Cask Ale Conditioning at Home

cask ale conditioning at home

Written by Benjamin Parr

My passion for homebrew led me to set up KegThat! I work as a software developer during the day and manage kegthat on evenings and weekends. Occasionally I write some blog posts when I get the time!

Don’t try this at home! Or at least use some caution. I try to carbonate my home brew beer in a pressure barrel by transferring before fermentation has ended in an attempt for real ale conditioning. Will it work?

Get your pressure barrel here.

Pressure fermentation is a great way to create cleaner tasting beers, and can speed up lager fermentation times! This video shows you how to put your Keg King pressure fermenter together, sanitise, pressurise and ferment in it.

  1. Great video on cask conditioning experiment. I gave up using pressure barrels and now bottle after 2 – 3 weeks fermenting and feel after 3 years have finally perfected ‘as good as and indeed better than’ beers you can buy. Great to have your videos, cheers 🍻

    • Thanks! I go through phases with them. I tend to bottle and keg more these days as well but if I have an English style beer I tend to use the PB.
