I just got a couple 7.9 gallon all-rounders, and I want to make sure I understand this all correctly. My biggest fear here is how much CO2 is generated during fermentation. FYI, I’m coming from buckets and carboys.
1) Transfer wort to the all-rounder, pitch yeast, and seal it up with an air lock. I’m assuming that you need to ferment for some period of time to guarantee the headspace is all CO2.
2) Install a jumper from gas side of fermenter to the gas side of corney keg filled with starsan. Beer side of corney keg use hose to go to empty bucket.
3) Once starsan is pushed out of corney keg, put spunding valve on keg set to 14 psi or so. Probably switch jumper to the beer side, valve on gas side.
4)Once fermentation is complete jumper from beer out on fermenter to beer out on keg. Get siphon started and attach keg gas in to fermenter gas in.
IDK how much CO2 it takes for all of those steps, but it seems like a lot. I’m sure OG plays a part in this.
