I picked up a counter-flow beer gun to fill my bottles. This will be the first timer using it. The beers is fully carbonated.
I'm planning to :
- Take the keg off CO2.
- Cool the keg to just above freezing
- Freeze my bottles prior to bottling
- Bottle using the beer gun instructions
Before I fill the bottles, should I carb the beer a little higher in anticipation of losing some CO2 during bottling? For example, I'm at 12 PSI for serving now. Do I crank the beer to 15 PSI for a few days, purge the keg right before bottling, then bottle?
Anyone have experience with these things?
