How Do You Fill Your Kegs?

[SpillsMostOfIt]

I use a JG-JG joiner instead of the male-screw-to-JG fitting illustrated above.

The silicon hose seals nicely against it on one end, against the fermenter tap with a wing-screw hose clamp on the other and beer-line to whatever you want next. Depending on how I feel, it will be through a filter or not to the beer-out post of the keg. I detect keg-full with a gas-QD on the gas-out post, which gives me a fair bit of head-space in my keg, although not as much as Screwtop, etc would like.

I just use some tubing that I got from the big green shed, pushed over the fermenter nozzle and down into the keg bottom. Once full I'll connect to gas and pull the relief valve a few times to make sure that it's purged.

just open the tap over the keg and let it fall in. there's enough co2 in the beer to keep a blanket there.

:unsure:

:unsure: I'd hope thats via a length of tube to the bottom of the keg....

Yeah ey I dont even know why you bother with all these methods at all - just unscrew the lid and pour it in from the top of the fermenter.

wait.. what?

i like this method, although i use a tea strainer over the mouth of the keg to break up the trub and filter out hop debris! :icon_chickcheers:
