Does anyone have advice on siphoning from keg to keg? I recall reading an article that described something along the lines of this:
I attempted this method today to move star-san around and had little success. I saw the liquid in the line, but was unable to tell if it was moving or not. I couldn't measure the liquid levels in either keg. I tried using a bathroom scale to see if it was working and the siphon just appeared to stall without reason. Can anyone with experience with this method shine light on what might've gone wrong.
- Connect source keg and empty keg to CO2 distributer. Equalize pressure to both kegs.
- Connect both beverage out posts with a jumper hose.
- Close the CO2 valve to the destination keg.
- Bleed a small amount of pressure from the empty keg. This creates areas of high and low pressure, which starts the siphon.
- Open the CO2 valve to the destination keg. This allows the air being pushed out of the destination keg to fill the space in the source keg.
