I hate carbing in bottles. I don't mind bottling but whether it's priming sugar, drops, bottling bucket, whatever I just don't ever feel like I get the results I'm looking for. I'd love to move to kegging but right now I don't have the space or budget for the temp control I'd need in order to serve from kegs.
Here's the question, could I get a keg(kegs), CO2 tank, and regulator just to use for force carbing and then bottle from the keg? I've seen threads with some of this info and it sounds like all the steps are possible.
If it's possible, can I do it without temperature control? I make small batches (2.5 gallon) and ferment in a temp-controlled mini-fridge in my garage where the temps tend to swing a bit, say 65F-80F in the summer and 50F-60F in the winter. This fridge isn't big enough for kegs but holds my 2.5 gallon fermenters just fine.
EDIT: I should add that when I carb in the bottle, the bottles are brought inside and held in a cabinet at ~70F. This wouldn't be an option for a keg as there's not enough space.
