Conditioning

[Chicken Dipper]

If I prime and condition in a king keg then bottle bright, does this mean that the shelf life is massively reduced?

I'd expect that to actually extend shelf life as you'll have very little yeast in the bottle. (I'm assuming you're intending to bottle the beer already carbonated rather than repriming in the bottle).

Thanks Jim.

IF you can manage to bottle below co2 and avoid o2 and oxidation.

adding a tube to reach the bottle bottom to the tap should enable u to pour the beer with the eascaping co2 blanketing it in the bottle as u fill from the bottom up.

chilling the pb will help retain more condition in the beer as u may find its a bit flat after bottling.

Cheers Fil, interesting point re chilling
