Just got a new 3 gallon keg kit, I have 2 gallons of Ranger-cloneish in it, not knowing about volume to psi levels, I set it @ 16 thinking I only need half for doing the quick method. I believe Im wrong about that and should have just set it @30 after further researching. Anyway....
Its been 30 hrs and Im wanting to check it, my first glass will be wasted anyway with sediment due to some "hard times" racking from using loose leaf hops. I got more sediment in it than I was bargoning for.I used a hop bag on my siphon to filter and that didnt work so I took it off and got hop leafs stuck in my auto-siphon- I eventually got most of it in my keg loosing a good 3-4 beers. I should have just funnel/strained the last of the carboy that I couldent siphon. Not to mention the little black-flapper -valve came out of the siphon. NOw I got to find a way to put it back in.
So why do I need to purge it before setting it to 10 then dispensing some? And do I need to purge all of it till it stops? Then set it at 10 before dispensing some? I was going to not purge it andsee what happens but I thought Id better ask first since Ive never kegged before.
