Aww she's so adorable! I hope to get me an adorable keg like that one day.
Well that's the simplest & most straight forward video on force carbing/kegging, thanks very much Gash :)
+Rob Dawson Cheers Rob! :)
love the kids involved mate , that's priceless
too cute, lol
I'm an all grain brewer and I just bought 2 kegs because I got sick of bottling, your video has helped me heaps, thanks
Glad i could help! Thanks for watching! Cheers mate!
I love this video. I still refer to it whenever I wanna quick carb a beer because I brew so infrequently I forget suggested times and pressures. And I always LOL at your little helper
Good stuff! Cheers mate!
You've got the cutest kid. She did a great job helping you. The future of homebrew right there!
hahaha Yeah I reckon she's pretty cute too! Cheers mate!
Jenna, "you need to wash ya beer!"
my first keg arrived today so your video was a real help,love your videos ,thanks for all the advice,cheers from South Australia
P S loved the music in the video who is it and top marks to your adorable assistant !
i'm force carbonating my beer for the first time tomorrow. Liked your video a lot . loved your daughter, i have a 7 year old girl that helps me with my home brews. cheers from Tijuana Mexico
+Jorge Luis Medina Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Awesome method to force carb a beer, will definitely use this method when I get my kegerator, and love the commentary from the little parrot in the room 😎🤘🏻
Wow. I've read many articles about this and even a couple other videos but you sure made it simple. Will be doing this in a week. Thanks for the short and sweet video!
+David Behr No worries! It can be tricky at first just trying to get your rocking the right speed but it isn't hard either! I usually go 3mins kept it shorter slightly on the video just incase people rock to vigorously! Better to be slightly under carbed than over carbed!
Cheers mate!
Cheers Gash and Jenna, definatealy an all-time classic video. Kids grow up fast, make the most of it! while they're cue!!!
Cheers Mark! :)
Thanks for the video Gash...just done the same thing. Have wife's family from the Philippines arriving in 2 hours 14 of them. The men will be happy now 👍👍🍺🍺
Matthew Leonard Good stuff mate. Cheers
We have been using the 3 days at 30 psi technique and seems to work petty well. Haven't tried to force carb yet, but maybe soon. Cheers to tips and daughters!
Thanks for watching Cheers!
Rock and Roll gets me fizzed too. Another awesome vid Gash. My kids love brewing with me too, they learn allot actually. Cheers
what you didnt see is my daughter come over and kick the keg, so I had to pick her up cause she was crying, put her down and kiss her feet lol You may of just caught the foot kiss hahaha thats why I put the music over it and zoomed into the keg in the video software :) Thanks mate Cheers!
Awesome, your assistant needs a raise! :-)
Hahaha yeah, thanks for watching!
cheers gash. the only time I did this I did it at 40 psi for 8 mins. no wonder I had problems. I might give it another go now. ya lil one is adorable mate. how she sprung from your loins is beyond me. 17.
hahaha Cheers mate!
Thanks Gash your mate just made my night . The few where like medieval Viking flat beers .
I have been force carbonating using your method. Works a treat everytime... Like you said it will improve after a cpl of days, but if you're thirsty and need a beer on the spot, it is perfect! Talkn of which about to keg tomorrow an APA coopers kit, that was steeped with carapil and hopped with galaxy...Living the dream boys!
+Chef Kinga Hope its good mate! Cheers!
Just poured my first ever pint in my own home thanks to your video. Cheers!!
Great to hear to mate! Thanks for watching and cheers!
Lol ..loving the secondary commentary too..
Perfect, I use this technique to carbonate my stout before connecting it to the 30/70 mix, with some great results.
Gday Gash, i watched your vid about a year ago when i was first trying to figure out kegging etc and it worked a treat. Im not too sure what brew it was but it was one of my first grainfather ones and after your advice with getting it all bubbly, i drank it anyway.
After a bit of time and loss of memory i had to refer to your vid to get the correct process worked out again and i must say, that it has just worked a treat once more on my recent All grain Belgian Strong brew.
I have seen the 30/30 rule since, ie 30 psi to 30 degs fahrenheit (or around 0 degs C or thereabouts) works the best when force carbing. Not sure on that one, im still learning myself.
Btw, Big W shoes arent too bad, but the Chinese ones from Rivers do pretty much the same job but a bit cheaper mate. Probably from the same factory anyway. :)
Either way, i hope you are still brewing the good stuff and dont buy it pre-made anymore.
