Hi everyone!
After two and a half years of bottling I decided to start kegging. I will continue to carbonate beer with priming sugar like I did so far.
I will use CO2 tank just to seal the keg and to pour the beer from keg. I have few questions regarding this method:
1. How can I be sure that I properly sealed the lid?
2. After I siphon the beer, add priming sugar and seal the lid do I have to leave the CO2 connected to the keg or it doesn't matter? I recently made 9% ABV tripel that took 3 months to carbonate and I don't want to have my regulator occupied while waiting for beer to carbonate.
3. For the ones who use this method with natural carbonation, how many kegs you managed to pour with 5 lb CO2 tank?
Thanks!
