HOW TO FORCE CARBONATE HOMEBREW BEER (Corny Keg) 

Awesome! Thank you!

Thx for the kind words, cheers Matt!

And I hope to get down to some of your breweries down in SD area. Those spots look amazing. Maybe the next time Miramar does their air show I can head down for the night. Hopefully sooner than later.

Glad to help Joe!

cheeres Nikita!

Awesome, thank you!

That's solid feedback! Cheers Mike!

Glad I could help! Glad I might that guy at the bar too!

Thanks! You too! See you tomorrow braj!

Thank you very much!

When you use your stone do you have to charge the head space with co also?

Good choice!

Thank you very much! Glad to hear, cheers!

See you tomorrow night braj!

you're the OG braj tom! I hope all is going good with the wedding and stuff braj see you manana

You paved the way braj! I hope life is treating you well DH!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Thanks CJ. Yes all is great, super busy days and nights just how I love it 🍺🍺🍺

Congrats GK!

Thx for the support, cheers Pesto!

You've been a braj since day 1 Tom!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Once a Braj, always a braj! see you tomorrow...

Welcome aboard!

Much appreciated!

You got it!

Wow, thanks!

looking good in that shirt braj!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Thanks man don't make me blush, the Dad bod life is real and I need to hit the gym again soon

For that to happen the pressure in the tank would need to exceed the incoming pressure, so my guess is that by shaking up the keg, it increased the pressure in the tank beyond 30 psi.

Cheers to the next 200!

Cheers Nate!

Right on Wyatt, cheers!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE cheers!

Naw

No i just keep it on the main lid, i'm not worried about anything as long as the co2 tank doesn't exceed 10psi, cheers!

Cheers MM!

I'd keep it on the whole time. But yeah i gotta pick some more up now lol. Cheers Beast!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I wonder if it would work if you were to connect silicone hose and carb stone directly to the gas tube. . .?

@@Unsub-Me-Now you just DIY'd the DIY with this one! Inception style thinking braj. Good stuff

Let's beer up Greg!

Thx for the love! Go for it if you can fit your hand in there (and securing a hose clamp!)

if you cold crash completely i have done this just fine. if not, youll blast sediment back into solution.

I don't

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE no disrespect meant here, just asking for clarification. You said I don’t, I don’t what? I don’t leave it on or I don’t change it out? Thanks

Great to hear!

Just noticed your post. My beer is in glass carboy in basement. not cold yet. Any idea as to how to proceed. Should I transfer to corny keg, cool it and then force carb it ? Thank you!

@@josephcajzer9598 yeah just proceed with your normal process but if you have that lid with aeration stone then replace your default corny lid with this one and hook the CO2 to that connector where the tub and aeration stone are connected to and let it sit for a few hours then you'll be drinking in no time

@@ldt_ thank you, unfortunately my beer is not cold going into corny keg. Thoughts suggestions? Thanks

@@josephcajzer9598 you can still use this lid as a normal lid, warm or cold

Thx for the support, cheers Boo!

Cheers KD!

I'm fully carbed in about 6 hours

That's a great idea! Cheers!

noticed your post, was your beer cold when you forced carb it ? My beer is in glass carboy in basement and wondering best way to proceed? Thank you

Do you charge the head space with co also when you use the stone

@@josephcajzer9598 yep

Way to get it done Braj!

Cheers for the recent love Capt!

Thx and Cheers RM!

See you tomorrow night braj!

Correct

sure, but i don't

Cheers from San Diego! (tbh there's tons of ways to carbonate your beers)

Yeah i've kept mine at 10psi all week and it's been pouring beautifully!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE So just realized that beer has to be cold for force carb to work. My beer ( pale ale ) is in glass carboy, basement temp. should i transfer it to corny keg and pressurize it normally and let it get cold in kegerator over night and then force carb it with the dip tube that i ordered after watching your video ?? Thank you !!!

no that's cool. Brewers add stuff like that too their kegs all the time, cheers!

