How The Bottling And Kegging Processes Are Done

By Henry Kelly


When packaging the beer after production, there are 2 basic options that maybe used. Both of the options have pros and have cons. In bottling, you can save money because of its lesser costs but it can be time consuming. While kegging would require much initial investment but can save time. Most home brewers will bottle the fermented product either for aging or for some artisinal considerations.

This reason has made the people prefer kegging rather than bottle conditioning because they can benefit from it a lot. One benefit for brewers is they can have control on carbonation and can modulate it more accurately and deliberately. Mitigating the oxidation is also being done and the light exposure will be eliminated. Lastly, having few presentations can be much attractive than the home draught system. With this article, more information is learned about how bottling and kegging processes work.

Bottling is very tedious according to many and is also a time consuming chore, and thus, you must be prepared. Bottles that are used to bottle the beer come into different types. If your budget is limited, you are suggested to make use of commercial bottles. The commercial ones would require up front works in order for the labels to removed when cleaning. Twisting them off cannot be done as well.

Using the brown bottles would be better because of having an ability to block UV light that can break down those hop oils that can give the product a skunky smell. A bottle maybe sanitized in many different ways. Dishwasher is the easiest and the most commonly used way. Washing the items with using heated dry cycles is one sufficient way for killing some microorganisms that maybe present.

And if you are going to wait until the day for bottling, using the bottle brush and washer is suggested for ensuring that these are clean prior to the sanitization process. An alternative for dishwasher is the bottle tree and this is the best way for sanitizing and drying the items. Then after place them in the sanitizer and in a bottle tree for drying.

With using the racking cane and the tubing, the beer will be transferred from the fermenting bucket to the bottling bucket. When transferring, the sugar is being mixed to the product. The caps should be boiled first in few minutes using the stove. After, the beer is stored in a dark place with room temperature for 2 weeks. Before these are placed inside the fridge, be sure to cool them down first and see to it that these already have satisfactory carbonation.

When the carbonation is being forced, the process is referred to as kegging. This process for carbonation involves the use of carbon dioxide tanks instead of a priming sugar. Forcing the carbonation would probably result to having lesser sediments and quicker beer clearing.

The process is more advantageous than bottling. And this is because of having greater chances for product carbonation. And also, kegging process have the control of carbonation level for beer.

In this process, make sure that you are running a sanitizer and water into the system. The keg will then be filled with beer which is newly fermented before capping. Then next is attaching the carbon dioxide and turning it on. Purging the oxygen would be necessary by pulling the relief valve few times.
