Hi everyone,
So, technically I'm not a kegger as yet, because my keezer setup is not finished. I have purchased all of the parts and they will be on their way to me over the next fortnight or so. However, in the meantime, I have 2 brews that have just finished primary (14 days and 21 days respectively) that I was either going to:
a) bottle, or;
B) prime in keg
I can't just keg them normally, as I don't have a gas setup to purge them.
I have searched google a thousand times for a keg priming calculator to no avail. I've even just searched the topic and it had come up a few times on here, but no real definitive answer. A lot of people recommended 50% of the sugar required for bottling, but I wanted something more definitive than that.
So does anyone know of a keg priming calculator in existence? I have an IPA and a SMASH ready to go, both of which I'd like about 2.4 volumes of CO2.
Also, does the sugar have to be diluted in boiled water? Or if I'm just putting it all in the keg, can I just fill the keg and dump the dextrose on top?
