Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to rack a cider to my keg and would like to backsweeten it as well. I want to add the campden and potassium sorbate directly to the keg instead of transferring to another vessel first. Right now, the cider is in my only 5 gallon fermenter, and I'd rather not rack into my 6 gallon better bottle for fear of excessive headspace.
Is this an option? If I pull the pressure relief valve every now and then, won't the sulfites still be able to off-gas?
Thanks!
