Might be a silly question, after draining from the beerdroid into the keg and carbonating, how long do you recommend storing the keg before drinking the beer. Is there a need for a 2nd fermentation?
No there is no need to wait for a secondary ferment as you already have carbonated using injected gas. You can drink straight away but depends on beer style, generally stouts get better with age, fresh hoppy flavours degrade over time.
@@IKEGGER Thank you, I'm currently brewing my first ever batch of Aztec Cerveza Mexican... Might leave it for a week or two before drinking... dont know what to expect
It depends on the size of the keg and the temperature and pressure. There is no one answer sorry. You're best to go undercarbonated (say 20psi for 5-10min rolling) then set the pressure to final service pressure an let sit for a day or two, this way you won't over carbonate and can just check it over time till it's ready to drink. See this page for more info on pressure, temp and beer style: www.ikegger.com/pages/how-to-force-carbonate-and-brew-under-pressure
Great video mate. I too am looking at pairing ikegger gear with the brewdroid. Seems super easy for someone wanting to get started.
That is a pretty slick system :-)
How do you add the hops?

What is the size of the filling tube/line? What is the I.D. and O.D.?
an 8mm external silicon hose fits in perfectly to the tap, the one we used was 6mm internal
how long do you shake the barrel and how much psi?

What kind of hose do you use from the beer Droid to the keg?
It's a 6mm internal and 9mm external silicon line www.ikegger.com/collections/lines-adapters-and-spares/products/6mm-beer-gas-line
Also what kind of top valve are you using on the keg to force the air out with co2 sorry for the newbie questions
