Splitting 5-gal batch between keg and bottles

[Ben Mompier]

Just started fermentation on a 5 gallon batch. wondering if it is generally okay to split. I have a 3 gallon corny keg and then would bottle the rest?

Also do the priming sugars scale down? for example the kit I made this with comes with 5 oz of priming sugar so could I just use 2 oz for the 2 gallons I want to bottle and then carb the keg with CO2?

Should be fine. Should also check out a bottle priming calculator, though - may not want/need the 2 oz (especially if you have a volume that is actually less than 2 gallons).

You get to compare the draft version to bottle conditioned, sounds like fun! Def check out the priming calculator^. If you have exactly 2 gallons and are aiming for 2.5 volumes CO2, 2 oz corn sugar should do it. There are also calculators for keg carbonation.

I do that a lot. I'll brew 7 gallons: keg 5 bottle 2. I just add my priming sugar right to the bottles then fill them.

I brew 2 to 2.5G batches and at bottling time I add a Domino Dot sugar cube to each bottle and fill.

Have any of you tried kegging and bottling after carbing in a conical? Found a couple posts on how to, curious on possible issues.

I do it everytime. Can't think of any downsides besides equipment cost . Cheers
