Nicely done CH, thanks for the shout out :)

This channel will literally save me hundreds of dollars per year.

I have pressure fermented 10 batches already at 30 psi at room temp with the All Rounder and LalBrew® Diamond Lager Yeast - Lallemand. The yeast is crazy. I go from 1.050 to 1.0004 in 4 days! I throw the Allrounder in the refrigerator and drink directly from it until it is gone. No playing with sugar, bottles or carbonating, just drinking! It tastes great all the way until I start sucking up the yeast. The problem is I have to go 1 week in between batches with no beer and this is no good. Now I bought three $40 used 5 gal corny kegs and floating dip tubes. My kettle only holds 10 gal, but I will mash and boil as much grain as I can to get 8.25 gals of wort. This will require adding boiling water at the end to get down to 1.050 and 8.25 gal in the kettle. Then I will split the 8 gal between 2 corny kegs, ferment and then refrigerate. When one keg is empty, I will make a new batch. That is why I bought 3 corny kegs. No more beerless days for me. The All Rounder is showing signs of wear and small hairline cracks. Also, I don't like playing with the lid, some leak problems or opening it for dry hopping. Conry kegs are easier and will last a lifetime. This got a little long, but maybe someone will find something useful. I enjoy your videos!

Not only is it cheaper but its also easier than using the more expensive stuff. Great video!

Pressure fermentation in corny kegs is what I started last year, never looking back. I make perfect NEIPAs now.

Great video, as always!! Can go one step further saving money on gas (assuming no one else has said already) Go gas Post to gas Post from fermenting keg to serving keg - also put the sounding valve on the serving keg instead! Then when it's done fermenting, go liquid post to liquid post from fermenting keg to serving keg, pull the prv on the serving keg and watch it all move!

Always a pleasure watching your videos. Cheers from Slovenia.

Nice video this is probably the best basic pressure fermentation video I’ve seen yet 🍻

Good video. I’ve been looking over options to pressure ferment/closed transfer for a while but they are expensive. This seams the most economical for me. I laugh every time I see your mandatory beer chug skit. Great stuff

Nicely done! Kegs work great as fermenters, cheers🍻

Thanx for this info Braj! Best homebrew channel out there!

Right on time yo! Am about to do this TODAY

Been thinking about fermenting in my keg just too green to pull the trigger but now I’m gonna have to try it… keep killing braj!

Like always, great content braj!

Great video CH! I love your podcast too! 🤘🍻

YES CH, glad you've done a video. I thought the worst had happened. Good show dudes.

You've been macgyver-ing it in your videos lately, good stuff!

Great video. Watched it 3 times. I have an All Rounder on order but they are out of stock, so I will use my corny kegs for my first attempt at pressurized ferm, as you describe, to get my Mexican Lager done by July 4th. I have a Czech Pilsner in my fermenting chamber eating up space and time (takes too long). Ales and IPAs seem so much easier and quicker but some of my friends don't appreciate them. Keezer will be full up and diverse if your Corny keg pressurized ferm works for me. Thanks for the info and entertaining videos.

Gonna have to look into one of these since I don't have temp control or a keezer. Watched this and a few other Kviek videos while I put my 1st beer starter together. Lutra into ~900ml of light pilsen DME @ 95°. Hopefully this round turns out better then my 1st attempt with Lutra (likely my fault). Stay safe overseas man. 🍻

I just Ruined 10 gallons of ale by Pressure Fermenting it . Works Great on Lagers !!!! Your Videos are FANTASTIC , BREW ON !!!!!!!!!!

Been waiting for somebody to post a video on how to pressure ferment in kegs!

Thank you kindly Braj Lord, my MySpace top 8 salute you. Be chill always 🍻

Those magnets I gotta do! Epic video

Awesome video guys, never thought about fermenting going in a keg wtf!!

Great video man!! Cheers! 🤟😎🍻

Awesome vid! Cheers!

