Bottling a Kegged IPA. How to do it corectly?

[clblittle]

So I put a 5gal batch of IPA on tap. Its a mighty strong one coming in about 8%. I discovered one unsuspecting work night (morning really) that I don't need something that strong on tap around here and now would rather have it bottled...

I know that I cant just go straight from the keg to the bottle. I also dont think that priming it as I normally do would result that well either since it is force carb'd. Is this something that I should let warm, add half the normal priming sugar and carry on as if it were a normal bottle batch? Less priming than that? None? Its good stuff and I dont want to ruin it. Please let me know what you all would do.

Thanks in advance!

Personally I'd leave it. I have a keg of a beer that I don't drink often but it isn't hurting it to sit there.

This is my biggest fear with kegging, that I'll keg a batch that I don't want to drink on a regular basis. I guess the answer is to have more than one keg!

If you want to bottle a kegged beer, check this out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/we-no-need-no-stinking-beer-gun-24678/

I personally have done it many times, and won some awards in competitions from beer bottled just as this was!

Blichman Beer Gun.....best investment for bottling from kegs.

Bowie Bottler (Perlick only). I've bottled straight from the tap (shhhhh)- just lower to about 6 psi, drink the first bit, then pour down the side of your bottle. No one has ever known
