I just finished a American light beer and I decided to keg carbonate it with the bottling sugar. I know that the first 2 pulls off the keg will have yeast sediment, but I wanted to see how the carbonation is effected vs force carbonating.
You say you don't have enough room for a kegerator... Check out the frigidaire kegerator conversion here on HBT. I did one and I can fit 2 5gal kegs and a 2 1/2 gal keg in it and it only is a 4.3 cu ft fridge.
