Procedure for kegging in a sankey keg

[Dakota21601]

Okay. I going to start kegging my home brews but I am going to use some 1/6 barrel Sankeys I have to avoid the pain of adapting all my three taps to accept corney or sanke kegs. I am comfortable cleaning and prepping but want know:
1.) How much priming sugar to use. I am going to let my beer age as opposed to flash carbonate it.
2.) do u have to pressurize the Sankes to seal them like a Corney? If so what is the procedure for that?
Thanks

2. I have never had to pressurize a sanke keg to seal.

Great thanks! So u mean u have never had to seal one as in u have never used one, or it isn't necessary once its tapped, or?

Once spear is installed on a sanke, it should be sealed and not need any initial pressure to make a seal.

Them sankes are sturdy beasts!
