hey guys,
I'm looking at getting into kegging and have a question about storing beer in them.
I have a 19L cornie (ball lock) keg that was given to me for free from my mates dad. It's had the new seals and everything done and apparently holds pressure.
I have a batch of Dr Smurto's golden ale in the fermenter at the moment that is ready to bottle but wanted to ask the guru's on here if it it's possible to transfer my batch across into my new keg until i can afford the other equipment? (yes getting paid monthly may just be the worst f*cking thing in existence).
Of course there's a big issue with oxidation and so on, so my question is could i buy one of those keg chargers and a co2 bulb to remove excess air out of the keg (i know those bulbs can't carbonate) so it could be stored until i get my remaining keg setup or is that not possible?
Some of you might say 'just leave it in the fermenter until you get all your gear' but i'm planning to do a brew this weekend so i'm gonna need that damn fermenter :lol:
Apologies if this is a really stupid question but i haven't seen any similar posts about it and wanted to know if its feasible or not.
thanks heaps,
Josh
