Hello.
I'm going to try something new for me, priming in korny kegs.
This is for a family wedding in mid-June.
I'm going to carbonate two kegs - one with dry cider, one with hopped cider - and instead of force carbonating I'm going to add priming sugar to the kegs.
I will be storing the kegs at room temperature until the wedding at which stage I'll chill them for a day or two before the wedding.
I have a pound of corn sugar ready to go (I hear that has no impact on flavor) but I have heard conflicting reports about the amount of sugar per keg to get a nice mid-sparkling cider.
Anyone any experience with this and can give me some pointers on what/what not to do? I have heard so much conflicting info - leave on gas, take of gas, use .5 or .3 the regular amount of sugar, etc.
Thanks.
