Once in the swing you will find a keg gets empty, you fill that one.. I have 5 beers on tap. When a brew is nearing ready to keg I play "kill the keg". Choose a keg and kill it. Heaps of fun and doesn't end well. Ever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 On 1/5/2021 at 7:33 PM, jamiek86 said: I suppose it would depend on how long done it on 40psi before turned back say if was for 12 or 14 hours compared to 24. Assuming less time then turning back without burping it all wouldn't have soaked in anyway. If was already fully carbed when turning back would be the problem. Why I have you here SOS if carbing 2 kegs at once do I need to add a bit more pressure or it sorts itself out if going through regulator into double manifold? Hey mate sorry for the late reply, you probably have it sorted by now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I actually have a dual stage regulator so have one 4 tap manifold for serving, and a 2 tap manifold for gassing kegs at high pressure I normally go 40PSI for 20hrs if fast carbing, then let rest for a few hrs, drop pressure and put on serving pressure then into it. ‘Works perfect for me in the keezer. I did have my keezer on 3 degrees, but had one keg at the back slightly freeze up, so have changed it to 4 degrees now, all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weighing is a bit too fiddly @Graubart. Got a handy-dandy spreadsheet. With a nice chart Care factor drops off after about six beers though, so the kegs still often run out early. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty funny Hairy as I was wondering whether this would be a business possibility haha and of course someone is already doing it!?! I have been known to utilise the - pick up keg and see how light it is - methodology - and it seems to work pretty well too Edited January 10, 2021 by Graubart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leave the keg on the scales. Or is the weight too light to register as the keg nears empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 For those that want it, here is a blank copy of my keg monitoring chart. Put your brew name in the cell with "Keg 1", etc. Put your starting volume of that keg in the "Starting" row As you consume your beer, put the ml's of your glass and the date as shown in the sample under "Keg 1" The ml's you enter will reduce the "Dropping" row by the amount consumed and the "Consumed" column will increase. The date does nothing, other than for you to reflect the next day on how hard you hit it. If you have more kegs and would like me to make you a spready with more columns, just let me know.
