Just to be sure...

Post by zehnernet » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:49 pm

Hi Brewers,

it's my third brew now. The primary has finished, and I kegged it already (King keg).
I have read a lot in the forum and other sources. But all the information is too much for me and I'm a little confused.
I know there are many ways to go on.
There are many discussions about pressure and temperature.
Am I right to go on like this:

Let it for a couple of days in a room with about 18° C, put it than outside or for instance in my shed with 4°C in the night and up to 10°C in daytime for 1, 2 or more weeks?

Shall I fill my keg up with co2 now or just wait (I put 70gr sugar in it for 23 litres)?
Are there other ways to get the beer more fizzy?

And at the end another question for the future:
I want to move to real pressure kegs. Can I use these Cola containers? And what do I need for tapping? Can I put an english beer pump at the end? What are u using for tapping?

Thanks a lot in advance for any tips!

Hi DaaB,

thanks a lot for the leading...

Yes, I mean the corni kegs. Why haven't I found that page :?
I hope I will get such a keg here in Germany. First sneeking at ebay was not very successfull. I only found one shop that sells them for about 115 Euros (aprox 76 quit), without any fittings.
May be I have to buy a keg in a beverage market with coke or something in it, drinkl it ( :? ) and use it instead taking back :wink: .

Cheers!
