hello and very nice video! can i ask you if i need to have the co2 connect during carbonitation time or just set the psi one time and then in the fridge thank you

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Many thanks. Yes, you will need to keep it connected so that you have enough pressure to serve to beer which requires more pressure as you go. This is one of my early videos you will find many more on my channel covering all sorts of topics :)

[@thegreygrappler6280]

Do you still add brewing sugar like if you was to bottle it?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

You can but using co2 instead is easier and there is no sediment. Plus you have full control.

[@1978garfield]

Can you fill a corny key half full and still force carbonate? I am the only one in my house that drinks and I might not get through 5 gallons before it goes bad. I have looked at the mini kegs. You can get a 4 liter keg very reasonably. However the spear that fits it and has the fittings for CO2 and the tap cost more than 3x as the keg! I just have to measure my fringe and see if a corny keg will fit.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, you can, no problem there. Perhaps smaller batch sizes would suit you? See this video:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/annYl3l4e82Aerc

[@newmack5621]

Can you carbonate a keg by putting the pressure to it, unhook it so the pressure stays in the keg and then carbonate another keg? Just wondering if you need two co2 tanks or if you can pressurize one keg and then unhook it. Thanks guys!

[@omvin2750]

No answer.. damn, would love to know it too...

Going to purchase this setup soon and this video helps immensely. The main thing I want to to with kegging my homebrew is bottle straight from keg (with a beer gun). I would like to know if my bottles will still age/condition from keg like they do from pitching DME primer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great. Conditioning in bulk is actually better that splitting into smaller volumes. As long as your beer is carbonated in the keg then it will work just fine in bottles.

[@stuartmccaughey1122]

Great video David, perfectly instructive. I have exactly the same regulator and gas bottle as you. I am trying to get my first keg set up but I am having real problems getting the regulator connected to the keg. I have an 8mm reinforced gas line which connects to the regulator via a barbed connector, but I can't get the other end attached to the grey disconnect- it is too big for the barb. All the barbs available to buy seem to be the same size. Can I ask how you did this? Thanks

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Glad you enjoyed it Stuart. There are 2 ways to try. First one would be to heat up the end of the gas line in boiling water and then try to get it to fit. You need it to be tight of course! If this doesnt work then buy some extra line at the right size to fit, secure it with a metal clip and use a reducer so that you can connect the two pipe sizes. John guest fittings are very good. Plumbing supply stores will have them as will relevant webstores.

[@zt7489]

Hi David, thanks for the video. I'm making a Wheat Beer - Bavarian Dunkelweizen (3.6-4.48). I went to the linked site and plugged in 5c for a CO2 volume of 4 (between the two figures). The calculator came out at 2.01 bar, which comes to 29psi! Does this look correct? It's much higher than the usual 10-12 psi. How long should should 29 psi be set for, and does the serving pressure remain at 29 psi? Regards ZT

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi, its rather a lot for sure. You would not hold this for more than a week or two. Personally I never go this high but its a question of taste.

Hi. I have quick and i guess stupid question, even two. I am new to brewing, so thank you for your patience. Do I need my keg be hooked to the gass bottle for dispensing the beer or the initial pressure will sufice to empty the keg? Second: will the carbon regulator work with argon. I do use argon and dual (CO2/Argon) regulator when making wine. So, I wonder it that will work. Thanks.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi :) No problem. Yes the co2 needs to be hooked up. Yes, no problem using argon. It is just more expensive than co2 for most.

[@Nagellan]

Hello. I've seen on youtube video a method how to get rid of oxygen from a keg before we fill it up with beer. The method is to fiil up the keg full of water with star san and then pump out the solution using co2 and liquid line. I am wondering how much star san solution will remain at the bottom of the keg and how this will affect the beer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi, this will leave a very small amount. It is tasteless and serves as yeast food. All good :)

[@Nagellan]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew Ok. I didn’t know that star san solution can be yeast food also. That sounds good. Since now I don’t have to worry about star san anymore !!!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Star San is all good news :)

[@matteodesimone9066]

The calculator asks what the temperature of the keg is, is this asking what I plan to store it at or what it is currently at when I am transferring beer into it? Should I just be using the temperature that I have my beer fermenting at (or currently at) right before I put it into the keg? If I am supposed to be using the temperature the keg is currently at and it is defaulting to 36, should I be chilling my keg before filling with homebrew?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

That would be the storage temp. So if you put the keg into a fridge at say 5C then 5C is that temperature. I hope this helps :)

Hi David, thanks for all of the videos you do. You mentioned to keep the level of beer below the gas tube. Can you please explain why? My last brew I over filled because I could not see the level do to sanitation foam. Everything seemed to taste and work fine for me.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

The problem can be getting beer in your gas line. Small chance but the first pour fixes it. It is simply common advice to fill just under.

