First time kegging, what do i do?

[homebrewkid]

I have a coopers pale ale kit in the fermenter @18°c today is day 8.

I would usually bottle today, well yesterday actually, sometimes id bottle after 2 weeks in primary. but was wondering what if anything i need to do differently for kegging.

Cheers, HBK.

First has it finished fermentation, if it has Id crash chill the fermenter to 2 deg for 5 to 7 days to clear it up. Then transfer it to the keg.
I'm sure a lot more experienced brews will have some more or slight different tips

I'd keg it, put in your kegerator and chill it there.

Just try it, you can't muck it up too badly. If you keg it without crashing it first, you might get a bit more yeast in your keg than otherwise, but your first glass should pick most of this up off the bottom of the keg and then you'll be right.
