Essential Tools and Ingredients

Before you begin, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Brew Glitter® (designed specifically for beverages and 100% safe for consumption)

  • Clean, depressurized kegs

  • Keg washer

  • CO2 system and connectors

Step-by-Step Instructions for Kegging Glitter Beer

1. Prepare Your Kegs

Start by sending all the kegs you’ll be using through a keg washer to ensure they’re completely clean. Contamination can compromise the appearance and taste of your glitter beer, so this step is crucial.

2. Select and Depressurize Your Kegs

Identify the kegs you plan to use for your glitter beer. Depressurize each one carefully, then remove the spear to allow access to the keg interior.

3. Add the Glitter

Using the keg spear port, pour the desired amount of Brew Glitter® into the keg. Be mindful of how much glitter you use—a little goes a long way! Follow the product guidelines for the perfect ratio to achieve a striking visual effect without affecting the beer’s flavor.

4. Reseal and Repressurize

After adding the glitter, securely reseal the spear and locking ring. Repressurize the keg using a CO2 snake until it reaches the pressure level you typically use for your normal kegging process.

5. Fill the Keg

Once the keg is repressurized, fill it with your beer as you normally would. Be sure to handle the kegs with care to prevent excessive settling of the glitter during this process.

6. Store Upside Down

Here’s a pro tip: store your kegged glitter beers upside down in the cooler until you’re ready to serve. This ensures the glitter stays evenly distributed. When it’s time to tap the beer, flip the keg right-side up. This movement helps suspend the glitter throughout the beer, creating that magical swirling effect.

Tips for Maximizing the Wow Factor

  • Perfect Timing: Glitter beer is best served fresh and sparkling. Make it a highlight for limited-time events to drive excitement and exclusivity.

  • Marketing Opportunities: Encourage customers to share photos of their glitter beer on social media. Create a branded hashtag to make it easy to track and repost their content.

  • Experiment with Styles: While lighter beers like lagers and pilsners showcase glitter best, don’t be afraid to experiment with other styles to see what works for your brewery’s unique offerings. Gold Brew Glitter looks amazing in Guinness!
