Can i half fill a keg and carb it?

[Fendercaster]

Hi all,
I have done a small batch for my 1st AG brew, its only 8lts. i was going to bottle it but i really cannot be bothered ATM.
Am i able to put this in a Corny keg (19lt) and still charge it?
Is it the same process or less due to the volume?
Thanks in Advance

Yeah perfectly fine to half fill, purge the keg first, then fill carefully, and purge again.

Yep. Just purge it well before the beer goes in and burp it well after filling. You don't want that head space to be air.

edit: yes as said above etc ha...

Would it be the same time as a full keg?

Don't use Ross' Quick Carb Method. If you want to quick carb it with only half a keg, set your regulator to serving pressure and shake around. That'll be plenty to carb it up because of all the headspace.

Absolutely, as discussed purge with co2, fill, burp and then connect at serving.

For me I think it'll be quicker but some one can confirm with volume etc
