How long does a keg last once tapped without CO2?
Generally, you’ll have at least eight hours to finish the keg before the beer starts to taste stale. If you’re lucky, you may get a full day out of it before it goes completely stale. It all depends on the type of beer and how much oxygen was pumped into it.
Can you naturally carbonate beer in a keg?
Of course you can naturally carbonate in a keg by adding the correct amount of sugars and keeping it warm for about two weeks but most people prefer to ‘force’ the carbonation into the beer using a CO2 cylinder. Pressure and temperature are both related and determine the carbonation level of the beer.
What PSI should a keg be?
Most ales and lagers produced in the US should be dispensed at 10 – 12 PSI. Stout and other nitrogen-reliant keg beers are usually dispensed at 25 – 30 PSI. For the specific dispensing pressure for a particular keg, check with your local beer distributor.
How long should my keg lines be?
Typical kegerators with draft towers usually have about 1.5 feet distance from the top of the keg to the faucet tap, so with a flow rate of 10 seconds per pint using a 3/16″ inner diameter beer line you would need around 8 feet of beer line if you were dispensing a keg served with 10 PSI of pressure.
What PSI should I force carbonate beer?
To burst carbonate your homebrew, crank up your CO2 regulator to 30 psi for 24 hours. Then reduce down to normal serving pressure, which is around 12 psi to15 psi (depending on your beer line length and altitude). That should leave your beer 75% carbonated. It should take another 3 to 4 days to reach peak carbonation.
Why is my keg beer so foamy?
The most common causes are: Incorrect Temperature – If the beer is too warm or too cold, it will be more easily disturbed and pour as foam. Make sure the glass is near the bottom of the keg (but not touching it) since that is where the beer is coming from.
