Kegging
Filling the Keg
Ferment Your beer in the normal way. Once fermentation is complete it is time to clean and sterilize the keg.
There are a number of cleaners/sanitizers you can use for your keg, including So2, Morgans' Sanitize or PSR. These cleaners are used in the same way as you would sterilize you bottles.
The Transferring of beer to the keg is as simple as racking directly into the keg via a piece of clear tubing, cut to length so tha tit reaches from the tap of the fermenter to the bottom of the keg.
You will notice that there is a tube in the keg that is running from the top of the keg to the centre of the bottom. This is called the Dip Tube: this is how the beer is drawn from the keg. There is also another tube thet is shorter in lenght. This is the Co2 inlet to allow for the Co2 to be injected into the beer. Your keg should be filled to approximately 12-25mm (1/2 to 1 inch) from the bottom of this tube.
When the keg is full replace the hatch cover and move the keg to the fridge.
