Kegging - first batch!

Today we kegged the first batch of Cream Ale. We cleaned the keg using PBW. Shook it around and then used Star Sans to sanitize the keg. We put about 2.5 gallons in each keg.


If we could do it over again we would have sanitized the spout on the fermentator. All in all it was an easy process.


We both put the regulator to 10 psi and decided to let it sit for a week while we both shop around for our own refrigerators.....


We did measure the gravity of the beer. It was right on at 1.007 (was supposed to be 1.006 to 1.012).


We did not measure the original gravity of the beer, so we were unable to calculate the ABV. However, several tastings later suggest the ABV to be around 4.5.
