Transfer to pressure barrel

[cookie1433]

Hi guys, new to this. So I've just transferred a golden ale from the fermenter with a little spray malt to my pressure barrel. Now do I leave it as it is whist conditioning or do I add gas to the barrel whilst it's conditioning?? Any advice would be great.
Many thanks Matt. (UK)

I assume you are using a pin or firkin, in which case with the added malt extract it should carbonate on it's own. How much did you add?

Thanks. It is a pin top barrel. And I added half a tea spoon per pint. It's a 40 pint kit. So I'm hoping all will be good. Fingers crossed ay. Just looking forward to get to drink it now 👍

I would think you added close to 69 grams (2.4 oz) of malt extract. That should get you close to 1.5/1.6 volumes of CO2, which I think is appropriate for a cask beer.
