Prime it the same as if you were bottling. 7/8 cup sugar to 5 gallons.

It will take 2 weeks to carb and you will still need pressure to serve.......

Skip that and get the part you need.

If you have no way to purge the keg with CO2, then I'd leave as little headspace as possible.

FWIW, I only use 3 oz of corn sugar to carb a keg.

His are 30 litre > almost 8 us gal.

I fill to about 3 cm below gas in tube.

Holy overcarbed keg, Batman! Because of reduced head space, you generally need much less sugar to carb a keg than a bottle. I just primed a kegged stout a couple of days ago, used 1.5 oz (42.5 g) of corn sugar for a 5 gal batch.

I do roughly the same. I generally use 1/2 the amount of priming sugar to carbonate in the keg compared to bottling (1.5 - 2.5 oz). Everything has turned out fine so far in my beverages.

i have a Refrigerator and i can cool it till 38F

can it help ?

Wait until it's carbonated before chilling it. It needs to be at room temperature to carbonate, if you're using corn sugar to carbonated it. The yeast will not work in the refrigerator.

and how much space you have Between the beverage and the top of the keg ?

 

[samorai]

i want to fill it up

but i dont know how much air do i need to Leave ?

Because if it is Like a bottle so you need to leave some air Right?

Thanks to everyone for everything! I really appreciate it

Some headspace is necessary. Can't say I've ever measured it, but a ball park figure, 2"-5" liquid to lid.