Great video! Probably one of the more entertaining content creators out there. Altered Beast! Loved that game as a kid. Would like to pick ur brains as a fellow homebrewing content creator myself. Cheers

This was awesome AF!!!!!!! MBC!!!!!!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🍺🍺

Don't waste your time with 925. Any lager yeast will work fine. PRO TIP: when adjusting pressure of your spunding valve for the first time, check it for leaks with star san. Ask me why I know!! Lol cheers Braj! 👍🍻

Great Video Brajo! 🍻🍻 shout out received ! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Awesome 👌!

Damn you kept to your promise of an ASMR video haha! hissssssss.... Great tut man! And shout out to Trev!! 🇦🇺🍺

Nice video:) love it

Have you ever tried natural carbonization in a korny keg? The idea came to me earlier, 1 I have extra kegs, 2 my kegerator is taking too much time, and too much co2 to carbonate, and 3 Im limited on when I can brew since I have to keep beer in my fermenters until I can keg it and get it in the kegerator. Im thinking about making a simple syrup out of dme or lme instead of dextrose to put into the kegs just before the beer goes in, then let it sit a week or 2 before going to the kegerator.

PSA: always use a PRV as well. Default for corny kegs, but not in other vessels like sankey kegs. Also, floating dip tubes with pickup screens are a game changer for fermenting in kegs (corny and sankey)

If you came through with 10 dudes and no beer, this Braj could keep the party going all weekend with my current stock of alcohol

Just learned something, thanks good sir

Great Videos thank you! Greetings from Germany

MarioKart Sunday?

Stupid reckless question I know, but using a corny keg do I need a spunding valve? Or could I just use the pressure relief valve daily to not have it explode?

Best opener 😂

Brajlord! Been having trouble sealing main Corney o-ring on travel Torpedo keg. I pull from 5G keg to fill 1.5G Torpedo Corney (for easy transport and no bottling mess). Even with lube and new main seal, the main O-ring seals at higher pressures 25spi but won't maintain seal when i bleed it off to charge with C02 cartridges at low Pressure. Are you aware on any softer Corney Main O-rings that may be softer or provide an easier seal than the STD black ones???

The magnets thing is pretty clever

Only 5 gallons of beer a day. Those are rookie numbers.

Today I'm gong to piss myself while laughing at the Brajtasctic today's!

Hope that you get back to making brew videos.

you just confused the F#&$#&* out of me at the end Braj!

CH, I have some corner kegs and a spending valve but don't quite have the full c02 keg setup. After pressure fermenting, can I bottle?

Hey CH! Love your channel man and with your help (and not giving up after many failed batches) I made my first Great Hazy IPA! Thank you for caring so much for the home brewing community and keeping home brewing fun! I do have a question for you. After you finish transferring all your beer to the serving how do you disconnect that "jumper cable" without getting beer everywhere? I unplugged the gas from the fermenting keg, tried taking off the jumper cable and beer sprayed everywhere. Oxygen free? Yup. Mess free? Nope lol. How do you disconnect the jumper cable without creating a giant mess?

When I was just thinking about doing a pressure fermented lager and the Braj-god has spoken.

Could you use the pressure relief valve the off roaders use to release the air in their tyres, they set at a certain pressure??

Can you expand more on temperature ranges for fermenting lagers under pressure? I have been making plans to make my first lager and was planning on fermenting cold, but you mentioned we could ferment a lager at room temperature. I use a chest freezer as a fermentation chamber and it is almost always full of something and set around 65F. Could I throw a lager in there if I ferment under pressure?

Great vid! You inspired me to get my own corny kegs for pressure fermenting and kegging. Do you know if it’s possible to hook up your draft line to your corny keg to get rid of the trub rather than having to deal with transferring to a secondary? I wasn’t sure if it would be able to pour.

I realized that if I am force carbing at like 30 psi, when I turn the regulator down the exxcess pressure comes out of the hole in the regulator.... which got me thinking... since my co2 tank is external from my fridge and it already has an extra gas connect on the outside I use for various reasons. if I have a beer fermenting in a keg I can hook it up to my fridge co2 regulator and the fermentation ressure will remain at 10-11 PSI. basically using my co2 regulator for 2 purposes. keeping my beer carbed and under serving pressure and keeping my keg that is fermenting carbed and under pressure???

