So I recently brewed a 3G batch of IPA and I am trying out using a keg as a primary in hopes to keep aeration down once fermentation is done. It's been fermenting for almost a week now. Had decent (slower) fermentation bubbles in the air lock for about 48-72 hrs using us-05 yeast. My concern is that usually the kids on kegs don't deal complete unless they are pressurized correct? So, I didn't do this. I just pored the wort, aerated with oxygen and put the lid on with airlock. So, should I have pressured and purged with co2 once I put the lid on and then left it be, or do you think it would be ok???
