Kegging smaller batches

[guldalian]

Anyone ever keg smaller batches (2.5-3 gal) in a 5 gal corny? Should be fine if I purge, right?

It would most likely depend how fast you're drinking it. Even with purging CO2 and the O2 in the air are still mixing quite a bit so you'll always have residue oxygen. If you plan on drinking it slow or bulk aging it, you can check out CO2 transfer to keg if you use glass to ferment in.

I agree w/ V-Fib. I use CO2 transfer both going from carboy to carboy and carboy to keg but I ferment in Better Bottles. No problems.
