In this video Geterbrewed look at 3 ways that you can keg your home brew.
Keg Conditioning
Force Carbonating
Transferring to a keg under pressure
(1) Keg conditioning using a 5 litre mini kegs :

This is probably the most succinct video for kegging beer on TH-cam. I often revisit this channel for tips or to clarify part of a brewing process. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much
I am a novice keg transfer person and I greatly appreciate this level of detail in the video! Thanks so much!
Great video, I already transfer fully carbonated beer from my fermzilla to a 19 l corny keg in a similar way. But once the beer starts to flow, instead of applying gas pressure I just fit another line from the gas post on the fermzilla to the gas on the keg and let gravity do the rest. It just saves wasting CO2 !👍
Yeah i just added a little top pressure in an attempt to speed up the transfer a little
Great video as always, Really informative, you guys are are the best in the business when it comes to learning about all brewing. From a very happy customer .
Thank you so much! We're glad you found the video informative and helpful. Happy brewing!
Excellent video, really well explained and demonstrated. Love that you showed us finished beer. Cheers Sir !
Thankyou
Great video! It's really helpful to get a run through like this when your considering making the move to kegs. So looking forward to making bottling "optional'!
Thanks Paul, once you move to kegs you'll not want to return to bottling
Great video. You can also use the spunding valve during pressure transfer relieve pressure and to know exactly what pressure the serving keg is at by setting it a few pounds lower then the CO2 bottle pressure.
I've just rewatched. Definitely need to get that step down beer line as a pre made item. My 5litre mini keg foams like crazy
Should have added it foams crazy but doesn't seem carbed enough
Yeah we really find that stepping down makes a big difference, all that pressure needs to be spread out through the line otherwise you might as well grab a cone and chocolate flake for that foam. lol
A very nice and easy to understand video guys. Thank you very much for making it. Looking forward to future content. 😀
Thanks Simon appreciate the comment
Great video, I've just purchased a 19l Corny Keg kit from Brewkegtap. Looking forward to my first forced carbed brew. I was wondering if you have any tips on an oxygen free transfer from a brewing bucket to the corny keg? I'm thinking I could pipe the tap on the bucket to the keg but I wouldn't have the capability to push the liquid through but gravity should do its thing right?
Great follow up video from the understanding kegging vid 🍻 also good to know the brew monk fits into the ferminator 👍🏻
With the transfering under pressure will it stop filling automatically when full , as you can't see the gas dip tune to give an indication when the keg is full or do you need to monitor the volume markers on the fermenter. Also love those maturing kegs, they are so handy to have.
Hey Aidan , It'll stop when full and usually you can see the condensation on the outside of the keg so you visually see as it approaches the top of the corny keg
Can you share equipments you have used there to make your beer? Or if yiu have any videos for that? We are homebrewers lookingto graduate to these fancy equipments for more controlled beer making.
Yeah we have loads of videos on the channel highlighting equipment , if you need some specific advise please drop us an email and we would be happy to help
Equalising pressure from source and destination. Vacum Pump deoxidise the keg
Thank You for the good explantions. I‘ve got. ohne question please. Which detergent do you use for sanitation?
Thank you an best regards
Manuel
Very explaining video thank you. I have a question tho; I use 5 Liter mini keg, after serving the beer (with 4-5 psi) and put the keg back into the frige, should I release the pressure ? if I don't it seems beer keeps carbonating...
Really useful video. I've struggled with foaming with my 5 litre mini steel keg. Can you go into the step down process with the beer lines at some point?
Yes i'll add that to the list of requests , thanks for the feedback
@@Geterbrewed if you put a beer line package together like detailed on the video I'd be interested
Great video!
Hi guys, late comment and hope you pick it up! A few questions…when you naturally carbonate you said that about 6 points off final gravity you shut everything off and let it go to work. How do you measure the gravity in a sealed pressurised system; do you seal off everything completely, or set a spunding valve to the pressure required for carbonating that type of beer; and how long do you carbonate under pressure for? Thanks in advance!