Nice vid! Are you saying to put the dry hops in a hop bag held by magnets in the top of the keg before you seal. Then drop when ready? How about gelatine? If you want to keep it sealed - maybe mix it up in a bottle and use my keg land pet bottle cap system to push via co2 into the keg?

Assuming a 5 gallon corny keg, any volume adjustments needed in order to leave enough headspace for krausen?

Great video!! Novice question. When transferring from fermenter keg to serving keg, does the psi from serving keg need to be lower? For example, Fermentation keg is 10psi, serving keg is 5 psi. I connect CO2 to fermentation keg and push beer out at 10psi. Does that make sense ?

Great Job! Working on setting up a spare keg to try this out for myself. I want to try aging a stout in a keg as well. Any experience with this?

So you can do this for pretty much any Ale and Lager right? Was going to do a Hefe and learned that's a nono but if you're not doing a double/triple, you should be good right?

H4L rocks 💪💪💪

That super off-road doh

so any point to buy a separate stainless fermenter when this method exists? Thanks for the info. Looks like a floating dip tube might be an extra mod to add to this for beers with lots of hops.

To anyone who is a little smarter than me (because you came to read the comments and didn't just watch this video on 1.5x speed, get the gist then send it) THE SPUNDING VALVE GOES ON THE IN POST. aka the GAS post. If you put it on the out post like I did, that's a great way to spout a few gallons of fermenting wort out of your corny keg to get sopped up by your carpet.

commenting before @lex Steel !! hahaha

How much you can safely ferment in Corny - not under pressure? I mean 5 Gal one ~4 gallons is ok? Some headroom is for sure required so what's safe?

Excellent video...thanks....Cant find that BEER NUT FEMALE x 1/4" NPT MALE ADAPTER . 6:30 minutes into the video. Did not see it listed in the parts listings. Any assistance appreciated

Got any videos on cold crashing in a corny key with a spunding valve on it

5 gallons of beer everyday.... those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up.

With this process, why would I mess with bucket fermenters ever again? I'm just past my first anniversary of brewing beer, but I have collected a few extra corny kegs, this seems to be far easier than messing with buckets that wear out. And how much head space? 5 gallon corny keg can hold 4.5 gallons for pressure fermenting?

I know it's a little bit of an older video, but if I wanted to brew a beer that doesn't do well with fermenting under pressure, would I be able to set the spunding valve to like 3-5 psi and not have an issue?

The link for the flair 1/4” to 1/4” npt isn’t working, anything I can use in its place?

Quick question, when you set the regulator to 10 PSI, do you have to manually release the pressure once it gets over that, or does it release automatically? Btw, I got the same spunding valve as you on Amazon. Thanks braj!

First of all, let me say that I enjoy your videos because they are not only informative, but they are also wildly entertaining. Now for the dumb question…how do I graduate from buying recipe kits (like craft-a-brew or Brewers Best) to buying my own stuff (hopefully cheaper)? Do I just do a bunch of reading and experiment? And where do I get the stuff…do most brew supply stores have what I need? So far I’ve made several 1-5 gallon batches from kits and all have turned out pretty well. I have a couple of corny kegs and I’ve done both gravity and pressure fermentations. Looking to learn more and branch out, but where do I start?

I should sell spunding valves, they are $15 Aus from kegland, like $10 us

I recognize that capcom Megaman X music anywhere! oh... great vid too!

Is krausen coming up through the spunding valve a concern?

Get the blowtie on AliExpress, as cheap as chips, about 22 USD delivered to Europe, just takes about 4 weeks

Timmy put the ball down, get back inside where it’s safe

Wait, is the brew carbonated by the time it hits the serving keg? Asking for an alcoholic friend.

why not use a floating dip tube as to not modify anything about the keg.

10:08 Could you not just serve out of your fermenting keg if you used a floating dip tube?

I’m famous!

I wish I could call you & pick your brain

When are you going to talk about brewing? Goodbye.
