How To Keg Home Brewed Beer With The Coors Light / Miller Home Draft System - Beer Review Dude

http://beerreviewdude.com

NOTE: One point I forgot to add in the video was that the CO2 cartidges you purchase must be food grade, and can not contain any sort of lubricant. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of your CO2 cartidges and they will be able to advise you.

Today, I am featuring a video showing you how to keg your home brewed beer with a Coors Light Home Draft System. These keg systems are available at grocery stores and liquor stores nationwide, and make a perfect vessel for cheaply and easily kegging your homebrewed beer.

is the home draft container plastic or aluminum?

@MustanGT2003 Plastic.

I bought a box of 16g food grade CO2 cartridges, but the neck was to long and it did not fit tight into the tap and all the CO2 leaked out. Where can I get the right size-shape CO2 cartridges?

[jbrookeiv]

@EDillio The brand I used was Genuine Innovations.

@MKRM27 We homebrewers are well aware of sanitation issues, and there probably aren't many of us who wouldn't swish some idaphor or star san in it before we purged with co2 and put home brew in these. Done properly, beer would last months and months in something like this, as long as the beer style would lend itself to aging, that is. You keep right on drinking the store bought stuff, and leave projects like this to those of us who know better.

to MKRM27.. who cares about it staying fresh. It's beer! You don't leave it in there for an uncertain length of time. I'd drink the hell out of it and then.. refill it yeah!

@jbrookeiv How are you purging this system?  I went to LHBS, they described a fairly decent way of using the bottling wand with a stopper to fill Growlers from a kegging system - in order to keep CO2 'dissolved' in the liquid. does holding this tap upright and purging out excess gas work here? On a separate note - the airsoft CO2 cartridges often have Silicon oils in the gas mixture to help lub the mechanisms... you'll probably see an unnatural oil slick in the beer if used...

Great video! negative posters are just idiots, guess they never heard of starsan. Was using mini kegs, but they don't last forever, and Midwest Brewing just raised the price to 15 bucks for a new empty one. Really guys $15? Will be using your method, thanks.

Nice Video. Can't believe how stupid some of these posters are! They don't have the balls to put up a video but make dumb-ass comments to guys that do. How's the home brew coming?

[jbrookeiv]

@MKRM27 Have you ever kegged homebrew? You always fill the container in the presence of oxygen, but then purge it with CO2 once filled. It's the exact same principle here. Also, the bottle is obviously airtight or else it would leak CO2. Get your facts straight before calling me an idiot.

[Mustangdude20]

@jbrookeiv exactly its the same materials used for the tap a draft so you should have atleast 5 bottling in each home draft system before the bottle degrades
