Ideally yes, I would have wanted to go though the outlet and have a vent for the inlet. However I'm using a Fastferment conical fermenter and the line was too wide for the connections I have. This was my first time using either the fastferment or a keg, so a lot of learning happened today...
First time kegging here and I think I messed it up, wanted to run it by the community to see what everyone thinks.
- filled a 5 gallon pin lock keg with appropriate Star San to water mixture, pressurized with CO2 and pushed all the star san out.
- purged the keg 6 times with CO2.

The book I plan to use (plan to pick it up once I get some time to myself) is How to Brew by John Palmer. A friend of mine says its the beginner's brew bible. I think its around $15 at Barnes and Noble.
If someone else has any suggestions I'm more than open to them.
So I've done a TON of research on home brewing but have yet to try it. I'm currently trying to get my hands on equipment and ingredients, but I will definitely be using this site for recipes and troubleshooting! I look foward to contributing!
