This is definitely the best video I've found on force carbing your beer. Other videos I watched either tell you to wait a few days before drinking (so what's the point of force carbing again?) or tell you to carry out some much more laborious process. Nice job bearded beer dudes.

Hey now! Cheers for watching Robert!

There are lots if ways to keg your beer and these guys do a good job of telling you how to do it fast. Fast is fine if that’s how you you want to do it because of being time poor and party ready. This method will get the bubbles into your beer, no doubt. But, with some shortcuts there are some sacrifices. Stripping out aroma and over shooting your optimal CO2 serving volumes are some of them. Getting your pressure, temp and time balanced will produce a better overall beer without compromise, but let’s face it, some beer is just BFD...’beer for drinking.’ Sometimes, for the greater good, you have to make a few sacrifices and shake that keg. Stop drop and roll! Thanks for putting the video out there. Cheers

Gonna try this out next week. Made a hazy for the 4th and I'm running a bit behind on time so I need to force carb it. Hoping it turns out good. Appreciate the videos

I like to change out the gray gas connection to the black beverage connector and connect to the c02 tank. Leave the keg up right and just tip the keg back and fourth no need to lay keg on its side since the out tube goes to the bottom. You can hear the C02 bubbling.

Awesome man. Man i love the beer community

Hey, I commented before about my first beer and I am unsure how to tag you in a reply from a like. So, sorry about the double-post. I did everything to the letter but it seemed like my beer was over-carbonated. I am not saying it was this video's instructions that caused it, especially with so many positive comments about doing it. However... I had to connect my gas line to my beer line and put it on ~4psi to bubble through the beer and bleed it out via the PRV in order to get it low enough to pour. PSI post bleeding is 10psi. But it was just foam and flat before that. Now it is pouring with a nice head, but it is still flat. Any ideas, it was a blue moon clone (wheat beer)if that helps. No idea what I have done wrong or how to get it to pour correctly. The beer line is the right length for the diameter.

great video. I don’t have a fridge large enough to hold my carboy. Any issue with transferring the beer into the keg And burping off some O2 the night before, cold crashing it in the kegerator over night, and then force carbonating the next day?

Hombres. Just started kegging (like literally the fedex truck dropped off my kit) and this video was on point. Took the guess work out and I’m now kick’n back with a perfectly carbonated 2ipa. Cheers dudes. Bottles are for babies

After doing some more reading, I modified your method to speed carbonate the Chocolate Milk Stout that I had already kegged and chilled down. I use a 75/25 Nitro/CO2 blend. For a nitro stout, you want a lower carbonation amount. I've ready anywhere from 1.3 to 1.9 vols. My thinking was that I wanted about half of the carbonation that I normally like so I did the following. I hooked up my CO2 tank to the keg and laid it on its side so the gas is rising through the beer. Set to 20 PSI. Roll back and forth 100 times like you demonstrate in your video. Unhook the tank and let it rest upright in the fridge for 30 minutes. Purge the existing pressure and hook up your 75/25 to allow for the correct vols you want based on standard tables. For my temp, I have it set to a dispensing pressure of 20psi. Beautiful cascade, creamy head, and overall an extremely satisfying Nitro pour experience. Prost!

Nice video! I had one problem following your steps: When shaking Keg connected at 25-30 PSI, beer from Keg start to escape from Keg through the co2 hose to the co2 tank and I had to stop. Any clues what's happening or what I'm doing wrong?

If you are continually brewing, and finish a batch before your previous one is done, or want to brew bigger batches and fill up multiple kegs, how do you store the freshly filled kegs? At 30 psi, 15 psi?

Help me. I disconnected the co2 and it's been a week or more and me beer still has a 2inch head of foam! Its cold in the kegrator so shouldn't be fermentation me thinks. Also seems would go down after pourin 10 pints

When Shacking the tank did you keep the 30 psi on continuously? Or you turn of the co2 inlet and then shake it?

Incredibly helpful video! This is how we carbonate all our beers. However, we recently did a Scottish ale that doesn’t seem to stay carbonated. We’ve force carbonated it twice, purged it, and then tasted it but it holds almost no carbonation. Any tips?

