Hi,
I've made up a youngs bitter kit and it has been in the barrel now for 2 weeks (Fermentation took 6 days).
I added finings about 3 days ago.
Should it be ok to drink with the finings only going in 3 days ago?
Also I got a C02 injector, its one that injects a whole cartridge in one go. Would i have to wait until it was almost 1/2 empty to chance a whole catridge, might it not shatter the barrel?
Thanks

It could be ready to drink but i would leave it another week(have a little taster though
).
The keg should have enough pressure to serve nearly half of the keg(depending how quick you drink the beer),then use the gas cartridge,i assume you have a sparklet type co2 bulb which have about 8g of gas,it is designed to inject the bulb in one hit so your keg shouldn't shatter
