I've been watching some videos and reading about carbonation. Over and under carbonation has come up several times when referring to the keg version and I came up with a thought.
A keg is a big "bottle" that holds, say, 5 gallons of beer. If one were to treat the keg as an actual bottle and drop in the corn sugar as one would do for real bottles, wouldn't that produce the equivalent to the bottled beer?
Measuring the natural pressure developed in the fermentation process would yield the replacement pressure to be used via a CO2 cylinder as beer is removed from the keg to maintain the initial pressure down to the last drop.
What's wrong with this idea?
