  5. Keg King PET Pressure Fermenter FAQ

    Pressure Fermenting

    I am new to pressure fermenting, what is the recommended pressure for fermenting?

    Pressure fermentation allows for the suppression of some yeast ester formations. This means that the esters that would have been produced at higher temperatures can be supressed so temperatures can be raised to speed the fermentation process. We feel that the sweet spot for LAGER (spelled LARGER on most homebrew forums) fermentation is somewhere around 15psi or 1bar of pressure to help the beer remain crisp and help suppress the two no no’s in crisp lager which are banana and clove esters!

    Higher pressures can be damaging to the yeast’s cell walls.

    Ale fermentation, in general, seeks to nurture ester production so by keeping the pressure low, around 8 to 10psi, you’ll have virtually no detectable difference in flavour unless you’ve got a palate as sensitive as a gas spectrometer. 

    Is it easy to get into brewing and pressure fermenting?

  7. Kegerators FAQ

    What is a Kegerator

    A Kegerator, or Keg Fridge, is a fridge designed specifically to dispense your favourite beverage from various keg sizes via a drought system set up on top of the fridge. Yes, you can have a drought system at home and pour yourself icy cold drinks anytime you want in the comfort and safety of your own home.

    What does FasTap mean?

    FasTap means everything has been pre-assembled for you. If one of our packages mentions FasTap, it means we have done the hard work for you and you will only have to assemble the font beer tower to the fridge and the wheels under the fridge should you want to add them, that's it!.
