Ok I have searched but no one has detailed info on filling a sanke keg. A couple friends has a kegerator with sanke taps and asked to brew some homebrew for them. The only problem I have is filling the sanke & carbonating.
I have seen several threads about dissaembling the kegs, which I already kno how to do.
As far as Filling, here's my plan:
I am goin to keg from a corney ( may use a already kegged batch).
So I will pressurize corney to say 20psi, then pressurize sanke to 10psi.
I will hook up co2 to gas post on corney, then hook liquid post from corney to sanke beer tap. I possibly plan to cap the gas barb on the sanke to prohibit pressure loss.
Also I plan on using a sanke tap with a pressure relief valve.
So in theory, as I start to bleed a little pressure from the sanke (using pressure relief valve) the co2 should push the beer from the corney to the sanke. Does this make sense?
Then when full I will put sanke on co2 to carb up.
Thanks!
