How To Setup Kegging Equipment For Homebrewed Beer

In this video we cover the basics on how to setup your kegging equipment so that you'll be enjoying your homebrewed beer on tap in no time. We cover how to install the regulator to the CO2 tank. How to identify and attach your liquid and gas disconnects. How to connect everything to your corny keg and also how to check for leaks.

Who has made the switch from bottling to kegging?

[@fredfosdick4093]

I've been brewing for 20 years. Recently my bottles have some kind of bacteria that clings to the inside(like a gel) and is impossible to get rid of. I've spent hours with a brush, and I still can't clear it. I just bought a Kegland series x. I'm totally clueless how to keg and dispense. Hence why I'm watching these videos. I bought a carbonation lid for my Corny kegs, and I still don't know what pressure to set the regulator at

@@fredfosdick4093 For most beer styles you will want to have the regulator set to 10-12psi for serving and carbonating.

[@fredfosdick4093]

@@graintoglass I've set it at 12, and it's working perfectly, thanks.

I'm putting together my first keg and this video has been a great help. You guys are awesome, thanks you! If I didn't live in Australia I'd be shopping with you for sure

Cheers!

I also will be making the switch. Saving for a RoboBrew then kegging is next. This is getting to be an expensive hobby! Thanks for the videos. Glad to have a great homebrew store in Manitoba! Keep it up!

Never lame bro. Left loose right tight, those right there got me a girl cuz her boyfriend didn't know how to change a car tire. True story.

I was an aircraft mechanic for almost 28 years, building and maintaining U.S. military jets. Righty tighty, lefty loosie ran through my mind daily. 😆

Hi Paul, you mentioned in the video that if you were in a hurry to carbonate you should increase the gas to around 30psi for 3-4 days. Do you also add priming sugar when you transfer the beer into the keg before gassing? Thanks Mike

[@JP_Idols_of_Torment]

Want to... first comes switch from extract to all grain. Vids are looking sharp!

[@graintoglass]

Thanks JP. We are lucky to have a great friend who is helping us record and produce these videos. I'd also go from extract to all grain before going from bottling to kegging. Or better yet, do both :P

[@manuelcampos2845]

Nice video! I'm planning to set up the same system, but I have a question...how many kilos of CO2 should have the cylinder to carbonate 60L??

[@graintoglass]

Hi, a 4.5kg (10lb) co2 tank should carbonate and dispense around 10 60l kegs. Cheers

[@manuelcampos2845]

@@graintoglass thank you guys! You rock! Cheers

Hi. So you keep the CO2 cylinder in the fridge connected the whole time?

[@JB-mm5ff]

"We recommend keeping CO2 cylinders out of the fridge to avoid a decrease in pressure. For example, dispensing a regular North American Lager (like a Budweiser, Miller, or Coors) is half a pound for each half barrel keg provided the CO2 is stored at room temperature."