All the best and of course cheers.
Brett
Great advice mate, like the echo effect in background 👍
Theres beer everywhere dad..... thats gold Gash
Morry NQ Hahaha yeah it cracked me up, cheers mate!
Mate, first time keging and this worked a treat!
Great to hear! Some people struggle with it, but a little practice and its just fine. Cheers!
Very helpful, thankyou. I like the single take style you've done
+Jered Masters Cheers Jered, it can take a little longer or a little shorter depending on the rolling, just go roll and splash enough that you hear the gas rushing in. Thanks for watching!
+Gash Slugg
Is it better to force carbonate when it's cold?
+Jered Masters yes it is, cold liquid absorbs co2 much easier
Thanks, explained clearly and it works a treat, thank's for all the great tip and tricks you share. cheers
Thanks for the video, looks great! and she's a doll!
:) Cheers mate!
Your daughter is adorable.
Great vid, thanks mate.
My first kegerator arrives next week so your vid is very helpful!!
Thanks for watching mate, it can be tricky at first, but as you can see it works! Most beers take about 3mins, but sometimes when you are done it doesn't quite seem carbed enough, you can either try an extra minute, or just leave it at serving pressure and it will come good in a day or two. If I'm not in such a rush I'll set the keg at 30psi and leave it hooked up for 24 hrs, no rocking, after that set to serving pressure, again it might not be fully carbed but will come good in a day or two. Its much better to start slightly under carbed and let it come good. If you over carb its a pain in the bum to get it back to normal. My serving pressure is 12psi, but this can be slightly different depending on your set up. Cheers!
Thanks Gash. I will give this a whirl today for international brew day. Cheers!
Cheers mate! Lots of contributing factors, get the beer nice and cold, rock constant but not too fast, just so you can just hear the gas going in and bubbling and keep an eye on the time. It can take some practice to get it right but its not rocket science. It's better to be a little under carbed at the start than over carbed. Lighter smaller beers carb faster, big beers take longer. Have great day mate!
Thanks Mate. Worked a treat. Was Cooper's Mexican Cerveza good old kit in kilo. Was a great Brewday brewed supercharger again. Cheers!
Great video tips. One day I'll get some kegs and this will be a useful video to come back to as a reference. Cheers!
Cheers mate!
Love your daughters commentary
She's just about to turn 10. Cheers!
beer and red haired babies nothing better great video GOD BLESS
+contreeman Thank you and cheers!
You're the man Gash! I'm taking the plunge to kegging in the next few days and will be giving this a go!
Cheers for the video's mate, you're a wealth of knowledge.
G'day! Another way i use is chill keg/beer and set at 30psi for about 24 hours, then purge excess and drop to 12psi usually ok immediately for a beer and if not it will be ready in a day or 2. Cheers mate
Nice one cheers mate. Just tried your rolling method and the beer was as flat as a tack! So I might leave it at 30 overnight in the fridge.
Something was wrong then, could you hear the CO2 going into the beer? and was your beer cold? I 'd wouldnt leave it at 30 psi for 24hrs because if you had the gas on it would be already partially carbed. Maybe 12hours but you need to be careful, you do not want to over carb it.
You could just try for another minute.
Might try it for another minute then. I could hear something.... not sure what it was as it's my first attempt.
Cheers mate.
This video is best with your daughter involved. The little ones are such parrots!
Yeah, she's a funny one, thanks for watching mate, Cheers!
great helper you have there. it's got bubbles in there
+Shane Earehart haahaha yeah cheers mate!
Great video! I always have my 2 year old running chase while I am brewing, carbing...etc! thanks mate!
hahaha Thanks mate , Cheers!
I tried this the other night and it worked perfectly cheers 🍺
Thats awesome, cheers mate!
I am gonna give that a go. I don't mind my current 16psi for one week but sometimes I need to carb it quicker. Cheers
cheers mate! once you get the hang of it it's quite easy and good for those needy times lol
Great vid - brewing life as it really is... Kids, phones and Big W shoes haha!! 🍺👍
OZ OZ OZ...:-)! This video is really handy Gash. 1 question, have you tried to put some sugar into keg e.g. 90 grams or so? If yes how was the beer after aging time? Thanks for your tips and tricks great job mate, have a good1 and cheers to both of you there:-)!
Great video Mate.Very helpful for my purposes. If you ever make it to the States give me a ring. Dan
Thanks for watching, Cheers mate!
