Understanding The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Bottling And Kegging

By George Baker


When it comes to the brewing of beater, packing is something that needs prior planning before the actual procedure commences. Most brewers get a hard time before the choose the best method of storage to be used. The case is the same, in fact, more to newer brewers. This can never be a worry if people can be able to determine the possible ups and downs associated with bottling and kegging.

This debate can go up to infinity. Each person will always want to show how better their method of storage is better than the other. This makes new brewers be thoroughly mixed up since even the beer companies will never settle for a particular method. In reality, however, both of these two approaches are not perfect neither bad.

Having a good beer is the desire of every brewer. It is therefore expected that one gives themselves time to think of both these methods and come up with a personal judgment. If you are a person interested in crystal clear beer, go for kegs since they will allow all the yeast to settle. Bottle face lots of disturbances making the yeast unsettled hence the drink seem to have suspensions.

If you expect a direct means which needs little knowledge, then avoid kegs. The bottles will never force you to go for many apparatus and furthermore who does not know to fill a bottle with a liquid and make it air tight? For the keg to work efficiently, you will need a good number of equipment like the gas cylinder, O-rings, faucets and several others and also be aware of how to get them connected.

Going ahead, there is the aspect of the time issue. Most people are busy and would wish to spend less time in the preparation process. Less time is taken in filling the so-called cylinders. On the other hand, one will be forced to take a lot of time before filling all the bottles and ensuring they are all well cupped.

Controlling of the carbon dioxide level during fermentation is another aspect of importance. Though is vital; it is not easy to regulate the carbonation levels if you are using bottles. Kegs give a person a chance to monitor these levels to the desired point. Other cans may have designs that automatically control the levels of carbon dioxide.

It is not easy to carry the cylinder from one place to another. Bottles are very convenient to carry around since they are portable. Most fridges back at home are designed for bottles only . Putting a full cylinder in the freezer sounds crazy.

It is evident enough that can lead to beer wastage. You may end up overflowing your glass or forgetting to close the tap well the valves may also not be perfect. Bottles do not need filling from time to time . Your work will be picking and drinking.

It is now clear that neither of the two is good or bad. It is upon an individual to settle down and see what they want to come in hand with their drink. Clearness, time, portability or even taste will determine which method to use.
