corny to corny

[bcryan]

whats gonna happen if i transfer an already carbed beer in a corny to another corny using the jumper technique?? will i lose alot of carbonation?

Use low pressure to transfer. This way you avoid agitating the beer too much in the receiving keg.

so low pressure and everything should be ok?

Purge the target keg first with CO2, and use low pressure like 2-3 PSI. You will still transfer some sediment.

but minimal loss of carbonation??

In my experience, starting and ending pressure don't really matter, it's the difference between the two that needs to be low.
Hopefully both kegs and lines are cold, as well.
I transfer at 10psi, making sure the receiving keg is at 10psi, and putting my spunding valve on at 9psi or so.
Transfer is fairly quick, very little foam, no noticeable loss in CO2.

Just for fun?

you're in a closed system, where is the carbonation (co2) going to go?

The pressure differential is what will move the beer. A low pressure will keep things neat and less splashy. Pressure keg 2 once you're done and I would anticipate very little loss of pressure.

Try to keep it cold, too.
