So I am preparing to do a closed pressure transfer on my next ipa since I have not been all that happy with how quickly aroma etc leaves the keg.
I have my setup ready to go but just curious if my process is correct:
Set reg to 30 psi and hit the empty keg to seal lid
Change reg to 3-5 psi and fill keg, expelljng 2-3 times
Set tube connected to gas out post on keg with one end in sanitized liquid
Start transfer by feeding 3-5 psi to fermenter with other line hooked up to liquid out post
Do i have this right? I am thinking if keg is at higher pressure than fermentor I will be unable to push liquid in/fas out due to the pressure in balance is this safe to assume?
Also do you start pressure in fermentor low (1psi) and then slightly increase at start? I can think that if I hit the vessel right away at 5 psi I am going to stir all the trub up...
