Rebuilding Kegs

Mini-kegs are an option for homebrewers looking to avoid bottling, but who don’t have the space for a full kegging system.

The main challenges of counter-pressure bottling are to retain the beer’s carbonation and minimize its exposure to oxygen during the transfer. When performed correctly, almost all of a beer’s carbonation is retained when it is counter-pressure bottled. Likewise, with a little practice, the beer can be transferred with minimal exposure to oxygen. Learn how with pointers found here.
