Hi everyone,
We have a tasting setup with friends where we brew shared batches using a 20 liter keg as the fermentation vessel, and rack / divide the finalised product into everyone’s own small (think 5 liter) kegs which have 16 g CO2 regulators for serving.
We also have another 20 l keg and forced carb equipment, and planned on always transferring the fermented beer to that keg for force carbonation, before dividing the final product to small kegs. But now I’m wondering if there is any downside to just doing the forced carb directly in the fermentation keg on top of the yeast after fermentation has completed?
Any downside to this, will I mess up the yeast and have less clear beer? Any other suggestions to streamline the process and avoid doing keg transfers twice?
Thanks in advance!
