kegging

hi there does any1 know if i can put the coopers ipa in a pressure barrel because it only has instructions for botteling

HBO_Staff

All the Coopers range can be kegged or bottled, depending on your preference. In bottles it will be easier to chill if you want it cooler, but either is fine. Use the same amount of sugar based on grammes per pint, often it's around 80 to 100g for a barrel but check the specific instructions for that beer.

robysocks

the only insructions for sugar is for bottleing

HBO_Staff

it will give a rate per bottle though, if you total up how much sugar you would use if bottling, then use that whole amount in the keg. If not sure just put 100g in the keg

robysocks

it tells you to prime a bottle with 8g of sugar so that would be 184g of sugar for 23 litres which i will be making to put in pressure barrel

HBO_Staff

We've checked the instructions and it says 8g per litre, so for 23 litres you are right to add around 180g into the keg. Often with kegs they say less, but any excess pressure will be released by the keg through the vent cap, so follow the priming rate that Coopers recommend
