Hi All I have a Hefe in the fermenter now. What I need to know is when should I transfer to keg? This is for my girlfriend, she loves Hefe and it HAS to be Cloudy. The last two batches I made were too clear for her. I usually ferment for a week, then transfer to a secondary for 3-5 days. Then...

Hi I was thinking of sending some relatives some of my beer, the problem I have is that my beer is kegged. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to send beer that's in a keg. I have no problem of xferring to bottles, except what would that do to the flavor/carbonation? Clayton Clark
