Is "kegging" the same as " raking" when you make wine ? As in siphoning the wine off the top off the dead yeast at the bottom?
I think I didn't let the beer or I guess mead " cook" off long enough before I bottled it ?
No, when I keg, I siphon the beer from the fermenter into a keg. Like they have in a bar, except in my shop. Which, FWIW, is better....
So, unlike bottling the beer, where you need to add sugar to carbonate it in the bottle naturally (which leaves a yeast cake on the bottom of the bottle), you siphon it to the keg, hook it up to CO2, and let it carbonate by pressure.
