I'm planning a kellerbier this winter, and I've been thinking, would it work if I kegged or barrelled beer during late fermentation? This could then produce enough carbon dioxide to gently carbonate the beer, which is what I'm looking for in the kellerbier, and I don't want to prime or carbonate using external co2.
I was planning to use a pressure barrel for the kellerbier, but do you think that this will also be effective using a corny keg? I was thinking of racking during late fermentation to a vessel which will be used for both lagering and dispense - a pressure barrel in the case of the kellerbier, but I was thinking of using this method for a bock in a corny keg, using external co2 just to dispense.
A friend of mine works at a brewery, and they use this method when racking to casks - straight from the fermenter to the cask for condition and dispense.
