I usually make holiday mix-packs for friends. But this year, almost all the beers I want to include are already kegged.
I have a counter-pressure bottle filler. But it doesn't get optimal results and will be a PITA for bottling 6 different beers from kegs.
So I was wondering if it is possible to just add a bit of liquid primer to the bottles and then just fill directly from the chilled kegs/taps; Let the bottles sit at room temp a few days and then restore the lost carb through bottle conditioning? Or will the yeast from a chilled, carbed keg be too unreliable?
I'm also planning on just using plastic bottles this year (because getting all the bottles back from various people was a pain and I don't want to lose 60 glass bottles at once).
Yea? Nay? Something else?
