+jascfdrac You're welcome, Cheers!

I read a paper from MicroMatic that suggested you can place the kegs at an angle , maybe a door stop wedge placed under the edge of the keg to get to 60-70 degree angle. This will leave the proper head space to allow for pressure increase with temperature rise. Per MicroMatic " A 1/2 Bbl keg filled at 4°C will increase in volume by 140 ml at 15°C, 200 ml at 20°C and 450 ml by 40°C. Without proper headspace, the extra beer volume has nowhere to go, and pressures inside the keg can reach and significantly exceed 10 bar in 1/2 bbls and over 13 bar in sixth bbls." Be safer and save beer, winner winner chicken dinner!!

Fantastic as usual!! Thank you so much for making these videos!

Hi Jasper, Great video. Can you please explain, how did you sanitize your kegs? Thanks!

hi jasper, thanks for yours awesome videos. more info about manifold and reduction please , i want to make a similar system

❤thanks again

Thanks a lot for the Video! Question: What kind of beer lines do you use? Normal PVC or Vinyl ones or something that can be steamed?

How did you pasteurize/sanitize your lines? Shouldn't there be a T coming off the tank with a butterfly valve then the kegging aparatus attached to that?

very nice

Tips on how to clean / sanitize this apparatus after filling? How do you store it? Whole? Or do you tear it down each time?

Hello Jasper! Was wondering if you have a video on how to clean kegs on the commercial side? 😊

Hi Jasper, Another great video. Can I please ask, how did you sanitize all the fittings and valves prior to filling the kegs? Simply place inside a bucket of sani, or run a CIP/Sani run as you show in your CIP video?

@brewerylife3596

+thegboat Thanks for the question! The BBT is CIP with sani, purged, and under pressure. The small hoses and other parts are disassembled and just soak in sani for 30 mins. Then reassembled and blown out with CO2 before hooking the manifold to the BBT. Hope this helps, Cheers!

Hey Jasper. This was a great video. Very informative yet again! I have another a question for you. Could I use the same Sanke coupler you have here, to do some manual keg cleaning? The keg cleaning systems are very expensive to purchase, and we will get one but for now I need to do some elbow work to pay for one. It seems like I could put the keg upside down and drain it onto a bucket. Then with a pump I could recirculate the necessary cleaning agents through the spear and it would clean. Thoughts on that would be appreciated!

Yes after sanitation. Purge kegs with co2 and leave under pressure.

Hello sir. Great video. I have a question dough.. how can i keg beer withit turning bad? So i can store the beer for several weeks without cooling

Interesting that you mention some breweries filling kegs upside down. I imagine that would involve hooking the couplers up back to front, so the beer entered through the gas inlet at the bottom (top) of the keg and flowed into the spear at the top when full?

Also, do you not need to tilt the kegs to allow some room for head space?

Thank you!! great video!! any chance you could show us how you wash teh kegs? please.

+William Fisher Thanks for the suggestion!

What size braided hoses are you using? The keg filling coupler I got from GW Kent has 1/2" hose barb connections, but yours look bigger.

Thank you for your great video. I’m here in Korean small brewery. Sometimes I’d like to verify whether the kegs are cleaned well after CIP and SIP in microbiological way. So, could you give me a guide to do that? I especially want to know how to open the kegs to get inside of it.

You need to take spear out and inspect with flashlight

Great video! I'm going to have my own brewery this June. I was worry about my shortage of the operation knowledge, until I found your video! I have four 400L fermenters, but I don't have any bright beer tank. Do you have the experience of kegging beer from fermenter directly through the filter then into the keg? And did you ever fill un-filtered beer into the keg? Will the preservation time become too short? Cheers! Chi-Chao Li

+李啟肇 Thank you! You are going to make great beer! I have never filtered straight into a package, but it is an interesting thought. If breweries do not have a BBT it usually means they do not filter. Temperature flux and carbonation/fill levels in final keg could be tricky, but it does seem possible. Good news is brewers put unfiltered beer into kegs all the time. Shelf life will be affected slightly but kegs are more stable than cans/bottles. Ways to increase shelf life would be, make sure the beer is really cold before packaging. This helps gravity act as a filter. Maybe try biofine (a cellar fining agent) to clear the beer in FV rather than filter. You could use an empty FV to filter into rather than a BBT. Always try to limit dissolved oxygen in cold beer. The number one thing that determines shelf life is package temperature. If the keg beer rises in temperature, months of shelf life will be lost. Best of luck, Cheers!

How do you calculate the head space into the keg??

Thank you for the awesome videos!! Question for you.. What is your process for blowing out the manifold and all beer lines with CO2, prior to beginning your fill (i.e. your process for confidently purging the O2 prior to beginning the fill)? Cheers!

@johnlabriola2283

My immediate thought watching this process, but you could easily add a gas fitting to the end of that manifold.

in the video is shows on the banner to double check the keg fills by weight. What should they weight?

@AdamKeele

It varies by the gravity of the beer itself. It's not a huge difference, but if you're bothering to weight your kegs, you might as well do the math for each beer.

where can i find the mini ball valve that fits onto the keg tap?? Thanks

How can i buy equiment on the top ò keg. Thank you

what would happen if the kegs were under pressure? say at 5-6PSI. would that not fill the kegs?

@brewerylife3596

7 жыл бұрын

The kegs and the BBT are both under pressure here, 12psi, this keeps carbonation. The pressure differential between keg and BBT will cause the beer to move to the lower pressure direction. It's possible to fill kegs at any pressure but usually the carbonation level and temperature dictate the filling pressure. Hope this helps, Cheers!

How do you fill those kegs without a BBT ? I have a small system and no BBT, I've been asked to keg. I have a manual filling handle but how to I carbonate the beer in the keg ?

Do you fill the keg from the valve you take the yeast out?

@brewerylife3596

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! I take the yeast out in the FV tank, and fill kegs out of the BBT, a different tank. If using an FV for fermenting and packaging, a unitank, I would harvest yeast out of bottom valve and fill kegs from racking arm valve. Hope this helps, Cheers!

what type of hose are you using to fill the kegs?

What about oxygen pickup in the manifold and hoses?

@brewerylife3596

7 жыл бұрын

You should try to avoid oxygen in all stages after fermentation. Flush CO2 through manifold and hoses after hooking them up. Cheers

I recommend a sight glass on your kegging manifold so you know when to close your BT valve
