5 gallon keg; Priming with dextrose (priming sugar). Use only Five tablespoons Dextrose for the complete keg. ( one tablespoon per Gallon) OR 1-tablespoon & 1 teaspoon Dry Malt Extract per gallon. Mix the primer of choice in two cups of the beer to totally dissolve prior to adding into the keg.
Mini Kegs (5 Liter) Use one LEVEL tablespoon dextrose per mini keg. PRIME Mini Kegs individually Not with a bulk mix. It is always best to add the primer to a small amount of the beer to totally dissolve first.
Bottles: For bulk priming in the bucket, for 5 gallons of beer being bottled in 12 or 22 ounce bottles. Use 3/4 cup to 5 ounces dextrose (priming sugar)
Or 1-1/4 cup Dry Malt Extract.
Add the primer of choice to (1) cup of water and (1) cup of the finished beer. Bring the mix just to a boil and cool to the beer temperature that is being primed. Gently blend the Cooled primer mix into the container you are priming in, as you are transferring the beer. (do not splash - Fold IN) This will give you an even blend of the primer mix. After you have bottled half the batch, again gently blend the beer and continue bottling.
Force Carbonation
Method One: Cold Carbonation
Cooler should be 38° - 40°
Set the Co2 regulator to 15 PSI for Light malted Beers or 18 PSI for heavy malted Beers.
Pressurize the keg until pressure equals set pressure. Disconnect the Co2 fitting to the keg. Shake the keg vigorously for 2 minutes. Repressureize the keg and let it equalize again to the Regulator set pressure. Let the keg remain in the cooler chilled.
Repeat this process 2 to 3 times a day for two days. After the beer has retained the Co2 in liquid, reduce the keg pressure to 5 PSI. Reset the Regulator to 8 PSI for dispensing.
Method Two: Same techniques as in Method One but the pressures are higher and the keg is not chilled until before use.
Set the Co2 regulator to 32 PSI for Light malted Beers or 38 PSI for heavy malted Beers.
The keg remains at room temp during the carbonation. This may take a day or two longer depending on your room temperatures. After the beer has retained the Co2 in liquid, reduce the keg pressure to 5 PSI. Reset the Regulator to 8 PSI for dispensing.
Note: For Your Safety. Always store Co2 tank in the UPRIGHT position.
Your Co2 tank should be secured in place with a safety chain at all times.
The safety chain should be rated at 100 pounds or over. Always turn the tank completely on until the valve seats.