Love peat and repeat lol. Cheers gash
Cheers mate! lol
The beer's everywhere daddy ...classic mate.........................:)
Great job Gash. Love your help vids. Cheers!
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching
I think Jenna should do the commentary from now on.How carbed is the beer after doing that though? Seems like it could not be very carbed ?Cheers.
carbed enough to drink! has bubbles and head! of course gets better with a couple of days! You saw it in the vid! there was no cutting in that video! Cheers Greg
Gash this is an adorable and informative video... bless you😁👍🏻🍻☺️
Jenna turns 7 in a month :) My second child Holly hasn't featured in videos because she'd be trying to throw the keg across the room hahaha Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Thanks for the demo mate.
Ha hello Jenna!
Only do this if you must have the beer immediately, otherwise 24hrs at 30-35psi and then bleed off pressure and drop to 12psi, or your serving pressure. Strips less aroma from the beer. Cheers Nick!
Gash Slugg Brewing ah very good info. Cheers. I'm having trouble with naturally carbed kegs. They go flat after some time, as I also don't keep the gas turned on, only turn it on when serving
probably should leave the gas on, unless you have a leak somewhere.
@Jenna Ellicott hallo!
Hi I followed your method but forgot to burp the oxygen out after filling the keg.
Do you think this will effect the beer?
Thanks
Great tip! Thanks for the video!!!
Good stuff as always! Cheers!
Thanks for watching , Cheers!
G'day Gash, no worries mate I don't know how this youtube/google+ work as well mate. Thanks for your reply. Well I am gonna try it with sugar 'coz this1 is a lager so it could get better tail, will let you know later on what will happen:-). Will start of 90 grams of sugar. And yeah I'm with you that the taste is heaps better when the keg is cooled down just after kegged. OK mate, thanks for your sharing, take care and cheers Petr!
Love the echo
She is 11 now! Cheers!
Excellent Video, a question after carbonatar, purges all the excess co2 of the keg ?, I have a jockey box system, 25 feet of line, but when I connect my keg, I use 5-10 psi of my co2 tank, a lot of foam comes out In the draft, what do you advise me? greetings and thanks.
G'day Gash, just a quick question's
1. did you fill and chill the beer in the keg first
2. how long is the beer line approx
Thanks Mate, great assistant btw :)
The beer was already chilled from being cold crashed at 2c, although you could add it to the keg and chill in the keg first. My lines are about 4m. I set my pressure at 12psi usually. Cheers!
Great video! I am kegging for the first time next week and this video is what made me pull the trigger and say goodbye to bottling. Question: at the end of the video you say that the beer was straight out of the fermenter. Was it cooled to the normal 35-38f or was it at fermentation temp? I've seen some videos where the usually recommend 1 min of agitation so I figured it was because the beer in the video was at fermentation temp not drinking temp. Cheers!
G'day, it was cooled to about 36f or 'cold crashed' for a couple of days prior to kegging. One minute isn't long enough usually. Cheers mate!
Daughter is very funny...Cheers for the vid
she is... lol Thanks mate!
lol and the damn phone rings too, or was that your timer for the foot work out?
everything happened that could of lol I had to zoom in on the footage so you didnt see me picking Jenna up when she was crying and then kissing her foot better , and covered her crying with the music lol... All I wanted was 5mins drama free lol
it was enviable from the point that you pressed the record button.
Got beer everywhere, daddy... ;)
Nothing unusual here hahaha :)
Nice to see your wee lassie keeping you right mate :) Good video and lovely wee gaffer you have mate :)
+Ian Steele Thanks for watching Ian, Cheers mate!
thx!
Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Someone stole the show, that was great
She just turned 9. Lol Cheers mate
So did you fill the keg with beer and then chill it before force carbonation ?
If I'm correct he would have cold crushed it in the fermenter first. then put it in the keg.
Hey Gash, should there be a strong gurgle in the keg the whole time or just a light hiss?
Optomod inbetween :) youll hear it bubbling and hissing and i do it for 3mins myself just went a bit light in the vid so over shakers didn't over carb.
Yeah I noticed the more vigorous you rock the more gurgling you get. I am still to hit the right carbonation first time, but thanks for heads up :)
It took me a few goes, but I do it just about every keg now no issues, if its a touch under I leave it and it'll be good in a day or two, if its way under then I might give it another 30sec to a minute, but that's rare, usually happens just like that vid. Cheers mate!
great advice, cheers Gash :)
Great video Gash, for a first time kegger would you suggest force carbing or normal carbing.
