The hobby of homebrewing beer

Buying Corny Kegs for Homebrew

Staying true to his plans, John has purchased his first keg to get started with kegging his homebrew.

We shot a short video this week and we discuss the next steps in this process.

John plans to squeeze his initial keg setup into his current beer fridge. In future videos, we’ll cover all the little things that go into putting his system together, like connectors, tubing and a regulator.

We will explain all the steps very simply.  John is a very simple person.  He needs things to be explained to him like he is 5 years old. Believe me, if we go slow and detail all the information – even he will get it.

Getting started in kegging your homebrewed beer is pretty easy. Our plan is to follow along each step of John’s journey into kegging and hopefully you will follow along and learn more about how to do it yourself.

If you are curious about the process, which parts to get, and how to get that first batch of beer flowing on draft this and the next several keg videos we do will be just what you need to get started.

Are you a kegger? Are you interested in getting started? Let us know in the comment section.
BREW ON!

Can’t wait – we have done an introduction to kegging in the past.  Check it out.

    Hey guys!
    John,
    Glad to see you’re moving along with the plan to get into kegging. Thanks for the shoutout and I’m happy to hear that I talked you off the ledge so to say on getting a new fridge.
    Mike,
    How long have you been kegging and what’s your biggest pros and cons about it?
    Looking forward to following you guys through the process of getting all set up as I just finished getting into kegging last summer.
    Brew On!

  2. Thanks Damien – we will be covering all the steps over the next few weeks and months.

    Hey Guys,
    If you are using the fridge you have for kegging, do you also use it for fermentation? Or can this be done?
    Thanks

  4. Yep – that’s what we’re planning to do. For two weeks at a time, the beer will be at 50 degrees F but that actually works for English ales!
