OK, so I've now got my kegs setup and a brew about ready to port to the kegs. I have only done bottling in the past so I need some advice.
Since I will be kegging and adding CO2 will I still need to add the sugar as I do with bottling? Should I add the sugar and just enough CO2 to seal the keg lid? Does the sugar not add any to the taste to the brew but only carbonates?
Also, I have another batch that is ready for the secondary. However, it looks like I am not going to get the full 5 gallons. Should I add water to the secondary to bring the brew to a full 5 gallons? Could I just leave the brew in the primary for another 2 weeks instead of migrating to the secondary?
The brew was my first mini-mash which is an Irish Stought
Thanks,
Tim
