Bottling from a king keg

[gullarm]

I barrelled some John Bull Bavarian lager - used a KK - on the 15th of June.

Now I understand the carbonation in a KK will never be high enough for lager but after some mods to my keg I got it up to 20 psi and using a jockey box got a decent pint from it , but all the faff it takes to get it out at the right temp and with no foam means I really cant be arsed any more. Seems too hit and miss for my liking.

There is around 20-25 pints in there waiting to be drunk. Can I bottle this lager? Will there still be enough yeast floating around to work with a bit of sugar, or if there isnt how much yeast per 500ml bottle will work.

From now on Im sticking with stout in my KK.

Yes, you could bottle your lager, however if you only have 20-25 pints left I wouldn't bother personally. Put this one down to experience & bottle your next lager.

Disturbing your lager now runs the risk of oxidising the brew & picking up an infection, not worth the risk in my opinion.

Use firefox with the spell checker addon works wonders. ( hope that helps )
