I'm trying to build my first kegerator and I've never even set up a keg before in my life, so I'm trying to order things and doing it a bit blindly. I'd go down to my friendly brew shop, but I'm in rural South Korea, so I need to seek advice online.
I bought these 8L PET "keg" bottles and spunding valves for them in hopes that I can somehow get enough pressure in them from sugar priming them as do with my 1L bottles. My idea was to transition to kegging this way, and do this a while before investing in CO2 and steel kegs.
I have a little picnic tap, but also ordered a tap and tower assembly in hopes that I can somehow draft beer from them. My question is: will pressure from the bottles be enough to draft from a tower? Or do I also need the CO2 assembly in order to do that?
I'm hoping someone else has played with these "disposable" kegs and/or bottle conditioning in kegs.
Also... Any advice for getting the yeast out of the kegs after they're carbonated? Will I be able to pour a first glass of sludge to get it out?
