I am in the process of putting together my closed pressure transfer process from conical fermenter (about to order 14g Chronical) into multiple (2-3 3gal) kegs using CO2.
My conical fermenter won't have a sight glass to indicate how much beer is going into the keg.
During transfer, the kegs' lids are closed and I can't see how much beer kegs are receiving.
My question is how do I know when keg1 is full and when to switch my beer disconnect to a next keg?
I can think of 2 things:
1. Let the beer overflow out of gas connectors on keg1, then switch beer line to a next keg. Cons: contaminated and potentially stuck gas disconnect on the keg.
2. Weigh each keg empty, full and during transfer in order to judge beer volume in a keg. Cons: finding 50 lbs precise scale for around $25.
Any better ideas?
