[Homebrewers] Cask beer

[Glen Franke]

Just hit it with some SO2. Take care of the oxidation and bugs all in one
step.

What about a hepa filter to minimize germs?

Sounds right to me.
Obviously with this setup, you'll need to worry about oxidation. You could
put nitrogen on the gas line with a low pressure to aleviate oxidation
concerns; CAMRA would probably consider this "cheating"!

You only need a beer engine if you need to pump the beer up to the serving
location (e.g. when the beer is in the cellar). Although a beer engine would
give you the benefit of the sparkler, the little nozzle on the end which, I
believe, ends up forcing the dissolved CO2 out of solution, making a nice
head.

        Brattstrom may have told me this one already, but I forgot.  If I
want to make and serve cask beer, I would rack from primary to a keg and
allow to carbonate (I assume you prime it).  Then lay the keg on it's side,
but keep the gas post elevated above the beer in the keg.  Attach and air
hose to t he gas post and a picnic tap or other dispenser to the liquid out.
Is that it?  And the only difference between this and a firkin is that a
firkin is a specific quantity (10 gallons?)?
