So most beer calculators say to prime 1 ga beer to 2.3 volumes you use .75 ounce corn sugar. Thats for bottles. One half of that is .4 ounce Thats for a keg. ( plus a little)They say half as much roughly.
Now if you have a 1.75 ga keg you have headroom. But if you purge the headroom with bottled CO2
to 30 psi a couple times and then leave 30 psi in the keg you can forget about the headspace problem
,yes??? then 2 week condition.
what do you think??
I think I understand the question about filling the head space with CO2, but if you are force carbing with 30 PSI, why add the priming sugar to carbonate?
I assume you are purging the head space with CO2 then removing the supply? If so that will work fine. Prime the keg, give it a couple of shots of CO2 and either pull the relief valve on ball lock kegs or remove the gas in fitting and depress the poppet on pin lock kegs. The O2 is lighter than CO2 so it will blow out. You really don’t need 30lbs though.
For priming amounts this is very helpful http://www.northernbrewer.com/learn/res … alculator/
yes I meant just gassing then releasing. I guess I will do 20 lbs.
The online calcs dont do kegs and take headroom into account…
anyway so .45 ounce is good…??
