I went straight to kegging, and here are a few questions I still haven't picked up yet:
Thanks!
- Can I simply use a bottle wand attached to my picnic tap to 'bottle' some beer? (it's already carbed in my corney keg). If so, do you try to fill it right to the top so as to not leave any air in the bottle?
- Can beer in secondary and/or bottles be 'conditioned' at any temperature? (or must it be kept in the same range as during fermentation)
- For my birthday (today!) I received some really cool handmade handles for my future keezer faucets. They are pretty heavy. Any suggestions on what faucets to buy in the hopes that they don't just pour themselves? http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/chrome-faucet-brass-lever.html or http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/chrome-faucet-s-s-lever.html or http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/the-perl-faucet-stainless-steel.html The reviews on the 'new' perl faucets make me a bit nervous.
Thanks!
