Film on how to prime, fine and eventually serve cask conditioned ale in the home. I am an expert in this field as I have spent many a day in the pubs and cellars of England. When beer is eventually pulled through the beer engine, it will be exposed to air. In a later video, I will show you how to vent the cornelius keg correctly, for that perfect, sparkling pint of cask ale. Any questions pertaining to this side of the arts, can be addressed to me.

  • any clue on a next installment? i would love to know how youve reworked venting to the corney keg.

  • @dirkchiverism I dunno. A local brewery is using my beer engine now. I brew on their pilot system periodically. Should be doing something soon with them, which will be cask.

  • I love the song,  who is the band?

  • @immolateus New Model Army. One of the greatest bands in the world. 

  • Do you seal the keg with c02 after priming then vent it off once the O ring is set tight and no leaks? primed my brown ale today I purged the air and tried to seal the keg with 7psi of co2 and over about 3 hours it was down to 2 psi, Im just after putting it up to 30 psi now and I think it sealed it made a little kinda pop sound, will the yeast still condition the beer with that much pressure on it? its at room temp also. cheers.

  • @videoMC2010 Yes, I hit it with about 30 PSI a few times to purge the air.

    You can see the lid pop up and seal the keg.

  • Wondered how your 13lb of malt was going to fill a firkin (9 imp gal cask) of beer with IPA I forget the size of those soda kegs, but you must be running at a low efficiency. I used about 8lb or 9lb of English Maris Otter(best extraction and full flavour 2-row malt barley) for 5 imp gal of IPA strength beers. You may need to play around with your mash liquor, adding a little temporary hardness to get a better extraction rate with poor maltings.

  • Nice vid. Thanks!!

  • Glad to see you got it going again!

  • Innis and Gunn is now making a Cask beer you can buy. Its pretty good.
