I am planning a fishing trip to the swains ( Gladstone QLD) with some mates and have been told the boat has beer taps (or 1 tap) onboard.
Others who have been before just took normal 50 cartons of megaswill needed for the week....
The suggestion came up about taking some kegs.... 4 x 50L or so
Major issue for me is making a megaswill they will all enjoy and making it CLEAR (not cloudy from yeast) as i reckon the kegs will get stirred up by the movement of the boat and the mates will want clear megaswill.
will there also be a froth issues when serving from half full kegs getting shaken a bit ?
it's a 80 foot boat i am told...
question 1 if i get the standard type filter from CB etc will it solve the yeast issue ?
can i then expect clear beer without the yeast issues of a moving boat ?
at home i normally cold crash a week and then just fill the keg and let it settle in the fridge the 1st few are cloudy
i was looking at the idea of natural carbing in some 50L kegs with shortened dip tubes and then pushing the beer out though the filter and into either corney or some other 50's
Question 2 can i filter / transfer carbonated room temp beer ? using this type of method

or does it need to be cold ?
i should be able store the finished kegged beer in a coldroom but
the beer will also have to travel unrefrigerated to the boat about a 6hr drive in a trailer ....
am i mad and should we just buy beer ?
