Factors To Assist You To Be A Specialist In Bottling And Kegging

By Matthew Campbell


The only factor they you have to consider when bottling beer is if you will be able to keep the carbonation or not. Also, you might encounter other issues when you want to use the dispensing device to be used to fill the carbonated beverages. This issue will be as which fill up and leads to half-filled bottles and too much foam. The article sheds light on aspects that will help you in bottling and kegging.

The best alternative for beer and in fact, all carbonated drinks, is counter pressure bottle fillers. These work in such a manner that they first remove all the oxygen from the beer bottle, purge it with carbon dioxide and then push the liquid into the bottle using a system of levers and valves. The cost of these fillers is about $90 but can cost more depending on the brand and the efficiency of their operation.

Getting the counter pressure filler obviously depends on your bottling needs. For instance, when you are a home brewer who needs to bottle a few cans of beer every few days or so, it might not be sensible to look for expensive counter pressure filler. There are techniques you can use to bottle the liquids without losing the carbonation.

The first thing, there are two elements that you need to always keep in mind before you begin this process and these are pressure and temperature. When the liquid is warmer, the gas is easily expelled than when the liquid is chilled. This can easily be proven. A lot of foam comes out when you pour warm soda into a glass, and the contrary happens when you pour cold soda.

The trick that can assist you when bottling few containers of soda, therefore, lies in making sure that before you transfer the bottles, the temperature of that liquid is greatly reduced. If possible refrigerate the liquid to near freezing before you try to transfer the liquid from one container to another. The process is as simple as funneling the liquid from one container to the other.

To make this drink safe for consumption you should make sure that the bottle in which you are transferring the drink to is clean and sterilized. This should be done before adding anything to the bottle. Also after cleaning ensure that you cover the opening with an aluminum foil to prevent contamination.

To make the transfer process easy, you might want to use a long straight tube. All you need to do is transfer the cold liquid from the large container to the small sterilized bottles. It will be an easy process especially in cases where the liquid is at a very low temperature.

Still, in case you are not sure about the entire transfer process, and whether most of their carbonation was retained, you can have the drinks consumed within 24 hours of the transfer process. Note that the carbonation is sometimes part of that preservation process and when the gas fizzles out of the container, the shelf-life of the liquid becomes much shorter.
