We are all still learning David, even now at my age. Think you did a wonderful job there. Remember tho the beer will already have some carbonation from being pressure fernented, you may have to alter your carbing set up on that keg so it dont overcarb. Cheers my friend \_/

When we bought the kegerator in the run of things a good buy,having bottles on rack on dining room table can be irritating,we just happened to call in at Love Brewing for me to buy a wine kit and came out having bought a kegerator we had the one in the shop hence the bonus of it being assembled as they didn’t know when they would get one in (Covid) We now have to clean the kegs and pipes It keeps him happy Will have to hope he saves me some 😅

Looks like you nailed it sir. When I do brew I tend to put my kegs on a scale and zero it whilst empty. You can buy a fitting from Kegland for the purpose of over filling - it has a little floating ball in it.

Yep. I do the same. I use my grain scales and fill the keg to just over 18.5kg. Saves my a lot of cleaning up from overfilling... lolz

Live and learn, you did fine. Your fermentation vessel had measurements on it... you could just put in up 18 or 19 liters and stop the transfer. Fill rest into bottles. I like that you said wife will clean it for you. She must be very thoughtful. Good video.

Thanks mate I know I made a few silly errors but you guys out there have given me some great advice on here so I thank you all and will put into practice the tips you have given me. The wife hasn’t cleaned the fermenter yet so looks like it will be a job for me today😂

@@Dts1953 I thought you were making a joke about the wife cleaning your fermenter. BTW, we all know how we like to make sure this is super clean. Better off doing it yourself.

Great update as usual and I'm sure you'll get there eventually, not bad for a first attempt though. Stay safe and well, SIR, cheers, Schnuz.

If the empty cylinder has gas in (preferable to purge oxygen) connect transfer hose and insert something to allow the gas to blast out sanitiser from tube. Rather than using spunging valve, lift the ringlet pressure relief valve on the keg and turn 90 degrees. This does the same job and lets air out as you transfer. I use scales when transfering but if the fermentation tank has less than 19L of beer I don't bother. The kegland spunding valve can be simply broken down and cleaned with warm water. I transfer slowly. A liveliy fermented beer will foam up in the keg and cause overspill. Otherwise well done.

Thank you for the excellent advice.. I should have put sanitizer in the keg and connected the hose to it as you said. Instead I stupidly put it in a bucket of sanitizer and soaked it. I will definitely do what you say in future👍👍👍

@@Dts1953 i clean a keg. leave it empty. The transfer hose I clean and spray starsan or the like in it and store for next use . Then when I come to fill the keg I put a bit of gas in the keg and then connect the transfer hose. Turn off the gas supply and then insert something in the other end of the transfer hose to purge the Line. Blowing out a full keg of sanitiser is wasting gas. So at this stage a keg is ready to be filled. Transfer beer. Now I purge a few times with gas ( a much smaller area). i have done this over a hundred times and never experienced oxidization. I tend to make lagers and maybe Hoppy beers might not fare so well. Saving Co2 seems to be an issue, so this is why I comment so.

I’d be well happy if I brewed a NEIPA that looks like yours ( been to scared to do one up to now ) You can also connect a loop to your keg ( out fermenter into keg out of keg into fermenter it goes round and round ) as long as you have gravity and the pressure is lower in your keg when you start you don’t have to use extra C02. Think I showed it on a vid maybe my citra nova lager vid. I cold crash my beers and when you transfer you can see the condensation on the side of the keg so you can see how full it is. Failing that I put it on some scales. Great vid and a great looking beer cheers 👍🍻

Very interesting video David, I can only think that you weight the keg to work out how full it gets. Be really interesting to see if you can notice a difference in hop quality using the closed transfer method
