Safer Way Of Bottling And Kegging

By Cynthia Wood


Commercial brewers already know effects of oxygen. That is why they put measures to avoid it. Home brewers ought to be very cautious. The gas considerably affects stability of the final product. It does not have the desired flavor. People doing Bottling and Kegging on small scale should be careful. Observe standards to make sure that your product is the best.

Oxygen is good before the fermentation process begins. It is important at this stage. Proper yeast growth depends on presence of this gas. Because of this, most brewers ensure proper aeration of alcoholic drinks. Yeast growth is important. Over oxygenation is not common in this stage. It may happen when pure blast is used. During early stages of fermentation, yeast exhausts all gas. It is used for growth and expansion.

This particular gas will no longer be needed in the next stages. It becomes a contaminant. That is why beer balls and keg containers with pumps have poor quality drinks. This stems from oxygenation. Pumps will add air into beer. Such beer is nor refreshing. People are expected to empty the containers in a few hours. The quality is lost after few hours. Use better equipment.

This gas is not good in the final stages of packaging. The beer quality can be affected by small gushes of blast there is rapid destruction. Flavor stability is completely compromised. It becomes impossible to find clarity of that beer. Air easily interacts with polyphenols and the tannins. This will result in chill haze. There will be a permanent haze in this beer.

At the end of fermentation process, carbon dioxide sits above the beer. It is heavier than other gases. This air provides a protective cover to the fermenter. This layer can serve you to a great extent. The beer becomes better as it ages. In home brewing, it is easy to introduce air while transferring liquid from a vessel to the other. Excessive splashing, small leaks, pool seals or the kegging system can cause excessive oxygenation.

Find better ways to curb oxygenation. Make transfers less. Only do it when necessary. Most brewers will shun secondary fermentations because of the same reasons. Conical fermenters are used by commercial fermenters. They easily remove yeast. This stops unnecessary transfers. Oxygen barriers can help to a great extent. They maintain beer quality. Stainless fermenters and glasses are good barriers. Do not use plastics because they allow air in.

Splashing should be highly avoided during transfers. They lead to air entry. Utilize good siphoning tools. Poor seals allow air to penetrate. This is manifested by bubbles developing close to the seal. The container should be supplied with enough carbon dioxide. Make sure that splashing is avoided while bottling. There are bottle caps that greatly absorb oxygen.

These tips help brewers to a great extent. They should be aware that oxygen affects their work. Minimize its entry into containers. People should also avoid bottle bombs. Make use of quality ingredient. Do not be in a hurry. Allow the fermentation process to end as expected. Buy bottles of high quality. Inspect them before bringing them to your home. Beer should also be stores in cool places.
