I just got a kegging system and want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I fermented the batch, secondary fermented it for a total of about two weeks. Next step is to keg it, put co2 to it and drink it correct?

I am not a brewer, but my daughter's boyfriend is and I'm looking for a good Christmas gift for him.
From the Q&A I assume the Pig can replace a keg or bottling, for up to 2.25 gallons. Does it remain as fresh in the pig as in bottles or kegs? Can the pig go in the refrigerator (or should it)? Does it change the quality of the beer, or the shelf life, to store it in the pig after brewing?
Sorry . . .

I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

I have been looking for a small keg or keg type system to take to my local micro brewery so I can bring home the beer...I loved to brew myself, but with my current job I dont have the time...the "pig" looks like it would be ideal for this task...just wondering if it would be a good system to use in order to have the brewery fill and then I can drink from it for a week or two...how long will . . .

Id like to put the beer into a keg instead of bottles, but was wondering if i could do this WITHOUT force carbonating with a CO2 tank. Can the beer naturally carbonate in the keg?
what would i have to add for this, more yeast or sugar?
Would this effect the "shelf life" of the keg?
thanks for the help! AWESOME WEBSITE!!!

Can the (pig) be used to carbonate my beer with CO2? Can I even use it to carbonate my beer with sugar or is it just for serving.

I stopped brewing years ago because bottling was such a hassle. I am thinking of starting again and it looks to me like the party pig could be a good replacement for bottles. I have 2 questions:
1) How much priming sugar do you use per pig? I seem to remember it was like ½ a teaspoon per 12oz bottle so do you just multiply that by the number of oz in 2 ½ gallons?
2) How long can you drink . . .

I want to use my party pig for my mead. I do not want it carbonated though. Do I still need a pressure pouch?

Will a cornelius keg fit into any half height refrigerator? Or better yet, if I were looking for a new refrigerator but didn't want to buy a full size or a expensive kegerator, what are my options?

I am thinking about purchasing a party pig. As most beer recipes produce 5 gallons, and a party pig hold 2.25 gallons, do people 1/2 their recipes, fill two pigs, or put half into a pig and bottle half?
I do partials (and never did a full mash). I was thinking of just doing the grain aspect of my partial recipes.

Q#1: What "activation pump" are you referring to in your description of the party pig. Is it possible to use a standard pump (shrader/presta) or is there more involved?
Q#2: I assume you use a priming sugar when preparing a party pig for storage/dispensing.
Thank you kindly,

I live in Scotland and cannot find a national retailer for the Party Pig. Could you quote me for shipping or tell me where in the UK I can get one?

I just bought the St. Peter's Pilsner kit and I'm planning to use a keg system to carbonate the beer. Should I prime before kegging to help conditioning or not?

What is the best method to fill bottles from a keg system? How do you reduce the foam and ensure that the beer does not go flat??

I LOVE reading all the questions and answers! Now I have one. I am going to be purchasing a kegging system as a gift. Here is what I know I want (I think): I want to have a keg inside of a converted fridge (don't have the fridge yet) and need to know what I would need to set this up, from the keg (corney?) to the fitted tap out the door... and what size of fridge do you recommend? Or if it is . . .

On your keg systems, are the kegs reconditoned? Have all the o-rings been replaced or do I have to do that. I like your site. You are the only one I have seen that has the multiple systems for sale.
A friend of mine has been kegging for a few yrs now. He has a double regulater on his so he can run different pressures on the tanks. Is this necessary? I have been bar tending for many yrs and have . . .

How are your double keg systems setup? I didnt see a picture of it on your site, and didnt see any details just the price changed. Could you please send some more info on this?

I own a standard 15.5 CO2 keg system and would like to use the CO2 tank and regulator with a cornelius tank. Would my the hoses be consistent with the fittings on cornelius keg with Quick Disconnect fittings?

How do you make a brew in a canister? have you got a step to step instruction manual. Iam talking about the homebrew keg refridgerator. i have only brewed with the kits where you bottle it.

I have a kegerator that has a CO2 tank to carbonate the beer. I plan to use 5 gallon soda kegs for the final fermetation and serving of the beer. Do I need to add the sugar at the end, or will the CO2 carbonate the beer for me?

