I know this has probably been asked 100 times. But I have searched and cannot find a good primer on kegging.
This weekend I will keg my first 10 gallon AG batch and I really don't want to screw it up.
I have two kegs and all of the parts and I have figured out how to disassemble, clean and sanitize them.
Now I need a plan for filling them and pressurizing them.
I have read a lot of threads about closed vs. open and forced carb vs. connect it and be patient etc.
What I need to know is exactly how to fill the keg and seal it up and pressurize it.
Can I just rack the beer into the open keg and then purge the oxygen out of the keg? Or do I need to purge the keg of oxygen before I put the beer in?
I know this is a dumb question but my beer tastes so good I just want to do this right.
