I have kegs arriving in the next few days and I want to free up my carboy. Can I just transfer everything into a keg and leave it sit there instead of the carboy? Is there anything else I should do if I move it?

Thank you

Thanks. I will try that. I haven't received my kegs yet, they are in transit but yes they are corny kegs. So how long can I leave it sit like that with 10psi ? Can I carbonate slowly over time doing it that way and is it possible that it will over carbonate the beer if left like that for too long?

Hi, I'm new to home brewing beer I've done 5 brews so far and decide to go from bottling to kegging. My process now is basically primary fermentation for 7-10 days then I add finings and leave for another 2 days before bottle conditioning from there. I plan to leave my bottles for 6 weeks plus...

So is there a way I can fix this? I've stirred it, still nothing. I will leave it sit for another week and recheck the gravity. Its at 1.012 at the moment. I may just have to write this batch off as a fail

Yeah they are out of sunlight. I've seen how they slow down but this just stopped rapidly almost as soon as I moved the fermemter. its my forth brew and I haven't had any problems so far... the tooheys new next to it didn't change bit the VB did. its strange

Since moving them into the tray the VB has stopped fermenting after two days. it was bubbling like crazy and then just stopped all of a sudden any ideas what could have happened. it went from 30c down to 26c I wouldn't think that would affect it in anyway

Thanks. yeah its VB for my brother

this is what i have done, i dont have anything big enough to put it in but i will look for something tomorrow. thanks thats a good idea, i might incorporate a fish tank heater also and set the thermostat so it doesnt get too cold also

Hi I'm new to homebrewing. my air con is playing up and I'm trying to keep the temperature of my fermented down. I have them sitting in a tray with dry ice and ice. do you think this will work or will it just make the bottom half of the brew colder than the rest? Thanks
