OK. I'm probably just worrying too much, but:
I'm making a Munton's Old Conkerwood (Dark Ale)
1. Fermentation in bin took about 2 weeks (as expected)
2. Transferred to Top Tap Keg (all steralized etc.) last week (22nd) for secondary fermentation and added 85g of Light Spraymalt - as suggested in the instructions
3. Checked Keg yesterday and there was no pressure in the keg at all, i.e. opened up the tap and nothing came out. So I opened the lid of the keg and tasted a bit (not too bad). It is kept in my living room.
Could anyone please tell me if that is expected and should I pressurize the keg with a CO2 canister (which was supplied with my beginners kit)? Also if I have now taken the top off the keg do I need to start secondary fermentation again (i.e. re-prime it)?
Thanks
Richard
