But to the OP's topic, the greater majority of that bottle or can packaging is not bottle conditioned. Most is packaged off the bright tank.

A nice batch of peppers (Jalapeno, Serrano, Scotch Bonnet, Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper) plus some tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and radishes so far... Plus a blackberry bush!

Closed transfer into a CO2 purged keg is the key here...

Personally, I think kegged beer tends to taste better. I also think a lot of this depends on the beer. My brother and I regularly brew together; I keg mine and he bottles his. All from the same wort. When he shares a bottle with me, there's some off-putting flavor that I don't get with the...

I'd LOVE to participate if I'm not too late... Pool season is here!

+1 to not worrying about it. If you do have a clarity issue later, you can always fine with gelatin.

Fair enough, but definitely on the lower end. OG:1.054 and FG:1.009 lands you just shy of 6%. Don't get me wrong, its nice to be able to enjoy 3 beers and not be trashed. That's what I mean by "more of" a session IPA. Translated; more sessionable!

So more of a "Session IPA" huh?

Yeast?

The last keg in the line is my dedicated storage keg. So it does stay in the last keg. :mug:

So I can re-use the Star-San. I typically clean and sanitize multiple kegs at a time so its actually being pushed into other clean kegs before finally finding its way back to the storage keg. Star-San can be kept and used a long time this way; why waste it?

Actually it doesn't with a normal dip-tube. This is how I (and many others) sanitize and purge our kegs. After washing the keg, I then close it up and push (with CO2) a full 5G of Star-San into it from another keg that I store the sanitizer in. I then push it out (with CO2) and back into the...

@MikeCo @mac_1103 What about during the CO2 purging process where you are pushing Star-San into an empty keg? I'd think that would have to generate a lot of Star-San foam... No?

QUESTION for the folks with these things... Do ya'll do closed transfers with these things in the keg? Any issues at all during the fill? With a standard dip-tube, the beer comes in at the bottom. But with one of these, it would be floating up as the beer level rises. Guessing this may not...
