Priming sugar in a polypin for beer engine?

Post by gobuchul » Tue Oct 24, 2017 12:56 pm

Just about to put a Landlord clone in a polypin.

It will be dispensed through a beer engine.

Is it worth putting a bit of sugar in for secondary and add a bit more sparkle?

Any thoughts?

I never use secondary. For a 20lt polypin I either add around 60-80gms or rack a couple of points above the FG. Both work well.

I batch prime and mix pins and bottles, I keep the pins "tap up" for a few days and let the pressure out when they blow up like footballs, then gently turn them "tap front" and leave them to condition normally.