This is good when in a hurry, but it can take a few goes to get right, what I'd suggest for first timer, is either do the long wait at serving pressure for 1 week or 2, but that kind of sucks. The next best and easiest is to set at 30psi for about 24-30 hours, but the keg needs to be cold first, if you cold crash the fermenter thats straight away anyway. So set at 30psi, leave for a day, then let some pressure out of the keg and set to about 12psi some beers will be carbed right away, some will take a day or two to get right. Much better to start a little under carbed then over carbed, over carbed is a bitch! Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork thanks mate.
Hey gash another good video i purchased same kegerator as yours whats is the best temp in Celsius to use and how long to bring the keg to proper temp for carbonation? And what psi do you find best for serving pressure?And how long do you get out of your small co2 bottle? ALOT of questions for ya lol cheers Gash.
Gday mate, I have an older control panel in mine and I set it at -1c even though my beer really isn't that cold. Temperature is to personal preference but will slightly effect psi. I have my psi at around 12-14. Will take a week or two to carb at that psi, so most of the time I do the rolling keg thing at 30psi for 3mins.
Umm usually get maybe 8 kegs out of my small bottle.
Awesome keep up the great videos cheers.
great video!! Kid is too funny!!! Thanks!
Mark Lubeski Thanks for watching, Cheers mate!
Question for you man, plan on kegging some brew and using a picnic dispenser for a bbq, how long would beer stay carbed once detached from co2..
it'll stay carbed for ever if kept cold and beer isnt dispensed, but once you start pouring beer you'll start losing carbonation as the gas leaves the beer to fill the space in the keg. So if possible disconnect any kegs you have at home and take the gas with you, otherwise the beer will stop pouring after a few beers anyway. Cheers!
Did this & it worked a treat for my first 2 19l kegs. Thanks.
Anything I need to do different for 9.5l kegs?
Cheers, Matt.
Good to hear! I've never tried a 9.5L keg. I guess you'd do it for less time, then test and see how it's going, if not enough do it for a short time longer. Cheers mate!
Gash Slugg I'll do it for a minute or so & will let you know how it goes. Cheers.
Could you do this with just water to make sparkling water or soda?
Nicholas Nicholas yes you could, not sure of the pressure to use, i think carbonated water is considerably higher. Cheers!
Hey mate do you put the gas line on the in or out? I've read it works better going down the tub. I'm struggling to carbonate an amber ale. I've rocked the keg twice and its been under pressure for a few days and still barely any carbonation. I don't have any leaks either. Any help would be appreciated
I don't like putting the gas line onto the beer line, I'd need to change the quick disconnect on the gas bottle to a beer one for starters, and although I understand the idea people are saying I don't think it makes much difference at all, the gas just bubbles through up into the cavity anyway. Saying that when you roll the keg you can have the gas line closest to the floor and you have the gas going into the beer without having to mess around changing quick disconnects. If you amber ale has a lot of alcohol and a fairly thick body it may take longer. Temperature makes a huge difference too, the colder the better. I could give some other advice like turning the gas up for 24hrs but I wouldn't recommend doing that now because you have no idea exactly how much CO2 is already in there and its a very fine line between flat and over carbed. I'd make sure the beer is cold, disconnect the gas line, turn it up to 30psi, reconnect the gas line, lay down the keg and give it 30 secs to a minute of rocking, give it a bit so you can hear the gas rushing in as you're rolling. You really need to watch your times otherwise you'll over carb. Disconnect gas line again, let out excess gas, set it to 12psi (serving) and let it settle for 30min s if you can, and then try again. Cheers mate!
Thanks a lot mate I'll give it a go. It's under 5% but it is a thick ale, maybe I'm just being impatient.
Best thing in this vid??? JBUG!!!!!!
yeah she's ok :)
Cheers!
Cheers mate!
cheers
Cheers mate!
G'Day mate. How would you go carbonating at room temp? I use a temprite, so I don't need to chill my kegs. I have been gassing at 300 kpa for 20 hours but it doesn't always work perfectly.
G'day Kevin, I've never tried it with warm beer. I have no idea! If it was myself I'd probably natural carb them if I had the time and use the gas just to push them. Sorry mate, I'm not much help! Cheers!
