Keg King

Keg King

Which size to choose?

The Keg King is available in several sizes, with models ranging from 20 liters to 30 liters. The choice of size mainly depends on your brewing volume.

From the King Junior model of 20 liters to the Chubby model of 30 liters, including the Apollo Snub Nose (conical shape), there is something for every amateur pressure fermentation brewer. Make sure to choose a size that suits your needs without compromising the quality of your brewing.

Pressurization

The Keg King is designed for pressure fermentation, which is a major advantage for amateur brewers. The fermenter can withstand pressures up to 2.4 bars (35 psi), allowing for faster fermentation and better carbonation. Always check the specifications of the model you choose to ensure its capacity to withstand the desired pressure.

Materials and durability

The Keg King is made from high-quality materials, including PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and stainless steel. The PET fermenters are known for their resistance to shocks and scratches, while the stainless steel fermenter offers additional durability and solidity. Models such as the Apollo Snub Nose (conical PET) and the Apollo Titan (30 liters, conical stainless steel) illustrate this diversity of materials. Additionally, the conical models of Keg King offer an optimal shape for sedimentation of yeast and particles, making cleaning easier and improving the quality of the beer.

Ease of cleaning

The Keg King fermenters are designed to be easily disassembled, which simplifies the cleaning process. The components can be separated and cleaned individually, ensuring optimal hygiene. It is recommended to use suitable cleaning products to avoid damaging the PET fermenter and the stainless steel fermenter and prolong the life of your equipment.

Accessories

The Keg King fermentation kit generally includes several accessories, such as a thermowell, a pressure relief valve, and fittings for transferring the beer. These accessories optimize the use of your isobaric fermenter and ensure successful fermentation. Depending on your specific needs, you can also purchase additional accessories to further enhance the performance of your conical fermenter.

Temperature control

Temperature control is crucial for successful fermentation. The Keg King Apollo Titan, for example, can be used with a thermowell and a temperature controller to ensure optimal conditions. This helps maintain a consistent temperature and prevent fluctuations that could affect the quality of your beer. The Keg King fermenters are particularly suited for this task due to their robust design and pressurization capabilities.

Beer transfer

Transferring beer from the Keg King to kegs or bottles is facilitated by the presence of appropriate fittings and valves. To avoid leaks or pressure losses, it is essential to check the tightness of the connections and use quality hoses. Using a pressure transfer system also minimizes the risk of oxidation and preserves the freshness of the beer.

Carbonation

The Keg King fermenters allow you to carbonate and serve directly from the fermenter, which is practical and efficient. Thanks to their ability to withstand high pressures, you can achieve optimal carbonation without having to transfer the beer to another container. This also reduces the risk of contamination and simplifies the brewing process.

User reviews

User reviews on the Keg King are excellent. Brewers appreciate its ease of use, durability, and pressure fermentation capabilities. The conical fermenters of Keg King are particularly appreciated for their shape, which facilitates the sedimentation of yeast and particles. Users also recommend investing in additional accessories to optimize the use of your conical fermenter and ensure optimal brewing quality.
