Homebrew Kegging Parts

Kegging is one of the many ways to store your homebrew. The most traditional way of storing serving beer involves priming and filling bottles with beer, and capping. However, this process can be time-consuming; thus, many opt to keg their homemade beer. Kegging is a faster and easier way to store and dispense your homebrew.

Although convenient, a keg is not as portable as compared with storing beer in bottles as you cannot always take a keg over to your friend's house. If that is the case, you can still use a unique tool called a counter-pressure filler so that you can bottle beer from the keg.

If you opt to keg your beer, you could build a kegging system or kegerator. A kegging system requires several necessary components which include the CO2 (or other types of gas) tank, regulator, keg, gas hose, dispensing hose, quick disconnect, tap and refrigerator. (more info below)
