Information On Bottling And Kegging

By Janet Clark


There is no information that has been more pleasing to home brewers than knowing that their home made beer tastes cooler than that packaged in smaller containers. We all want to feel the freshness thus this has led to a heated discussion on which is better between bottling and kegging. Everyone is out there defending their product so as a customer you can give a neutral decision.

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 processing period there is tenderness for oxygen to find its way into the container compared to that coming straight from the tap. These containers in most times cause fermentation which gives beer some undesirable taste. However kegged beers have no exposure to oxygen thus their tenderness is going skunk is minimal.

There are several advantages that are associated with having your alcohol in smaller bottles. These containers are easily available and at an affordable price unlike gallons which are very expensive. With the big gallons you have to invest your time and energy in cleaning them. In case they are not thoroughly cleaned you could lose a lot of beer.

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 them is always a big deal fort a home brewer before one gets used to it. They are so many containers and each has to be given proper attention. You need to rinse all of them in hot water, keep each upside down and place in a strategic area where no one will fall or break them. Keg gallons are big so few are used.

With gallons you have freedom to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide that you need. Unlike with the beer being packaged in smaller containers here you do not need to add sugar. This sugar is added to facilitate presence of carbon dioxide but for someone selling from the tap can determine the amount of oxygen they need as long as the system has been set to tap it.

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.
