Kegging revolutionized my enjoyment of homebrewing. Not only is it a space/time/effort saver, but nothing beats pouring a perfect pint right off of draft. Great video as usual Trent, and nice kegerator!

Small advice from a prfessional brewer. These fridges are great to use for ripening your finished products. Just leave it in there at 7 °C for about one week and then cool it further down to about 1 °C and keep the te,perature for another 1 -2 weeks. Improves the taste a lot and the cold storage ensures save carbonisation for easiey tapping later on. Cheers from Germany

Not really, it will likely become oxidized, but you could maybe ask them to fill up a mini keg from the tap if you give them enough heads up.

Disconnect the gas, and release the pressure, wait a day and then add more pressure to you're desired amount. Repeat until its back to your liking/less foamy.

That’s ok. If it’s over carbed just bleed out the pressure and give it a day or so before pressurizing again. Also make sure you have at least 10ft of beer line for less foamy pours

Sanitizer is not really neccesary when bottling. Water with temperatur over 16 °F kills everything the beer could harm. Just wash out the clean (!) bottles with hot water. I use flip-top bottles and close them right after washing.

WOW. What a fantastic resource! Thank you so much man, I think you just convinced me, because my favourite beers to drink are Hazy IPAs but every time I made them in the past, I think they oxidised. They tasted disgusting. So I guess if I want to make my favourite beer, I can't really avoid getting a kegging system. Plus pulling your own beers is worth all the money!

Awesome video.. the only thing I would add is once you have a few kegs, a keg washer like the Bucket Blaster, the Marks keg washer or a DIY one, is worth every penny. They are awesome time and effort savers, but they also pay for themselves by the amount of PBW and Starsan/Saniclean you will save by doing multiple kegs the same time!

Great breakdown with simplicity! I still love my several cases of bottles and don't mind bottling for the ability to keep some of my past 4-5 brews or so laying around along with the most recent for both variety and seeing how they age over a few months. But I've been slowly accumulating kegging parts as I see them for used cheap and by the end of 2022 (the summer with some luck) I'll get there!
