ability to keep some of my past 4-5 brews or so laying around along with the most recent for both variety and seeing how they age over a few months. But I've been slowly accumulating kegging parts as I see them for used cheap and by the end of 2022 (the summer with some luck) I'll get there!
That’s an excellent way to do it. Slowly build and collect parts. Easier on the wallet too
So informative, great video! 🍺
Thank you!
Keep up great work.
Thank you, cheers!
4:59 that transition was smooth af
Hey Trent, great video, thanks!
Thank you man! 🍻
Great vid! Tiny nitpick but make sure you don't push with a pencil to open the pressure relief valve, The graphite could break off and fall inside the valve causing a leak!
Stellar job!
Great video! And that's a good looking Kegerator! I may downsize in the future so I'll keep this one in mind!
It’s a perfect size for me right now, ask me how I feel about it in a year tho ha
Kegging made brewing way more fun and less of a chore. Cleaning dozens of bottles at a time drove me nuts. I still bottle condition a few bottles a batch though
Yeah I hear ya on that. Occasionally I bottle and then remember why I started kegging
That external CO2 mount is a GREAT idea. 1 more hole in my collar & I'm done. Thank you. 👍
Blichman carb machine 5 gallons @ ~ 20 min. Cold crash first @ 24 hours. Game changer. Highly recommend the investment.
Great video Trent! Super thorough. I would absolutely not brew as much as I do if it weren’t for kegs!!!
Thanks Brian! Completely agreed
great vid man....thanks
Thanks Theron!
I work on the Oktoberfest Munich Germany... Beer pouring Meister 🍻🍻🍻🍻
You are a hero my friend!
shoutout received! (caught portly too)
Haha that force carb video is LEGENDARY
Awesome video.. the only thing I would add is once you have a few kegs, a keg washer like the Bucket Blaster, the Marks keg washer or a DIY one, is worth every penny. They are awesome time and effort savers, but they also pay for themselves by the amount of PBW and Starsan/Saniclean you will save by doing multiple kegs the same time!
The day I started kegging, that was a game changer for me. Don't get me wrong, I still like bottling but there's just something different about pulling that tap. Thanks for the video! Cheers
Cheers man I completely agree
WOW. What a fantastic resource! Thank you so much man, I think you just convinced me, because my favourite beers to drink are Hazy IPAs but every time I made them in the past, I think they oxidised. They tasted disgusting. So I guess if I want to make my favourite beer, I can't really avoid getting a kegging system.
Plus pulling your own beers is worth all the money!
Just got my canning seamer today 🙌
Jealous!!
On bottles what about larger ones like 2 litre pop bottles.
Just put together a kegging system right before Christmas.
However there is a lack of a fridge.
Good thing it's freezing outside.
(Currently scouting for a fridge to use)
Haha yeah that’s a good solve until you can find a fridge for cheap!
I found the difficulty not in getting the stuff or paying for it. But mainly convincing my partner that a kegorator warrants the space required in our apartment.
Haha make sparkling water, kombucha, or put cold brew on tap. That always helps ease the convincing
@@TheBruSho this was going to be my suggestion. I enjoy bottling but my wife wanted bubble water. A couple extra kegs and everyone is happy.
This was just the perfect amount of detail for someone who has just completed their first homebrew! Is there a tough guide on how long my homebrew will stay fresh in a keg?
Depends on the style, abv, and a few other factors. But I've had beer in my kegs for 6months with no issues, but usually I drink it or share it all before that.
Can you borrow from a keg? If so, how long will carbonation last?
Bro that 9 tab what ever you call it it is what i want to dive head first into.
Plus one for kegging.
Woohoo!
I still bottle. Will not transition to kegging. Bottling takes some time, but it's still the best option for me. You can give your friends bottled beer, you know... you can't give a keg.
If that’s the best option that’s great. But don’t forget you can bottle from a keg too!
@delreydavid it’s not for everyone but to me it made brewing more enjoyable. And now I don’t have dozens of bottles stashed under my bed/closet
Yup! And I'd rather clean bottles than beer lines. I hate cleaning beer and wort out of tubing.
Did every homebrew channel get sent one of these things lol
Haha seems like it
Whats the name for the website that people sell their keg in?
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered a keg for myself. Only missing a fridge =) which temperature should be in order to get best results for carbonation? around 2-4c?
Yep that would be perfect. Good luck kegging!
@8:54 well someone does yoga 🧘♀️hell’s bells !!! Flexible
Hahah gotta stay flexible in case you ever need to hide in your kegerator 😆
I'm just starting kegging so this is helpful thanks. Currently I have no way to carbonate whilst the keg is in the fridge. As in the video you say chill the keg then take it out to carbonate. How long would you leave the co2 tank attached before returning to the fridge and repeating?
Usually just long enough to add pressure because I’m lazy. Then detach and put it back in. But you could do one of rapid carbing methods I mentioned once it’s cold
@@TheBruSho thanks for the reply! Yes I may go for force carbing at the moment until I have the right space.
Sanitizer is not really neccesary when bottling. Water with temperatur over 16 °F kills everything the beer could harm. Just wash out the clean (!) bottles with hot water. I use flip-top bottles and close them right after washing.
Do ball locks always come with a gas tube? I just picked 2 Corny Kegs, Ball Lock, Locally and when I replaced the rubber seals I didn't notice a tube for the air? Good job as always too!
Usually tubing and the quick connects are sold separately. But sometimes they are sold together online. Good luck kegging!
You mean inside the keg? No, not a tube like the beverage
I NEED to start kegging! But I just don't know how to convince my partner to let me rob space in the living room!
I'm not using beer, using tea for first testing and only fill half a keg. My tea become over foamy but under carbonation, using force carbonation method by rolling the keg. What should i do?
Disconnect the gas, and release the pressure, wait a day and then add more pressure to you're desired amount. Repeat until its back to your liking/less foamy.
@@TheBruSho so it must be wait for a day? Can it be consumed directly after force carbonation?
My first effort at kegging doesn't seem to be working out so well. I tried priming for CO2 in the keg....I think I over did it. Very foamy.
That’s ok. If it’s over carbed just bleed out the pressure and give it a day or so before pressurizing again. Also make sure you have at least 10ft of beer line for less foamy pours
@@TheBruSho Thank you..
Newair is too expensive for a single tap, I will stick to a DIY for that cost lol Thought it can almost fit 1 whole Trent that is impressive haha
Haha! And yeah that’s why I wanted to share other options. Price point is not right for everyone
So Jealous of that NewAir Kegerator. I have just been using a 1.75 gallon keg in my kitchen fridge with a mini co2 regulator.
Hey that’s a step in the right direction. Just slowly build up and improve and someday you’ll have a dedicated fridge for serving!
@@TheBruSho I am hoping that when the college kids move out at the end of the semester and leave their fridges behind I can find one to DIY into a kegerator!
@@RecipeswithBen smart thinking!
