Hey all:
This is my first post on HBT so please forgive any newbie mistakes
I have just brewed a 10 gallon batch of a chocolate nut brown ale (looks and smells fantastic)! This is also going to be the first batch that I keg (using a 15.5 gallon sanke). So here are my questions:
1) I was thinking about doing my secondary right in the keg. Is there any problem with putting 10 gallons in a 15.5 gallon keg (too much head space etc..)?
2) I'm assuming I can fix my first problem by putting CO2 into the keg. Is there any problem pressurizing the keg during secondary?
3) If I do put CO2 in during the secondary, is there any particular level of pressure? I was thinking about just doing it at 10psi or
4) Could I force carb right away (at 30psi) and then just let it sit for a month?
Thanks!
