Bottle and barrel

[ChrisG]

I would like to give some of my first brew to friends and family (as long as it tastes ok) but wondered it was ok to half the brew into 10 bottles then the rest into the pressure barrel.

I would add the priming sugar to the fermentation bin along with the beer finings and give it a gentle stir. Read somewhere that this is safe to do.

Any tips or things I must watch out for?

Thanks

This is what I plan to do with my first kit. I wanted to barrel it all but the nice lady in the shop said it did better in the bottles. So got a 2 gallon barrel and 12 1l bottles.
