I'm sick of the beer I have on tap and want to bottle from a keg, and the guy at my local homebrew store showed me a counterpressure filler he made, which looks easy enough to use but I've heard about beer not lasting very long that way.
So I was wondering...If I removed the keg from the co2, purged it and let it go flat, could I then add priming sugar and bottle, to recarb it? How long would it take to go flat before I could add priming sugar?
Would this extend the carbonation of the beer as opposed to bottling straight from the keg with co2 in it?
And in general, whatever method used to bottle from a keg, would naturally carbonating the beer with priming sugar instead of force carbing help maintain carbonation if I eventually want to bottle it?
Thanks!
