sick of bottling so I'm going to keg. I plan to use a 5 gallon corny keg as a secondary as well. Up to this point I've always only done primary and then bottle. I've answered most of my questions by reading other posts but still unclear about a couple of things.
When I'm ready to transfer from my secondary (corny keg) to a serving keg I want to do it with CO2 pressure to avoid O2 exposure. Do I just hook up the CO2 tank and hook up a line with nothing on the output end (no faucet), put that end into the serving keg, and then let the beer run into the serving keg? How much pressure do you use to do that?
Once it's in the serving keg, if I'm not ready to serve it (no free faucet for example), should I store it under pressure or flat? I plan to store it cold so I guess this would be cold conditioning but it's not clear to me if that's done with pressure on the keg or not. If so, how much pressure?
I guess that's it for now.
thanks
