So I'm about to start kegging, and I only have 1 faucet but room for 2 or 3 kegs. I figured it would be pretty cool to rig up a bleed valve and gauge so I can just ferment lagers in the keg w/ my extra space, and bleed the extra pressure off. But a question is... must you siphon the beer to another keg for dispensing because of the yeast slurry and hop slop?
I thought the idea of cask conditioning it would be neat, but then again.... there is the problem with the yeast layer in the bottom. Would you have to adjust the dip tube height somehow to be above the yeast layer?
And then there's the general problem with yeast settling out of the beer. If you keg right after primary, there's going to be yeast settling in your keg. Yeast coming out the faucet in a "supposed to be clear" beer!