Hi , we have a spunging valve on all of our fermentation tanks and we have pig tail sampling taps that allows us to take gravity readings, the final part of fermentation carbonates then we condition and package ,hope that helps.
@@Geterbrewed That's great thanks. Love the videos! I've just kegged one batch with CO2 as a set and forget and keg conditioning another, but keen to use natural carbonation from the Fermzilla, but just getting my head around when to seal the spunding valve and how long to leave for! Thanks for getting back to me
thank you; great video
Thanks alot
Nice video!! I have a 1 gal keg to give "kegging a go"....My beer is at room temp in a Craft a Brew Conical Fermenter...totally fermented. Can I take 1 gal straight from fermenter to my keg and add CO2 straight away and then sit it in the fridge to chill? best way to not ruin the beer?
I'd suggest chilling the beer to at least 4 degrees first before adding the co2 so it absorbs the co2 correctly
This is really cool. Just a question when filling the 5ltr party keg. Is that priming sugar in the packet. I watched a few times but didnt hear what was in the packet. If it is Priming sugar how much do you put in?
Yes its priming sugar, no more than 5g per litre for the mini kegs
How can I contact you ? For education purposes
Great video but 3:11 should be forced carbonation not fermentation right? :-))
Yes well spotted text error imput
Just a quick one I do closed line transfer once cold crashed under head pressure . Is it beneficial to roll the keg under pressure aswell or no need! Cheers dan
I just roll the keg when force carbonating fast otherwise its not required
the very first mini keg you put something in from a plastic package....was that yeast or priming sugar?
Hi, Priming sugar
Where would I find those fermenter "housing" unit-like things that are around your fermenter? Those are cool
Its a ferminator , check them out here: www.geterbrewed.com/temperature-control/
In the transfer under pressure, how do know when the receiving Corny is full?
Weight, condensation
Cheers!🍻
I am curious about the keg conditioning. When you do that how much beer do you have to dispense before it runs clear of the yeast sediment?
Great vid. How much corn sugar was added directly to the 5 liter leg?
If its for the mini keg , the dosage rate is recommended lower than normal at 3-5g per litre
Hi. I have forced carbonate my corny overnight at 8 degrees. 20psi. I have now disconnected the gas leaving 20 psi in the corny.
So now can I leave this in a cool place for a few weeks to condition. Or should I expect the pressure to decrease in the keg. And will I need to increase the pressure again by connecting to the gas. I was going to leave for three weeks then carbonate again prior to use. What do you suggest. Thanks
Hi, You need to crash the temperature of the kegs contents to below 4 degrees before you start force carbonation, the cooler temperature will allow the liquid to pick up the co2
@@Geterbrewed yes. But ageing the beer in the corny. Could that be at a lower psi.
@@mikebeswick3420 yes you can put some small amount of top pressure in and let sit to condition, i misread and thought it was a carbonating question
@@Geterbrewed thanks
Regarding packaging beer straight into cans using something like the duofiller, would you have to force carbonate beforehand and then fill and seal and it will be fine... or are canners forced to can condition? Thanks in advance!
@Get Er Brewed - Home Brew & Craft Beer
i guess that batch priming with sugar beforehand would make it simple if so
Hey do you crash cool with the airlock still in place? I've read of the cold side oxidation that's possible but does it really matter??
Hi guys do you sell the pre made dispensing line with the step down all made up ?
No not pre made but its something i'll ask Cuan to look at adding to the website
At 6:00 you didn't purge the oxygen from the keg before rolling? Should you?
Yeah you could add a little co2 before turning the keg on its side and starting to roll
@@Geterbrewed So you dont purge any oxygen and you just fill the tank with co2 and roll. Doesn't the oxygen that is in that keg oxygenate the brew?
Just to let you know, the code for the silicone tubing is wrong - it's GEB2518
Thanks appreciate the feedback
