GOT A 2L stainless steel keg. How to carbonate?

[joeyjojojr]

I would natural carbonate as only 1 top so, same as a bottle with half the priming sugar, am I correct?

Bought this because it won't be affected by sunlight and 2L is a small enough batch to drink at one sitting. Cost me a little over $10.

You brew 2L batches?

I take it, it's actually a 2L growler like this one?

As Johnny said, are you brewing 2L batches? I'm also not sure why it would take half the priming sugar.... Just add the priming sugar to your bottling bucket, rack your beer on top, then bottle to your bottles and this keg/growler. If it's like the one from that site, they say it can take the pressure of bottle conditioning, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Yes, thaat growler there, but didnt buy from that site. Obviously not actually their design if I found it elsewhere but..

so if we carbonate kegs with half sugar, why not carbonate this bg half? What is the big difference?

 

[Hello]

Because you're not serving that beer from the growler via co2. You're serving it from a bottle basically. If I prime a keg, a real keg, then hook it up to gas, it could become over carbonated. At least that's what I understand. I keg and prime in the keg sometimes. It's worked for me using 1/2 the sugar. You're not using a keg, you're using a growler that looks like a cute keg but it's still a growler. Treat it like a bottle.
