Corney Keg Priming

[Padraic]

So I'm planning on getting my act together and waiting on the tap bulk buy to get my corney's on the go.

I'm just wondering if I prime them up in the keg and let them carbonate naturally will that do the job? Or am I better off sticking to my minikegs and waiting until I have the equipment to extract my beer from the corney?

You can do that but you will be sucking up that yeast with the dip tube for quite some time.

USE THE FORCE (carbonation)

I always prime my cornies, started doing it for the same reason after the last group buy Padraic, and never changed.
Dont notice yeast to be honest.

I'm left with a 20c size clean spot around the dip tube

The 1st couple of times I didnt have any co2 so yes they did 
I now purge the headspace and top up with co2.

I did add a 2c coin under both legs of the lid closer when I had no gas

The idea of priming is pretty sound in my book - it will also tidy any nasty oxygen hanging around.

There is probably a little merit in priming with 1/4 or 1/5 dextrose level -so you get the yeast doing a tidy and you don't have too much sludge.

Tube - my last two kegs were superb - so I dont need to do the nasty co2 top up to seal them.
