The hobby of homebrewing beer

Kegging Homebrew

We did a few posts over a year ago talking about getting started in kegging your homebrew. We talked about walking through all the components one part at a time. Unfortunately, that project never really got off the ground and into the blog. However, have no fear. If you can’t write it, you can make videos about it!

Here is the first post in a series that will carry us through April and likely into May. All about the parts and processes, ins and outs of getting your beer out of bottles and into a draft system. (Actually, I bet you’d really like to see how to get beer from kegs and into bottles! Patience, grasshopper.)

With the transition to kegging homebrew, we thought it made sense to think of the final destination of the process first.   Before you buy a keg, you should figure out where you will be storing those kegs to keep them cold and to serve your beer.

Mike describes in the video the two main options for storing and serving your homebrew.  You can build a keezer like he did or fit a refrigerator with taps.

By thinking about this final set up, it will help you to buy some of the most critical pieces of the transition from bottling your homebrew to kegging it.

Watch this introduction video and come back for the other videos in the kegging homebrew series.

    That’s a really nice keezer that you have there. I really like the stainless drip trap and such. Is that something custom or something you found online?

  2. The drip tray I ordered online many years ago. I got it from MoreBeer in Ca. Glad you like the keezer. I wish I have mounted the faucets a little higher on the drip tray because I can’t quite get a pitcher under the faucet. Not a huge deal but I’d measure better next time. The distance I have it to now is perfect for just setting a pint glass underneath and letting it rip. Oh man it makes be thirsty!
