Today I'm bottling my entries for a local competition. I have a strong bitter and ordinary bitter in kegs and I plan to blend them by transferring to a third keg in order to get a best bitter to bottle and enter.
I'm using a blichmann beer gun to do my bottling.
I plan to use a "jumper" from the liquid out post on my already kegged beer to the liquid out post on the destination keg. Using just one source keg at a time.
Obviously you can't see the level in the keg so to get the blend I want (40% strong bitter, 60% ordinary bitter) I plan to put the destination keg on a bathroom scale and go by weight. I only need to blend enough to bottle my entries and a couple extra to try after I get my score sheets back.
Does my plan sound okay? Anyone else have experience blending beers from kegs?