Thx KG, cheers!

keep it in Nuno, cheers!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE sorry CH, still in doubt - carb stone stays in beer, but connected to the CO2 tank? Or does the CO2 then get connected to the regular gas post, whilst keeping the carb stone inside the keg (but unconnected)?

Let's get you on the hoppy hour braj!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Love to! Just need some notice so I can take the day after off work... Cheers!

Cheers!

Yes we do

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Cool! I'm thinking about just buying the stone and tube and convert my 2 kegs that way.

Ur call

it helps speed up carbing to have slightly positive pressure on headpsace, like 12-15 psi . This helps keep co2 from escaping into headspace, especially when you first add pressure. another trick with these stones is to ramp up co2 over time, add 2 psi and wait 15min, then another 2psi and wait 15min and so on. that should be carbonated within an hour and half or so, good if you are home and have the time to make the adjustments. Kinda becomes similar timeline to the shake @ 30psi method but with the ability to truly set the intended Vol. of CO2.

run hot water thru it, cheers!

If you can fit your hand in there and tighten it!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE no I mean are you hooking up two gas lines to the keg or just the new one on the lid

Yes!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Awesome! Excited to try it out! Thanks Braj!

you absolutely could but it's gonna be tough to get on their and tighten unless you have tiny hands lol

Nope! I've been drinking it all week at 10psi

that works if you can fit your hands in there and then screw a hose clamp on

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE sick, thanks braj!

wait what?

I'd scrap it. You get take the lid off and let it warm up but then your completely jeopardizing the whole batch

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE 😂 Show also the scraped once. More content from H4L is always positive( makes my day with the positive vibes). Keep up the good work!

Thx for kind words, cheers Jan!

you can if you can get your hand in there with a flathead or drill but my hands are too big lol

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE gotcha i didn't even think about the pressure blowing the hose off without a clamp

I wouldn't to avoid oxygen. I'd just buy another one (or however many for how many beers you have on)

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE so you leave the line with the air stone on it in the beer until you kick the keg?

I swap mine out after carbing, I just blast co2 in before removing the lid,no issues.

Much love my dude 🍻

See you at 400!

Sorry to hear that. cheers Darren!

Thx for the love HT!

200 MBC's haha. Cheers Noel!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE your all- grain vid was the first video I ever watched when I started brewing in Aug 2020. I’m 35 batches in, and 💯% a fan of you, Brian at Short Circuited, and David Heath especially - great community and all y’inz Braj’s are super entertaining and inspiring, thanks! 🍻

let's get you on tomorrow braj!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Unfortunately I can’t, fall ball has started and I’m coaching on both the kids teams

"none coming out?" i'm lost

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE so no gas firing out of any of the other holes?

@@sendoprey no. that would be a leak

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE ok great, thanks for clarifying!

Waste all my money!must have 600 $ Canadian bones!so far?

Well sort of figured something out!,i had pin locks went to Amazon tried to order ball lock connectors for corny kegs!,it turns out there is ,two different types!and I without the knowledge of a tap and die worker wouldn’t think I would have to 18 many threads per inch on a 9/32 head!so I ordered the incorrect one,all correct but no were did it say corny keg,so I’m finding loss of co2, in the gas side!so hoping my beer will last a week in kegerator with out co2 to make it fresh and not stale!.well it’s gone of have to,I came this far!double ended staff I will succeed!how ever , to the DIY self person,Ild rather buy as one complete unit! Like kegerator,kegs, all proper posts,no surprises!unlike me myself and I order,try,reorder!more expense!shrimping ain’t easy!!lol

Miss you braj! I hope life is treating you good down under!

if your hand can fit in there and secure it then go for it!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Im 6'2 235 lbs Steel Worker if my hand can do it ,EVERYONE CAN . Congrats on 200th !

Nice! not too many homebrewers use nitro

easy fix... boil them with hot water

yes and yes!

I had an old vhs Captain Power tape as a kid where you play along and it seemed like you were shooting stuff on the TV. Loved that as a kid! Cheers 🍻
