Information Regarding Bottling And Kegging

By Janet Clark


Nobody can understand advantages of brewing your own beer of how sweet it is from that which has already been packaged. Beer tastes way better when getting it from the tap. Bottling and kegging have been a major topic of discussion with people stating which method they think is better. You can try experimenting by tasting both at the same time.

There are several factors that affect the quality of beer. Air, light and heat are the worst enemies and can make it go bad easily. Think about the condition of the container. Since they are sealed in case they are placed direct to sunlight the drink could end up losing its taste. Think bout many dealers who place these drinks in a place with direct heat.

During the packaging of beer into smaller containers oxygen finds its way in during the sugar adding process when stirring is taking place. You cannot compare with that being stored in gallons since most times sugar is not added therefore air does not get a chance to penetrate. This means that the chance of that beer going bad is minimal.

However there are advantages associated with putting your beer in smaller bottles. It saves you a lot of time and is not that expensive compared to putting beer in those big gallons. You will need to invest a lot of money and time to ensure that cleaning is done properly since you could end up losing a lot of alcohol in case you are not careful.

With commercial containers you are able to cut on a lot of cost since they can be rebranded and labeled once you empty them. If possible try investing in brown bottles since they can keep light and excessive heat that could result into an awful smell. You want to maintain a good relationship with your customers and the only way to do so is give them the best.

Cleaning process is always the hardest for every home brewer. It is time consuming sine every container must be given special attention. Before you get used to it you will take some time. They should be rinsed with hot water to kill any previous germs. Also each should be placed upside down for water to dry up so that they can be ready to package the next beer.

It is easy to clean and refill the gallons and you can use this system to carbonate your beer. It does not work if you are using the small containers meant for individuals. With the small ones sugar must be used but with the bigger gallons since you can directly carbonate there is no need for sugar. This is the only way that you can be so sure that your beer will carbonate.

However it is expensive to putting your beer in these gallons. The major challenge is the cost. These containers are big and purchasing one does not cost few dollars. Again cooling your drink becomes such a hard task since most of them are above 25 feet tall. You will need to keep on carbon dioxide pressure on because your goal is to dispense beer with a lot of foam to give it nice presentation.
