Kegging Still Water

[muse435]

Soon i will have an empty keg with nothing to put in it for a while. I was thinking of putting water in it so i would have cold water with out making a trip to the kitchen. Can I use very little pressure to push it out, with out carbing it?

it would slowly carbonate sitting in the keg with co2 even at low pressure, but it wouldn't be heavily carbonated.

Use argon to push it (works for still mead and wine too).

Otherwise if you must use c02, get larger ID lines so you can push it reasonably fast at 1 psi or so.

Or, really short tap line, like 1 foot, would need very little psi to dispense.

I tried it, use 1/4 line and as short as possible. Then use as little pressure as possible to get it to pour. Even after a couple weeks there was just a couple bubbles stuck to the glass after a pour. definetly not any carbonation you can notice.

What about taste? any carb bite to it?
