    In the UK the King Keg and other plastic barrels are used extensively, and with the S30 valve make a relatively cheap option for adding gas. Thanks once again for a very clear and concise video.

    Thanks John. Yes I used these many years back when I lived in England. They really fall into the mini/party keg section, despite their size. They are sold in few markets sadly, so I left them out to avoid lots of confusion!

    Another pro for kegs, is making your own CO2 by fermenting sugar in them. No need for expensive high pressure bottles, regulators etc. I do, 2kg of cheap sugar in approximately 15L of warm water(40C), add approx 20g cheap bakers yeast, connect the CO2 production keg, via gas lines, to another 9L keg, full of water, with the dispense tap open. The gas pressure build up in the fermentation keg pushes water out of the 9L keg once it is empty the fermentation keg has been purged of most O2 and is ready for use. In my setup 70psi is often achieved, more than enough for carbonation. Also you can distill the by product, which gets to between 5 and 10 % abv.

    6yrs ago I went to kegs (corny) and never looked back. I do use a few 3/4L camlock bottles each batch for taste testing and gifts. Specialty beers are good for bottling IMHO as 19L of saison or stout is had to get thru. In Canada you can get a used fridge free just for the picking it up if you watch for it. Mine took a year to get the cigarette smoke smell out of it though but pulling a pint at dinner time is total joy.

    Great as always. It's interesting how different countries fit into each of the categories you mention. For me there are four storage types: bottle (a hassle although is a true 'real ale' tends to condition better), polypin (plastic bag in a box, doesn't keep for long), plastic barrel with sparklet co2 bulb (cheap, effective although ....plastic) and Corny Kegs (and yes foaming is a big issue....these things are super easy to use although getting the right pressure can be challenging).

    Thanks, this was a very informative video. Although I have worked with Party Kegs and Cornelius kegs I always wondered about the Sanke kegs. We recently bought some Cornelius Kegs but had to replace the barb fittings with posts and poppers. That in itself was a big learning curve since 2 of the kegs had a different thread and imperial too. We are used to the metric system. We had to import the posts and poppers since it was not available locally. Cheers

    Sanke D keg user, like them so far besides freezing one and having it split, pretty easy to open with some practice. I was able to find a power washer tip that you can angle to blast the inside of the keg to avoid having to hit it with harsh chemicals everytime to strip off areas not accessable to scrubbing. ... Also sanke has a benefit that you can buy and use commercially made beer easier, than if your whole set up is for 🌽 kegs.

I had a twinge of guilt when you mentioned it. However, it soon passed when I thought of the quality beer that my Grainfather produces.

    I've recently started to keg my beers. At present I'm using Corny kegs. However, as I scale up my brewery I'll probably need to switch to Sanke kegs simply for the increased volume; so I appreciate the advice you provided in this video. One topic I'm experimenting with now is how to best distribute beers from a keg whether it be for competitions or sampling by potential customers. Any advice you have on that regard would be appreciated. I find your videos informative... Keep up the good work!

    Great to hear. Yes Sanke kegs are a great option for large sizes. In terms of bottling from a keg you will need a beergun. Skip the chinese copies, close your eyes to the cost and get a Blichmann beergun. They are not cheap but they work well and will outlast several cheap chinese copies.

    Have you tried to lift a full Sanke Keg? When full, you will not be able to lift them on your own. It also takes up more room than 3 Corny kegs. You also are limited to one beer in a space you could have 3 Corny kegs. . Hopefully, the Sanke works for you, but they have many disadvantages.

    Hi Kem, Head retention is not so much about carbonation. This is a pretty massive topic that I intend to cover in 2024. In short there are various things within your recipe and process that can work for and against this. When carbonating and serving it is common to leave the c02 connection on for the full duration.

    Heya, question about logistics. How would you go about say brewing a 20L batch of beer, but your just have a 3-4L uKeg? Would you suggest getting enough bottles to bottle up the leftover beer, or keep it somewhere without the carboration liquid and siphon off the yeast. Also what's the time limit on this option? Looking to get into beer brewing, and don't mind spending a bit on a grainfather, but the fermentation & beer storage options is where I'm pretty much at a loss. Great videos though!

    I would suggest ensuring that you are filling with very cold beer. You can then spray the side if the keg and see where the cold beer has reached.

    Hi. Great video. Just wondering, can you keg in a corny without using a fridge? I want a cleaner option than bottling. Currently getting too frequent infections in bottles because of their shape and the difficulty in cleaning them. I also do not want to run another fridge. I was thinking of filling some bottles for chilling prior to drinking. Thanks!

    Hi David. I read, in the comments on your Belgian Blonde guide, that the optimal temperature for aging ale is 14c. You mentioned this in reference to aging in bulk. I'm curious how this relates to bottled beers. I only bottle, I prime each bottle with dextrose powder, use oxygen absorbing caps, then store for about two weeks at about the highest temp reached during fermentation (to carbonate), then refrigerate for a week or two before drinking. Should I adapt this method at all to accommodate the 14c guideline? Favored styles are IPA, saison, stout, wheat.

  • @DavidHeathHomebrew

    @DavidHeathHomebrew

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi, yes with ales in bottles the optimal temp for conditioning is also 14. Lagers are best added to a fridge in the way you are doing but not ales. I suggest only adding ale to the fridge when you intend to drink them within the next hour or so.

    David I have a question about using kegs or more specifically the gas. I’m looking into kegging my meads and ciders using just nitrogen. So if I decide to brew my own beer and keg it could I us priming sugar for natural carbonation then us nitrogen for serving or would I have to use CO2 or beer gas for the beer? I would like to keep it simple and not have to have different gas tanks for each.

  • @DavidHeathHomebrew

    Yes you can use priming sugar in full sized kegs for carbonation. The keg will need to be at the temps required for this though, so many just carbonate with gas. It is also faster. You can use a mix of nitro and c02 for beers. Its popular for stouts.Balancing that is important. Hope this helps.
