Establishing The Merits And Demerits Of Bottling And Kegging

By George Baker


When it comes to the brewing of beater, packing is something that needs prior planning before the actual procedure commences. Most brewers get a hard time before the choose the best method of storage to be used. The case is the same, in fact, more to newer brewers. This can never be a worry if people can be able to determine the possible ups and downs associated with bottling and kegging.

This debate can go up to infinity. Each person will always want to show how better their method of storage is better than the other. This makes new brewers be thoroughly mixed up since even the beer companies will never settle for a particular method. In reality, however, both of these two approaches are not perfect neither bad.

Having a good beer is the desire of every brewer. It is therefore expected that one gives themselves time to think of both these methods and come up with a personal judgment. If you are a person interested in crystal clear beer, go for kegs since they will allow all the yeast to settle. Bottle face lots of disturbances making the yeast unsettled hence the drink seem to have suspensions.

Being a home brewer you may wish to have a simple job in the preparation of your drink. Bottling will never need sophisticated equipment of work. In fact, it can be done directly from the main fermenter . Kegs will force you to have the gas cylinders, the O-rings, faucets and many other items. To make it worse is that you must have the know- how skills of dealing with such.

The time one takes to prepare a batch that will last a given period is also important. It is very evident that the use of bottles is time-consuming since you have to deal with one bottle to another ensuring its well filled and fitted. The case is different with the cylinders since you can be handling one or two in each preparation.

Controlling of the carbon dioxide level during fermentation is another aspect of importance. Though is vital; it is not easy to regulate the carbonation levels if you are using bottles. Kegs give a person a chance to monitor these levels to the desired point. Other cans may have designs that automatically control the levels of carbon dioxide.

Those who are for the use of these big cylinders will say that it is well portable. However, even a young kid will agree that it is easy to carry a bottle than carrying barrels. Aside from that, its very convenient to put your bottles in the fridge where you want your drink to get a certain convenient temperature before you take.

Much of the beer will end up getting wasted if one uses the kegs. Overflowing of the drink while one forgets to close the tap and faulty valves are avenues for beer wastage. With bottles it, you only have to pick one finish with go for another, simple!

Each of these methods has followers regardless of its downfalls. It is thus for one to check on the effects that they wish their beer to have to depend on the above factors of consideration and pick the method of their choice since both are valid.
