Corny Questions from a newbie

Post by windrider » Thu Jan 28, 2016 3:44 pm

Corny keg newbie here. I got a 9 litre baby corny for Christmas. I usually bottle, so looking forward to getting my first brew in the keg.

I have an IPA currently in the fermentor and planning on dry hopping. My usual method is to dry hop for a few days then crash chill (all in the primary) and bottle. I’m going to be splitting this batch (half bottles / half in the keg) so would this method still be okay or should I change it slightly? I’m guessing not transferring in to a secondary will just cause more sediment in the keg?

I’m also planning on getting a bigger corny next month. I usually do batches bigger than 19 litrs, so will split between the two. I have a dual guage regulator and planning on using a JG line splitter for the time being (they’ll be kept at the same pressure). Will this work okay seeing they vary in size?

Cheers,

On the first, do as normal and fill your cornie first.
On the 2nd as long as they are at the same pressure then the size doesn't matter. :shock:
