keg king system

[tonnsy]

Hello all.i have got a keg king system and want to know how to consistently get clear perfectly bubbling beer. Got it once out of the 3 kegs I have done. Followed on line techniques but cant get it consistantly. I need some step by step advice from the moment it goes in the keg from the fermenter

It is a two tap kegerator fitting 3 kornie kegs. The techniques were on the keg king website which i was using technique b which is turn the gas on 40 then turn the keg upside down and lightly shake so the gas worked through the beer for a minute or so.

Problems with last 2. One just didnt have enough bubbles then i tend to shake it too much that its too foamy. 2nd one just seemed too clody. I didnt filter it as i was told that at the cold tempurature which mine is set at -1 that it clears the beer.

Thanks for you help guys i really appreciate it

Set and forget! Just connect the keg at serving pressure and leave for one to two weeks. Problem solved.

Agree. Just requires a little patience but I've found it works much better than any quick carbing method and the head is softer, and longer lasting (might be my imagination though). If I'm in a hurry I crank it up to about 30psi for a day or two then back down to serving pressure for a day before pouring.

Serving pressure is generally between 10 to 15psi. Like they say leave it hooked up for a week or so. It works well and gives it a chance to mature a bit longer.

Also have a search for cold conditioning. It will give you a bit of a guide for nice clear beer.

Any shaking around to carbonate is going to stir up any sediment in your keg and leave your beer cloudy until it clears.

Plus you can easily over carbonate if you are not careful. Over carbonating, as you have seen is indicated by a glass of froth and half an inch of flat beer at the bottom.

As mentioned, either set at serving pressure for a week or so, or chill the keg and then 30psi/200kpa for 48hrs then back to serving pressure.

Also, hopefully you have not chopped your beer lines too short.

You have all been brilliant. I will try this and get back to you.

Do a search for Gelatine as well, it works wonders if you want crystal clear beer. Also you might be losing some of the subtle flavours at -1, try bringing it up to 2 or 3.
