Hello everyone.
I transferred my brew from the fermentation vessel to my King Keg, adding 85g of spraymalt for priming. I plan to leave for at least two weeks. I did however try a very small glass after 24 hours, just to check that pressure was building correctly. All seemed fine but my question is: in trying a small sample, will I have negatively affected the two week process? Obviously some CO2 will have escaped but I’m hoping not enough to really affect the internal pressure. Am I right in thinking it will continue to produce CO2 for a little while anyway since I doubt the yeast will have completely finished off the spraymalt?
Thanks for your help in advance.
NB I’m very aware having read a lot about pressure barrels that they are prone to plenty of issues! Eventually I’m sure I’ll move over to cornies since it seems they’re more reliable but I’ll give it a go in the PB for now!
