Hi.
Yesterday, it was my first pressure transfer from my ss brewtech 7gal BME to my 5gal corny keg. Wanted to try the no oxygen transfer technique.
I purged the keg before and connected a 3/8 hose on my fermenter racking valve, connected the quick connect on the beer line of the keg, opened the PRF, set the pressure at the top to 2-3 psi and opened the racking valve.
I got a good clear beer flowing into the line.
My question is how much time is it supposed to take to fill the keg? It took like 30 to 40 min to transfer 4.75 gal . Is it normal or it should be faster? I cannot saw the flow rate because the beer was so clear and cant saw any bubble going in the keg ( wich is great
I also felt that I used a lot of co2 during the transfer time and have to play with the pressure gauge while there was less beer in the fermenter.
I also know that I had good pressure because the pressure valve at the top or the conical is opening at 3 psi for protection if I remember.
So Im I on the spot with 30-40 min transfer time or it should be faster?
Thanks