[@craiggambetta694]

Thank David for the video, i am sure someone in this comment list has asked, but can you reuse your sanitized liquid, it looks like you are putting it back into a bottle?

[@petegaff]

Thank you for the informative video David. After the keg is carbonated to the required level, then what happens with the co2 - is it left switched on or it it removed, until the next time you fancy a few pints? Will the beer go flat within the keg without a constant gas supply? Am just mindful that if I have say 35 to 40 pints in the corny (which could take several weeks to consume), how to maintain a carbed contents? Can it be left and carbed again later? Thank you in advance

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Sorry Peter, I thought I had replied to this but it seems the answer didnt go through! Glad you found the video useful. You should leave the gas left on as it will have a part to play in keeping the carbonate as you empty the keg gradually. You can remove it before you start drinking it though.

[@chikenlegs5]

Peter Gaffney Great questions. I am on second round with kegs and first wasn’t very successful with carbonation! What have you learned regarding your questions?

[@chikenlegs5]

David Heath Homebrew even though the serving gas is less psi, does this not allow the beer to release its co2 then becoming flat? I feel like this happened to me. Nothing on line really addresses that as to whether or not it’s an issue.

[@petegaff]

Hi chikenlegs5, I learned that the outside temperature [of the keg] made a difference to the carbonation process so obviously, the cooler the better. After a few mixed results, I tried not to rush the process thereafter, leaving the keg and gas connected, then taking small samples to test every day or so, until I felt I’d reached the desired level. An important thing I learned personally was to record and write down my results, throughout that testing period, noting the PSI level, the day number, my findings. This helped me gauge roughly the overall time I allowed. What didn’t help me at all was trying to speed up the process. You’ll have seen videos of folks rolling their kegs, shaking them etc. However when I’d tried this and attempted to kickstart the process quicker, my results were just too varied each time. Patience was my virtue. Keg up the beer, store in a cool area out of sunlight. Connect the gas, set to desired level. Then revisit it at regular intervals. Notepad at the ready, small sample out (quarter of a pint say), record result. Return next day or two, then repeat. When the desired level was reached, then turn the PSI right down but leave connected [on]. Yes I over carbed on occasion. More head than beer, consistency of champagne! Trying to tinker with the thickness of my beer lines to compensate, but that wasn’t the answer really. I worked away midweek at the time so it was harder for me to ‘keep an eye on it’ so to speak and test regularly.

[@chikenlegs5]

Peter Gaffney thanks for the thorough response! I tried to rush too. This time I’ll use priming sugar and only hook up tank to serve. Especially since all stores are closed to refill my tank!

[@Nagellan]

Hello. I am wondering what kind of tubing do you use for transferring beer ? Silicone? Or maybe polyurethane food quality? This speed fittings are for calibrated hose such as for air system and I think silicone hose is not proper for this fitting but maybe I am wrong. Can you also explain what diameter and length of hoses is best for serving/transferring a beer from keg?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Personally Ive switched over to EVA barrier tubing. Its dual wall, easy to work with and very protective. I like the 4mm ID 8mm OD type. It works great as beer & gas lines.

[@Nagellan]

Thank you for reply. Do you think the length of hose does matter?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, very much so. I use between 3-4 meters which gives good performance at many levels of carbonation.

Hi David, I have beer chiller and problem with massive foam. I use corny keg and the beer line between keg and chiller is 3m long 10mm OD. First, I carbonating beer on 4°C 24h on 3 bars.

Hi Velimir, Temperature is key here. Can you not leave the keg in the fridge? Also there is a relationship between line size and length vs co2 pressure. It is best to use a beer line calculator like this :-www.kegerators.com/beer-line-calculator/ Sadly it is hard to find a good one in metric.

Great to hear Peter. There are various ways. Firstly make sure the pressure on your regulator is set at a suitable level. Also look at beer line length online, there are calculators for this. I have a video coming that looks at tuning for flow control very soon also.

[@juanfabulous]

Can you keg a beer, add gas then disconnect and store for when it’s needed? Or must the beer stay connected to the gas? Sorry if this has been answered. I’ve got a keg I want to fill then put away for a few months time

You certainly can but it will need more gas and a low temperature if it is to be carbonated. But fir storage this is fine. Be sure to purge 3-4 times to remove oxygen.

