Information Regarding Bottling And Kegging

By Janet Clark


There is nothing as sweet as brewing your beer. At least that is what most homeowners have been trying to prove to us. The content still feels fresh since it is properly stored by the handlers. You can taste the two products and tell us which one is better between bottling and kegging. However outlined here are facts about the two processes with their pros and cons.

There are several factors that affect the quality of beer. Air, light and heat are the worst enemies and can make it go bad easily. Think about the condition of the container. Since they are sealed in case they are placed direct to sunlight the drink could end up losing its taste. Think bout many dealers who place these drinks in a place with direct heat.

During the packaging of beer into smaller containers oxygen finds its way in during the sugar adding process when stirring is taking place. You cannot compare with that being stored in gallons since most times sugar is not added therefore air does not get a chance to penetrate. This means that the chance of that beer going bad is minimal.

However there are advantages associated with putting your beer in smaller bottles. It saves you a lot of time and is not that expensive compared to putting beer in those big gallons. You will need to invest a lot of money and time to ensure that cleaning is done properly since you could end up losing a lot of alcohol in case you are not careful.

If you are using commercial bottles they are even easier to deal with since labels can be removed and rebranded. One can also get brown ones that you shield light and heat from giving your beer a skunk smell. With those you can be sure that the quality of beer reaching your customers is the best thus helping you to maintain a good relationship with them.

Before putting more beer in an already used container, they need to be thoroughly cleaned. This is always the hardest part of a home brewer. You will need to be there to supervise that attention is given to every container. They should be rinsed with hot water and place them upside down for faster and easier drying process.

It is easy to clean and refill the gallons and you can use this system to carbonate your beer. It does not work if you are using the small containers meant for individuals. With the small ones sugar must be used but with the bigger gallons since you can directly carbonate there is no need for sugar. This is the only way that you can be so sure that your beer will carbonate.

If you decided you want to be in the business longer be ready for the associated costs. Purchasing the containers is expensive and maintain too is difficult. You could need one with some customized features so more money is needed before the business begins. A refrigerator too could be needed since if alcohol is put in these containers it could take long time to cool.
