I feel like you are the David Attenborough in brewery land. Love your channel 👏🏻

I am really appreciating these informative and well presented info extravaganzas..!

Great to see more videos about equipment options and reviews. would also like if you tied in how YOU use them with your grainfather to get some tips and tricks

Good information David. I personally use cornys which fulfills my requirements and sometimes a few brown glass beer bottles to take up surplus amounts of beer after filling the cornys.

[robveck]

Excellent coverage of the options. Thanks

I pissed myself when I saw "the law" ...

[alanman]

Very useful video and amusing also, very good!

[b.e.d.brewing]

Very nice :-). If the beer is always under your control then the color of the bottle won’t matter - none of us are going to allow our beer to sit out in the sun.

Now I understand why you home brew. Beer in Norway is so expensive!!!

Excellent video. Is there a downside to using low profile 9 inch x 22 inch versus the regular 8.5 x 25 ball lock Corny Kegs?

Hi. Great video. Just wondering, can you keg in a corny without using a fridge? I want a cleaner option than bottling. Currently getting too frequent infections in bottles because of their shape and the difficulty in cleaning them. I also do not want to run another fridge. I was thinking of filling some bottles for chilling prior to drinking. Thanks!

Hello David, great video thank you. I would like to start kegging, would you recommend buying reconditioned or new kegs? A bit worried the reconditioned ones may be a bit ropey?

[MattiKettu]

Heya, question about logistics. How would you go about say brewing a 20L batch of beer, but your just have a 3-4L uKeg? Would you suggest getting enough bottles to bottle up the leftover beer, or keep it somewhere without the carboration liquid and siphon off the yeast. Also what's the time limit on this option?
Looking to get into beer brewing, and don't mind spending a bit on a grainfather, but the fermentation & beer storage options is where I'm pretty much at a loss.
Great videos though!

[samuelsmith]

Super informative! Just to be clear 99% of wives have already accounted for the 50% LAW. You do the math ...

[egumit]

Do you have the ikegger? I am contemplating buying 4/5 L but was worried about your comment regarding pressure on only 2 bars.

[johngalling]

In the UK the King Keg and other plastic barrels are used extensively, and with the S30 valve make a relatively cheap option for adding gas. Thanks once again for a very clear and concise video.

I always enjoy your videos and would like to thank you for improving my brewing knowledge and techniques.
We need to keep a lid on the " Law of home brewing " to avoid blowing our cover. I had a twinge of guilt when you mentioned it. However, it soon passed when I thought of the quality beer that my Grainfather produces.
David, where can I get the " Just Married " graphic that I saw on your Honey Beer video. I would like to use it on my honey beer bottles as it appeals to my sense of humour.

Law of home brew equipment - love it!
As for the cost of kegging, it may be expensive upfront but long-term it is cheaper both vessels and cleaners.

B for beverage if you use it for anything other than beer 😀

You forgot the 6th o-ring in the pressure release release on the corny.

Awesome video, thank you for making them

With regards to @10:10 the secretary of my rifle club told his wife that if he was to die and she was to sell all his rifles, sell them for twice the price I told you I paid for them.

Another pro for kegs, is making your own CO2 by fermenting sugar in them. No need for expensive high pressure bottles, regulators etc.
I do, 2kg of cheap sugar in approximately 15L of warm water(40C), add approx 20g cheap bakers yeast, connect the CO2 production keg, via gas lines, to another 9L keg, full of water, with the dispense tap open. The gas pressure build up in the fermentation keg pushes water out of the 9L keg once it is empty the fermentation keg has been purged of most O2 and is ready for use. In my setup 70psi is often achieved, more than enough for carbonation. Also you can distill the by product, which gets to between 5 and 10 % abv.
