Secondary in serving keg.

[RichSib]

I don't usually rack my session strength ales to a secondary fermenter but, due
to a lack of primary space, today I racked an Irish Red to a corny for
secondary. My intent is to leave it there at 66*ish for about 3 weeks before
chilling and carbing. Can I just carb it directly in the secondary keg, or
should I rack it to a fresh one before carbing?

you can carb in there. the first pint will have a lot of sediment in it but just dump it and drink the next one

I do this often. I have also primed in the keg before. Just a little more trub in the first pour.

Just make sure you check your head pressure in there while it secondaries. You're likely to get some additional fermentation when you rack it to the corny, and you don't want *too* much pressure in there.

This technique is especially useful for lagers. I do all my lagering in cornies then when its time I gas them up
