Force carbing CO2 into Nitro kegs/growlers

[rgraville]

So a LOT of places are only offering beer to-go right now.
Some beers are on nitro and some places will fill corny kegs or uKeg growlers.

If one were to get a keg or growler filled with a beer that was packaged on nitro, the nitro will dissipate leaving flat beer. Can this just be force-carbonated as if a homebrew racked to a keg?

Sure, you can do that. But I'd be a bit cautious wrt process and not assume the keg carbonation is equivalent to what you'd have had you racked your own fermentor. It could be significantly higher.

The safe way is to use chart pressure and patience. Burst carbing would be the opposite of safe under the circumstances...

Cheers!
