I'm wondering whether or not it's possible to install a tap (like the one in a fermenter) into the bottom of a corny keg, cool it to near 0c, pressurise it to 2-3 volumes of co2, and then bottle it with a 'blue bottler' (same as if I was bottling from the fermenter).
At this temp a lot of CO2 will be in the liquid, and I am hoping I would not lose too much during the bottling process. So obviously I'm relying on gravity + keg pressure to fill the bottles. I suspect they would fill quite quickly.
Why not just keep it in the keg? I may at some point. For the time being I want to bottle it though I'm trying to make sweet sparkling mead. Bottle conditioning simply does not work (at least if you want it to be sweetened with honey). I also am hoping I can get away with just a soda stream CO2 cannister. They don't have a lot in them, and from what I've read I the soda stream would last about twice as long without using it for dispensing.
Would this work?
Cheers.
