A few days ago I picked up a homebrew kegging setup from Keg Cowboy. Today, I put them to use after getting my CO2 tank filled at Katy Propane. Kegging took far less time from start to finish than bottling.

I took the kegs apart, cleaned everything, replaced the O-rings, and then treated both with some more of my 12.5ppm Iodophor solution. From there the process was a lot like bottling. My priming solution (1/3 cup corn sugar in a cup of water) was added to one of the cleaned and sanitized kegs, and I siphoned the beer from my fermenter to the keg. I did manage to make a pretty huge mess, but I’ll solve that problem with a longer section of tubing before I keg another beer. Now that one of the kegs has beer conditioning inside, I’ve got a week or two to actually finish my keezer build. Better get a move on it.
