Tips That Help You Become An Expert In Bottling And Kegging Beer From A Keg

By Matthew Campbell


When doing kegging and bottling, preservation of carbon is very crucial. In fact, that is the main thing you have to worry about. Carbonated drinks usually form a lot especially when you are dispensing. In the end, you remain with half of the drink and foam on top. The article highlights vital elements about bottling and kegging.

The best alternative for beer and in fact, all carbonated drinks, is counter pressure bottle fillers. These work in such a manner that they first remove all the oxygen from the beer bottle, purge it with carbon dioxide and then push the liquid into the bottle using a system of levers and valves. The cost of these fillers is about $90 but can cost more depending on the brand and the efficiency of their operation.

The purchase of a filler also depends on how frequent you will be transferring liquids. There is no need for you to buy the high-end devices if your intentions are for home use. There are some methods you could use to transfer drinks and still maintain their carbonation.

First, you should understand that there is a connection between temperature and pressure. When the temperature of a liquid rises then the gas inside the liquid is expelled out easily than when the liquid is cool. You can prove this by just pouring out a drink such as warm soda and take note of what happens during the process. Foams add effervescence takes place due to the rise in temperature of the soda. This is due to rise in temperature.

The trick that can assist you when bottling few containers of soda, therefore, lies in making sure that before you transfer the bottles, the temperature of that liquid is greatly reduced. If possible refrigerate the liquid to near freezing before you try to transfer the liquid from one container to another. The process is as simple as funneling the liquid from one container to the other.

Make sure that the containers you are using are very clean before you embark on this process. Clean the bottles and sterilize them properly when you want to begin the transfer. This is because you are dealing with products that are consumed by people. After the cleaning process, you can prevent air from contaminating them by covering them with aluminum foil.

Another thing that can make this process smooth is the use of tubes. The tube you use should be long enough and straight. You will be able to transfer the drinks from a large container to the containers that you cleaned and sterilized. Just ensure that the liquid is chilled all through this process.

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.