Hi. I want to start kegging my beer, but I dont have any refrigerator to convert, whats your recommendation, to get a regular refrigerator or to get a kegerator that is ready for kegs? are there any kegerators out there that you would recommend?
thanks

I keg my beer in corny kegs. Is a Party Pig a good way to transport some of my kegged beer? If so, do I need to worry about some sort of counterpressure while filling?
3/18/2004
--
I was wanting to know if you could give me any advice on choosing between a ball lock and a pin lock keg. I have read that on ball lock kegs it is easey to mix up the gas and beer fittings and that they can be easily put on the wrong side and that you may never get them back off. Is this true or are they marked somehow. Also if I decide to go with a pin lock 5 gallon keg do you ocasionaly carry . . .

hi! just wondering if alcohol production, conditioning, or fullness of a beer would suffer as a result of kegging opposed to bottling. Just want to brew each beer to full potential!! THANX

Once a Corny keg is carbonated can it be taken off and stored without being conected to the CO2? Is there a time limit, is temp a factor?

I am interested in getting the the complete Draft Kegging System for my husband's birthday. However, we do not need the keg but I would like to get whatever else necessary to complete the "Kegerator" setup he has been wanting. What do I need?
2/15/2004
--
Once the kegs are filled, do they need to be kept cold? If not, what is the "shelf life" of a keg of beer if kept at room temperature?
Can room temp. beer be run thru a copper coil bathed in ice, in a cooler for example, to make a portable system that does not require you to keep multiple kegs cold?

I'm brewing my first batch of homebrew and have the Shamrock Stout in my primary fermentor. I have a keg fridge with a CO2 bottle that I'm going to use instead of bottles. Do I need to prime at all for carbonation, and if not will it affect the taste of the beer?
1/24/2004
--
I am thinking about starting to homebrew. I have a kegerator that will fit two cornelius kegs. I am wanting to get a kit, and then keg the beer instead of bottling. Is there a kit specifically for this? as I would not require any bottling equipment?
1/21/2004
--
Why don't any of the kegs have inflatable bladders? This seems like it to be preferable to forced carbonation. Is this the principal behind the party pig. If so, how long does the bladder last?
1/21/2004
--
I think naturally carbonated beer tastes better than CO2 added to beer, maybe it is in my head - but it seems to be smoother.
It any event what would be the downside to using the keg as a large fermentation bottle to self carbonate.
Along the same line of thought, what is the possibility of this turning into a beer bomb if the you miscalculate and have too much fermentable matter in the beer? . . .

What is the shipping cost for kegs to zip 68883?

How often do you have to replace the O-Ring Set on a Cornelius Keg? Is it after each use or do you get several batches out of them?

What is a "Cornelius keg"? Does it have a ball tap like I am used to, and will fit my present system? Does it have an opening for internal cleaning and how big. I realize that these questions are basic, so thank you for your patience.

I have a 4 keg system that I purchased from you. (System works great! thank you) How do you plumb the counter pressure bottle filler into that system and what additional fittings, tubing or equipment is needed? Also is it possible to retro-fit to fill bottles other than 12 oz type ie wide mouth growlers, could the upper stopper be removed and replaced with a large one?
11/16/2003
--
Right now I bottle my beer after primary then seconday fermantation. I understand with a keg I do not have to add bottling sugar to carbonate but in some of the other responses you say that kegs can be carbonated overnight. My question is what about the clearing that takes place in the bottles? When does this happen when you keg? If the sediment forms at the bottem wouldn't a carbontating stone disturb . . .

Is the pig glass or plastic? How much space would it take up in my refrigerator? What are the dimensions?
10/1/2003
--
Do you need just one CO2 tank and one regulater for multiple kegs? How does that work? If you order the "triple" complete draft kegging system are all the necessary parts included to carbonate the 3 kegs at the same time?
9/24/2003
--
Does the party pig come with everything needed to fill and tap the keg? And how long will a beer stay good good in it?
8/23/2003
--
Does the kegging system come with everything you need to start up or is additional equipment required? IE gas in fittings, extra tubing etc.

I have a keggerator that takes the 15.5 gal sanke style kegs. I am interested in retrofitting for using the cornelius kegs since a friend introduced me to beermaking. What will I need to do this. The keggerator has a single tap tower on top, and I have the CO2 tank and regulator already. Also some tips on using the corney kegs would be helpful. Use primer or not? Any info will be appreciated...

Do you have to carbonate your beer (with sugar)before you keg it or can I just add my beer and this stone to my keg and it's done?
