My cousin is management-level sales with Coca Cola. He brought me (6) pin lock kegs at a fantastic price...free! All are clean inside with just a few stickers on the outside and all hold pressure. I have always bottled, but am ready to keg and have all the lines, fittings, tank and regulator. One of the kegs has a manual release in the lid but the others are standard pin lock lids.
My question is about purging the head space with CO2 on the kegs without the manual release. Can I put the CO2 in through the liquid side (by setting up a line with the correct liquid side fitting to the regulator) and the purge though the gas side? My thinking is that by doing this I wouldn't have to apply CO2, remove the line, purge, refit the CO2 line and repeat.
Just a thought.....
