Bought 8 11 ltr and 2 18 ltr corny kegs last year and finally got the appropriate equipment needed to start doing closed transfers. It's a marked improvement over the plastic barrels I've used since 1984. In fact I think I'll make the transition to an all stainless steel setup over the next 12 months. Cleaning for one is a cinche and a greater feeling of safety compared to the plastic gear of the past. I'm only ever going to take the cornies up to 30psi which as You know is only 1/4 of their maximum pressure. The one handled 11 ltr cornies are great and are just the right size for lugging around from place to place. I'm looking forward to being able to rack beer twice or even three times in order to get a crystal clear pint. I've rarely used finings other than Irish Moss preferring to rely on gravity to do it's thing. Being a Brit I'm used to real ale and it's higher serving temp so don't suffer from hazes too much. I do however want to do some more lagering as the Zwiets Tatra recipe from Dave Line's book was very nice. If I can recreate that withouth the need for Golden Syrup then I'll be a happy Man. |
