I've had a bit of trouble finding the information for this.
I've been homebrewing for a while - always bottling which I find to be a hateful task. I've decided to take the plunge and begin kegging.
That being said - what are the guidelines for priming kegged beer? Is it necessary to add sugar (corn, DME, etc.) for carbonation prior to racking as in bottles? If you're planning on force carbonating I would guess no, but what about letting it keg-condition? Do you purge the headspace if you're going to let it keg condition?
Thanks,
Andy