I have contacted BOC and they have told me I will have to set up an account with them and pay a monthly rental on the bottle just like a pub! Can't you just buy the CO2 bottle and just pay to get it refilled? And the other questions is, if you have say half a dozen different beers, do you just add your required CO2 to the keg at the beginning of the storage, or does each keg require to be connected up to the CO2 all the time in order to stay in good condition?

If 2 or 3 or whatever, what is the unit of this.

There are tools online to help with this. For example, Belgian Ales are going to at between 1.9 - 2.4 CO2 volumes.

If that is possible, do I need to keep the CO2 connected the entire time or do I disconnect everything and just store the keg?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you. Yes, its much better to carbonate cold. Best to keep it cold also. Depending on temperature and the amount of pressure you put it under will determine the fridge time and carbonation time. After this then yes you can take it out of fridge but you will need pressure when serving it.

[@RoswellGator]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew If I want to store my newly carbonated keg, do I need to keep the CO2 connected or do I disconnect everything and store it in my fridge? Do I need to use the release valve to let out the excess CO2 before I store it?

[@ovidiumarian6719]

Halo David how much sugar in need to introduce in a keg to riferment the normal quantity or less. Obviously depending of the style

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Best way really is to use a batch priming calculator like this free one here:- www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

[@tylercox8811]

How much co2 once you start carbonating do you use

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Depends on the level of carbonation you are looking for. I usually go between 10-15 PSI personally. Some will use much more and then decrease it to carbonate a beer faster.

[@yogi83]

Great video, can I ask you, when pouring beer from a corny keg in a home setup can you pour through a beer cooler?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you. Yes you sure can. Its a popular way in some countries, especially for outdoor use.

[@trevormasters]

Is there any point in flushing the empty keg with CO2 before transferring the beer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

I would do it if you feel the beer will not be drunk within 3-4 months or if there are ingrediants that are easily effected by oxidisation like oats, wheat and rye for example.

[@trevormasters]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew I have never actually done it, but watching the video reminded me of it. The reason I started kegging was because of oxidation in my first NEIPA and that brew is lucky to last 3 weeks.

I would allow an average of 7-14 days depending on carbonation level and temp difference.

[@Eiriiik]

Thanks for great video! About to get my equipment for kegging now. Can put the keg away and store the beer after carbonation like i do with my bottles? and how long can it sit like that? Do i lower the pressure on my regulator when im gonna serve the beer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you. Storage of beer like this is all about the style. Beers with wheat and other adjuncts will go off quicker. Beers that rely on hop flavour also die off flavour wise after some months. Its not really the keg that is the limitation. Some beers, like high gravity need to sit for long periods before they hit prime condition also!

[@theodoreallegre1396]

Hey David ! I do have a question. Do we have to carbonate the beer at a specific temperature ? (Depends on the style i guess ?) And after at what temperature do you store the beer for serving ? For example can i start kegging ale even if i do not have a fridge ? (The room is at constant temperature : around 20°c)

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Sorry for the late reply, YT has some errors with message reporting recently so I only just got to see this! Having a low temperature is important otherwise you will need to use much higher levels of pressure.

Hi :) Best and easy way here is to use a calculator like this one:- www.brewersfriend.com/keg-carbonation-calculator/ It is best to carbonate over a week or so before the beer is at the right level rather than rushing it :)

@@DavidHeathHomebrew Thanks for that, I wasn't sure if it had the pressure required to force carbonate the beer keg, I was going to cool the keg down in the fridge and leave the Soda Stream 425g bottle attached for about 24 hours at about 15 - 20 Psi

That will work fine. I would suggest normal pressure until the keg is at cold temperatures to maximise the co2, its a waste otherwise as I see it.

[@chrismottes67]

Hi David, Thank for all your helpful videos. I was hoping you could help me regarding carbonation. I repeatedly have the problem that I am not getting enough (for my taste) carbonation in my Cornelius kegs. I have tried everything from the recommended setting on Brewersfriend to setting the pressure at 30 psi for the first 3 days then reducing to 10-12psi for a week. I have not had a fridge during these tests, but I have had them lying down here in my shed in Denmark during the winter, so the temp has been between 2-7 C - my assumption was that this would be just as efficient as a fridge. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance from Copenhagen.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thanks Chris. Temperature is really a vital thing in the carbonation process and will limit what is achievable sadly. 2-7 C should work just fine though. Have you checked for leaks/ seen much gas loss?

