Hello. I have a question about filling into keykeg. The idea is to fill keykeg with premix sugar and beer for natural carbonation in keykeg. Can be these done just with filling keykeg with gravity help? I have also shurflo pump for transfering beer from non pressurized conical to bottling bucket. So can i just pump the beer into keykeg with max pressure of shurflo pump? Shurflo automatically shut off when max pressure is reached (2.4 bar). Do i need to release the pressure in keykeg before secondary fermentation starts?

I normaly add six grams of sugar per liter of wort when bottling. But in keykeg there is no head space. Can somebody explain me how are amount of sugar, keg pressure and amount of beer in keykeg with no headspace related? Or simple question, how much sugar must i add in fully filled keygeg (lets say that there is no starting pressure) for proper natural carbonation of an ale beer? lets say 2.5 volume carbonation. Thank you very much.

Denis
