Need some suggestions on how to approach this. I have 5 gallons of Berliner Weisse in the Carboy. I have ordered 12 Belgian Bottles, corks, wires, and a Portuguese floor corker. That put me back a couple of bucks, and cannot afford to order any more bottles and corks at this time.
According to my calculations, I then have enough bottles to fill 2.3 gallons of Beer into the Belgians. Great news for Long storage. I want to keg the remaining 2.7 gallons.
I want 4.0 volumes of C02. Since I'm going to be adding sugar in order to bottle, should I just do a natural carb for the keg and do it all at the same time? If so, then how will this effect my keg sugar ratio..... I'd like to just add all the sugar into the bottling bucket, fill the bottles, then transfer the rest to my keg. But will that leave my keg over carbonated? I do realize I must purge the keg when only filing half of the keg. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