[@chrismottes5831]

No I’m pretty certain there is no leak - the pressure stays constant and a lot of foam is created. I have just installed a fridge in the shed, maybe that will do the trick.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great :)

[@chrismottes5831]

I find the KZbin interface really confusing but I’m hoping you have a video on how to install an ink bird or similar thermostat to control the temperature of the new fridge.

[@danm6047]

Great video. However, PBW, here in the states anyway is a non caustic cleaner. I think you refer to it as a "caustic soda based cleaner." You can use caustic, however must be extremely careful as it is highly corrosive. I'd say caustic works better, but not a typical home brewer type cleaner, and can only be used on certain types of materials. Typically you find it in professional breweries. Maybe I am wrong, don't want to sound like I know to much when I really don't. Cheers!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Well spotted Dan! I have to be honest I dont use PBW much but its a well known cleaner so I mentioned it. I use caustic soda based cleaners.

[@nirniks]

Hi nice n informative video. Generally how many days you need to put beer under kegging for carbonation to achieve? Cant I use it once I force carbonate like soda company/Coke or Pepsi. They just carbonate flat drink on the fly and serve it. Is it something possible with beer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Usually I carbonate over 1 week. There are fast carbonation techniques out there that involve rolling the keg and adding lots of pressure. I use the slower method for more control.

[@henrikschou1777]

Hi David. If i carbonate in my keezer and when the beer is balanced, I take it out and let it come to room temperature for storage, and then put it back in the keezer a few days prior to tapping, will the CO2 volume still be the same in the beer? Or shall i leave them in the keezer the whole time?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

+Henrik Schou I used to do a similar thing myself years back, as long as you dont leave more than a month or twos gap then all will be fine, perhaps more but I never tested that, so cannot speak out of experience.

Hi David, thanks for your videos! I'm new to kegging and have kegged a couple beers now. However, this time around after force carbonating my beer for a few days the beer is very foamy. I've just reduced the carbonation pressure to serving pressure, but all i get is foam. Do you normally need to wait after reducing the pressure in the keg prior to serving?

Many thanks for any advice you can give and keep up the good work! Ed

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thanks Ed. IPA and hoppy styles in general are really a question of taste in terms of conditioning. Many people enjoy them best fresh. For this reason they go straight to keg and carbonate in a fridge. If you carbonate at warmer temps then this will have a much reduced effect also. If you do decide to condition then I would suggest you purge the keg with co2 after transfer. This will protect the beer against oxidisation. Hope this helps :)

Hi David. Do you have any experience with dispensers like Pygmy 25? I often experience a lot of foaming when I tap a beer. Normally the beers in the kegs are at room temperature, the dispenser is set to around 5 deg C, co2 vol in the beer around 2.4, with a co2 pressure at around 3 bar for serving. The beerline I use is a 1.3 m 5/16". Any ideas on how to lessen the foaming?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Henrik Schou Room temperature is your problem there! You could increase you line length with some 3/8" that would help. There are also anti foam products out there. My stout keg is stored in my basement at 14 deg c and was a challenge to reduce foam in.

[@henrikschou1777]

Thanks for the answer. If I understand you correct, I add 1 m 3/8" at the keg connector and then reduce to the 5/16" 1.3 m line up to the dispenser? I have a keezer at home, which works like a treat. The dispenser is only used when we're out.

Frustrated now because the taps and gas bottles were out of stock, but I have the gas bottles on order from a second-line supplier. Going to spend the weekend organising the garage and setting up the kegerator, sans taps. And, sadly, probably bottling my latest batch. Burch's Law doth have its sting.

You did not show when and what to do with your keg after it is filled! Do you pressurize it and put it in the kegerator? do you fill it and put it in a corner with or without pressure? do you add priming sugar to your keg before putting it in the kegerator or not? do you store it cold or room temperature to condition your beer? can you drink it right away or is it still "green"? I appreciate your time and effort in making the video but in my opinion there is much needed information that was left out.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

There are always extra questions thats just the nature of the subject! I am happy to help as follows:- Pressure the keg while it is cold in a fridge or kegerator.Adding priming sugar is an option but if you do that then the keg will need to be at warmer temps for that to work depending on the yeast used. To condition ales this is best done at 14 deg c, lager beers can condition at fridge temps. Some beers are drunk fresh or green (choose the word that suits you!) they are mostly IPA or hoppy styles. Hope this all helps, feel free to ask more if needed, I am more than happy to help.

[@boatbuilder1954]

Great David Thank You, I kegged an ale 6 days ago and it is in the kegerator at 5 deg c (41F) at 10psi I probably should have left it out in the basement a week or 2 before I put it in the kegerator. Hopefully in a week or 2 it will taste better. Thanks for the reply.
