Understanding The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Bottling And Kegging

By George Baker


Brewing at home may be fun, but there is much of thinking when it comes to packing the drink. Many are usually disturbed with new Brewers being more confused since they all seem not aware of the ups and downs of bottling and kegging which fall in their entire brewing process.

When we ask people which method is the best for beer storage we will end up having a debate that has no end. Each will want to justify their means of choice. Beer companies will never have a standard storage method. This can make you a person new in brewing very confused but for sure each one has its strength and weakness.

For you to make that tasty beer that you yearn for, then be ready to take your time and come up with an uninfluenced judgment on which means take. Kegs are attributed to clear beer since they have ample space where the yeast can easily settle. They also face little disturbance as one gets beer from them. Bottles are affected by movements hence the yeast appears to be floating in your drink.

Being a home brewer you may wish to have a simple job in the preparation of your drink. Bottling will never need sophisticated equipment of work. In fact, it can be done directly from the main fermenter . Kegs will force you to have the gas cylinders, the O-rings, faucets and many other items. To make it worse is that you must have the know- how skills of dealing with such.

The time one takes to prepare a batch that will last a given period is also important. It is very evident that the use of bottles is time-consuming since you have to deal with one bottle to another ensuring its well filled and fitted. The case is different with the cylinders since you can be handling one or two in each preparation.

Controlling of the carbon dioxide level during fermentation is another aspect of importance. Though is vital; it is not easy to regulate the carbonation levels if you are using bottles. Kegs give a person a chance to monitor these levels to the desired point. Other cans may have designs that automatically control the levels of carbon dioxide.

Portability is one thing that makes the cylinders be off the mark. They are heavy compared to bottles. More so, most fridges at home do not have enough space for one to put their cylinders. With bottles, you can be picking and place them in the refrigerator.

Much of the beer will end up getting wasted if one uses the kegs. Overflowing of the drink while one forgets to close the tap and faulty valves are avenues for beer wastage. With bottles it, you only have to pick one finish with go for another, simple!

All styles of storage mentioned above are applicable. It will depend on an individuals criteria of choosing which serves them best. Be assured that each will have its effect on your drink in the long run. None is better than the other.
