Inagural Brew Kegged

[Seveneer]

I was going to rack my "inaugural brew" (from this brewery) into a secondary fermenter today but decided to go for kegging instead.

I'm glad I did too as I'm on my 3rd pint and it's going down a treat It still tastes a bit green, and so it should as I only brewed it last Sunday, but this is definitely going to be my house bitter.

I hope everyone's brews are going well today.

I brewed 50l of the bitter (whose recipe I've just put in the Recipe's section) and I've got 50l of a wheat beer fermenting away. Might go for a hefe tomorrow.

Yes it's quick and, by right's, I shouldn't drink it yet but I figured I've got 50l of this so I can spare a few pints. And it does taste sooo good

Don't get me wrong, it's not matured. It's still very green but I've paid good money for worse beer in pubs. With 50l in kegs it should mature by about the time I have the last few pints to enjoy .

I think the reason it's drinkable so quickly has more to do with the recirulation and the 2 hour boil I had to give it due to poor efficiency

Que es the difference between kegging and using a 2ndary? I use corny kegs as 2ndary fermentors (using gas post & blow off tube)? Have you knocked off the yeast?

I normally go straight to the keg after a week rather than secondary. I may transfer to another keg later. So I guess there's no real difference between kegging and secondary.

No I didn't "knock off the yeast". I paid for it fair and square