Yes definitely
kiddy is soo cute
Have you ever forced carbonated a 2.5 gallon mini corny keg?
Not the roll method no, I've done one half keg and I set and forget it, but there's no reason why you cant. I'd shorten the time a bit though. Cheers!
at 6:25 how did you know it was at 9 PSI?
+Scott Davis Because I was resetting the regulator at the time :) these days I go to about 11 or 12. Cheers!
Great video, I've had an issue with removing out ball lock from keg, hard as a fucker to get off (it was on out valve where it should be) would some sort of lube help, like o ring lube?
Randy Currie food grade lube will do the trick
Nice Video, every time i do the same as you do my beer is so frothy ,the glass is just full of froth, what do you think the problem could be? my service pressure is about 9 or 10 psi, would appreciate some input please
It could be a few things. Do you purge the excess gas out before you turn the pressure down for pouring? It could be the length and diameter of your beer lines. My beer lines are 3/16 ID and about 12ft long. All these things make a difference to the actual pouring of the beer. You could also try a shorter time, or less vigorous rocking. Hopefully you can work it out, I do this nearly every keg.
thanks for the return message, yes i do purge before carbonation and my hose is the same diameter as yours plus my hose length is about 12 feet long ,and also another question please can i carbonate my beer using 50% co2 and 50% nitrogen, yes i will try the other couple of things you mention, thanks very much for you input
I meant do you purge out the 30psi after the rocking, unhook the gas, let out 90% of the pressure in the keg, turn the pressure down then rehook up the gas.. Nitrogen isnt very good for the initial carbonation, I havent tried 50/50 but it sounds pretty high for carbing, its great for serving though.
yes i let all the pressure out the i connect it and pressure it up to about 9-10 psi. im using some nitrogen with 50/50 mix just for pouring it works ok, but not sure about carbonating the beer haven't tried it yet, any way thanks for your help i will try to lower the pressure when force carbornating next time cheers Jean Claude
you need to clean your beer that's awesome
Thanks for watching, cheers mate!
Cheers, vid has helped! Cute daughter haha
great video.. what is the name of that song?
Adam Baird its an old song from one of my old bands. The song is called Amphibian. The band was Water. Cheers mate!
thank you for sharing this video, i did just what you did with my double ipa and it work great ! ps where can i find that song? cheers !
Unfortunately we never got to mix it properly or get it mastered! but here is a version czcams.com/video/F-zVfTujdu4/video.html
I liked this one too czcams.com/video/juH3DDAM1HI/video.html
I let mine sit for 24 hours and still not enough gas at 30psi
yep there are many different ways, but I like mine fast :) Cheers mate!
you don't realise this but you have just set the bench for all your daughter's future potential courtiers. If they can't carbonate a keg they aren't marriage material.
I'll be happy if he just brings me a six pack hahaha Cheers mate
That means I can keg my batch today and start drinking it tonight! How about conditioning, no need?
DeFinitive Not for regular ales. No need.
Good news, looks like I will be pouring tonight, thanks for the quick reply, cheers mate!
Some beers will improve over time and so will the carbonation, but when your in a hurry it's fine to do, I do it nearly every beer. It can take a few goes before you get it right everytime, but have a go mate. Cheers!
Better to under carb than to over carb, take it easy, you'll hear the gas going in. Not too fast not too slow lol
I still need to fill the keg and chill it so maybe tomorrow is a better target. Think I'll just do 2mins rocking it slowly as you did. How many kegs will the 2.6kg CO2 last for if force carbing each one and regular serving?
ABBA& BRATS,😘
Good VId Mate.
You could have at least Rolled in time with the music !
hahaha Cheers mate!
Thats a cutie pie of a daughter you have there ....
Byron Koeder Cheers mate , thanks for watching.
Thank you buddy im determined to try a way to carbonize my beer before I filter and bottle it . my problem is after carbonation running the pump to force it through a filter foams it up to much... Im thinking of taking CO2 and pressurize my carbonation tank to push it through the filter....
Byron Koeder Do you need to carbonate first? You could just fill a keg, use gas to push it through a filter into another keg and then carb it. But you've probably thought of that? Cheers mate!
Thank you buddy , yes after watching your video I got that idea . Thanks
Only snobs shop at Big W..ohh and wheres the OH&S , your wearing Snob shoes and poor daughter in bare feet no wonder she got hurt .. poor little thing..daddies a meanie..!
lol
😂😂😂😍
