So I just bought my first keg, and a pressure fermentor for good measure.
I was going to keg the current lager batch to free up the fermenting fridge so I can put down a fresh brew on the weekend. Problem is there's a delay on the CO2 tank, might not happen until next week.
Am I ok to rack the brew into the keg anyway and purge the headspace when the CO2 arrives next week? Or better off leaving the lager in primary on an extended d-rest, out of the fridge?
I was going to force carb but I guess the other option is to throw some priming sugar in the keg and let it make it's own CO2.
