Kegging 1 of 4

[haputanlas]

Would you prepared if gravity reversed itself? The only thing I can't figure out is how to keep the change in my pockets. I've got it. Nudity.

I have a question Chris, Do you use food grade co2? or is there such a thing. The only place close to me is the welding supply store that fills co2. Will the welding co2 work?

[jbrookeiv]

@1budselect Yea, it will work just fine.

[rawimpact]

@1budselect food grade, welding co2 can contain oils

[etrezet]

great video. can't believe you dumped that beer. thats a sin. there;s thirsty people in china... COME ON!!!

[TheHeadphonesBand]

Thanks Chris!

Because lots of people into homebrew kegging use Oxiclean for cleaning and Starsan for sanitizing, just do a little research dude. Good stuff Chris..

[Mike1614b]

Oxy clean? why not use the no rinse beer sanitizer? (starsan, c-brite) thats what these cleansers are designed for. Cleaning the line from the keg to the faucet every time just isnt necessary. Ive had a keg for 6 years. I rinse that line every 4 kegs. Never had a problem- at all. Rinsing the keg is waaay easier with a rinse wand. Hold the keg upside down, and the water shoots up into the keg and rinses it in seconds. just sayin

You are the brewing man! Wish you would do more brew vid's Stout or a Porter.

"whatever's in there I'm just gonna dump it"........ HUHWHADJEWSAY ???

"gonna take this upstairs and dump it"

NOOOOO !

then u make us watch you rinse it down the drain. cruel and unusual.

[conduct623]

i'm thinking about kegging, where do you re-fill your co2 tank at.

[silver4269]

Starsan negates the PH of the Oxyclean (or PBW), so I give the keg a quick rinse/shake with hose water, then a cup or two of Starsan, shake that up and pitch it. then transfer my Starsan keg into the newly cleaned keg. so I've always got starsan rotating through my 30 odd kegs.

[PlinyThePorter]

Why couldnt you just rinse with oxy clean the first time? Save a step, some CO2, and some water.

[ruffdeezy]

awesome videos on kegging, im building my kegerator right now, should be up and running within a few days.

[bnjfae]

Thanks alot, I have always had commercial beer on tap, but just set myself up to put my homebrew on tap also

. Your videos were very, very helpfull. Thanks again and brew on

[gruversm]

Chris: I appreciate your thoroughness! Thanks again.

[sluggh]

Makes bottling look easy :)

Seriously, thanks for taking some of the mystery out of this.

[mrdrysdale64]

Excellent my friend! All of us homebrewers need to share videos and link sites!

[pchousedoc]

A little bit of overkill IMHO, but never a bad thing. Better to be too clean than risk infection. I usually do the hot water and Oxyclean, then hot water again about every other batch. Just hot water in between.

I have the exact same setup (Sanyo kegerator). Love it too. Anyone w/o a kegerator is missing out, build one. :)

[Xronoz]

I usually skip the oxyclean/pbw rinse as well, unless it's a new keg or if it hasn't been done in a while. It's a good thing to do though, at least once in a while, to keep your equipment clear of any buildup.

[BobbyFromNJ]

This is just about identical to what I do except I skip the oxyclean after I've done it once to a newly aquired keg. A hot water rinse followed by Iodaphor (also pumped through the tap) is all I've done.

Thank you!!! I've wanted to know this for some time!!
