Hello All,
I'm getting several petainerkegs soon and I'm having a bit of a problem understanding the filling process. As a reference, I'm using the following video: http://youtu.be/9mhsuoMZhGg
As far as I understand, this is how it works:
-I will have my gas cylinder connect, via a regulator, to the gas in post of the filling head. The liquid line is connected directly from my tank (brite tank, etc) to the liquid in post. The liquid can be gravity fed.
-A first step, I'll open the gas feed at a relatively low pressure and open the gas out to purge all the sterilized oxygen out of the keg. After about 30 seconds, the gas will be closed.
-Here comes the confusing part, when it comes to filling, and when they refer to regulating the counter pressure, is that done via the previously mentioned cylinder and regulator? In other words, does this step consist of:
Opening the liquid in valve
Setting the pressure in my cylinder's regulator to filling pressure and opening the gas in?
Manipulating the speed and foaming of the filling process via the gas out valve?
Is that pretty much it?
Also, any recommendation on good filling heads for this purpose?
Thanks in advance!