I'm going to quick carb a tart cherry hydromel right after watching this video. I'll let you know how it goes on tomorrow's Hoppy Hour.

For sanatizer to go out and after puting beer ti the keg. What psi should I use?

I only have a 2.5 lb Co2 tank. I have 5gallon batches, with purging air, force carbing and service pressure am I going to run out? am I overthinking this!?!?! Great vid btw.

So is cutting down the time relative to the number of gallons? So 2 1/2 gallons is 100 seconds etc.?

Great video guys. Do you vary the number of rock depending on beer style? And what is the desired temperature after cold crash?

@HOMEBREW4LIFE

5 жыл бұрын

different beer styles are carbed differently. most touts and porters are lower so maybe only do a 100 rocks. See how it is and you can always do more if you feel like it needs it. Belgians and hefs may have a higher carb so start with 200 rocks and you can always add more if need be. As far as crashing temp, the lower the better to help clean up the beer. I crash at 33F and serve at 38F

Just for fun I did some searching and there were so many posts covering these lengthy processes for force-carbing followed buy letting the keg sit for 4-7 more days. Instead I just followed this and was drinking it 30 mins later!

Hey guys. What if I want to carbonate 2.6 gallons instead of 5 gallons? Would itbtake half the time?

10 psi and the faucet connected directly on the beer post? How is the beer not rushing out? I can't se any flow restriction on the faucet... Anyway, great video!

I have seen smaller kegs (1.75gal - 3gal) but they are 2-3 times more $$$ then the 5gal. Can you fill only 1-2 gallons and force carb? Or do you have to use 5gal.

I used to do this. I dont recomend this method. Different brews take different co² levels. If you shake to much or to violent you over carbonate. It's a real mess when you bleed off the shaken beer to. You have just spend 2-3 weeks on your home brew, wait one more damm day for perfect repeatable results. 40psi for 24 hours on light beers @ 32°and 40psi for 26-28 hours on darker beers @32°... 50psi for 3 days for sodas(rootbeer, cream soda) @ 34°

Just force carbed my first beer that I put down (AG blue moon clone)... Why does 30 minutes seem longer when you are waiting?

I don’t understand why you pushed the sanitizer out with CO2 when you upended it back up to rack your beer in. Does the fact that CO2 is more dense than outside air keep the CO2 in the keg while racking in the beer?

I tried this method and now when i pour i get pints of ice cream, it takes about 10 minutes of constant topping up to get a pint,

What do you think of the force carb lids for kegs?

Certainly enjoyed this video. Getting ready to rack my first keg tomorrow and I think I like your method the best. Quick question, did you toss your whole carboy in the fridge to cold crash it before racking? Does this method work for all types of beer or would it be best to follow the co2 chart for your type and temperature of beer as far as how much co2 to use?

@SpotfireVideo

6 жыл бұрын

It's a good idea to cold crash in the carboy before racking, preferably for at least a couple days beforehand. Cold Crashing helps the yeast and proteins settle out to the bottom of your fermenter. If you don't cold crash before racking you'll bring a lot more particulate matter into your keg. That will settle out when you cold crash in the keg, but if you agitate the keg for forced carbonation, you'll be stirring it up back into solution. Too much yeast in your beer will affect clarity, flavor and can give you the shits.

@chrisbeyer4432

Spotfire Right on, first time kegger, always bottled. I was afraid of losing too much yeast for priming my bottles, but force carbing the keg get rid of the need for the yeast. This definitely turned out to be one of my much better beers, it's not clear but then again it's a wheat beer so it's not going to be. It has a great crisp taste to it vs my bottled beers. They always seemed to have a yeasty flavor.

They were force carbing at 25-30 PSI. You'll want to reduce that pressure when you serve, down from 5 to 12 PSI. Also a lot depends on the style of beer and of the temperature of your beer and the line. Also the length and diameter of your beer line can affect the amount of foaming. You can find a lot more info with a Google search, but it can be fun just to tinker with it until you've got it dialed.
