FIRST KEG

Have a question on how to keg your beer or just want some tips on bottling! Don't stick a cork in it until you ask the Borg!

FIRST KEG

Post by dbrowning »

Tapped my first keg this afternoon and I must say it is DAMN a good summer Wheat Ale
Naturally carbed at room temp for 3 weeks then 2 weeks at 38 degrees
I think I was supposed to tap it and put CO2 on it for a few days before drinking it but I couldn't resist trying it
Ive have 4 or 5 glasses since and it is just RIGHT ( and so am I)
Head is perfect, Carb is perfect
VERY GOOD Beer

Will be transferring a Lager to keg tomorrow
And ordering another keg for my SNPA Clone that will be ready for bottling in a week or so

Congrats! I have only found one downside to kegging so far. My beer tends to run out sooner than when I bottled... :redface: :barman: :clink:

Congrats, I pulled my first glass, from my first keg also, of my MO Freedom SMaSH that has been on CO2 for a week and a half. Very nice to not have to spend the excessive amount of time cleaning and sanitizing 50 bottles then filling and capping. Gonna be so nice to bottle 1 liter or growlers from the keg to take to the camper! :clink:
Just might be my go to session beer!
