Guidelines To Help You Become An Expert In Bottling And Kegging Beer From A Keg

By Matthew Campbell


The only factor they you have to consider when bottling beer is if you will be able to keep the carbonation or not. Also, you might encounter other issues when you want to use the dispensing device to be used to fill the carbonated beverages. This issue will be as which fill up and leads to half-filled bottles and too much foam. The article sheds light on aspects that will help you in bottling and kegging.

To bottle your beer without losing its carbon, it is recommended that you use a counter pressure filler. It is very efficient because it eliminates oxygen from the bottle first, fills it with carbon dioxide and the liquid is finally pushed at high pressure into the bottle. Fillers usually go for approximately $90, and this price could go up according to the quality and also the brand it is made from.

Getting the counter pressure filler obviously depends on your bottling needs. For instance, when you are a home brewer who needs to bottle a few cans of beer every few days or so, it might not be sensible to look for expensive counter pressure filler. There are techniques you can use to bottle the liquids without losing the carbonation.

To start with, there is always a deep connection that exists between temperature and pressure. Whenever the temperature of liquid goes up, the dissolved gas in it comes out more easily than when the temperature cools down. This is a concept that you can verify by simply looking at what happens when you pour out a can of warm soda; there will be a lot of foam coming out of it, because of that raised temperature.

You should, therefore, ensure that the temperature of the liquid you are transferring is low to make this process easier. You can do this by refrigerating the liquid to the lowest temperature possible without it turning to ice. After doing this, you will find that the carbon in the drink will remain intact when you are transferring it to another container.

To make this drink safe for consumption you should make sure that the bottle in which you are transferring the drink to is clean and sterilized. This should be done before adding anything to the bottle. Also after cleaning ensure that you cover the opening with an aluminum foil to prevent contamination.

To make the transfer process easy, you might want to use a long straight tube. All you need to do is transfer the cold liquid from the large container to the small sterilized bottles. It will be an easy process especially in cases where the liquid is at a very low temperature.

Still, in case you are not sure about the entire transfer process, and whether most of their carbonation was retained, you can have the drinks consumed within 24 hours of the transfer process. Note that the carbonation is sometimes part of that preservation process and when the gas fizzles out of the container, the shelf-life of the liquid becomes much shorter.
