Cornies - to prime or not to prime?

[molc]

I wonder whether there would be enough Co2 to serve the entire keg? I have primed a 5 litre mini keg a few times before and it only would have enough pressure to serve about 40% before I have had to resort to Co2 bulbs.

Aye, exactly what I was googling just right there. Would love to know.

OH well, once the kegs arrive, I'll give it the good ould fashioned test

Beer would be overcarbed if you add too much priming sugar, so there's no point trying to serve the whole keg on it.
That's my experience with plastic keg and the co2 bullets.
Priming with sugar still saves few $$$ on co2 bill

I'd say you would have to add the plastic tubing before you put it in the keg, as could be tricky to do it afterwards!

If you can get your hand into the keg it's easy enough as long as you lay the keg on its side and only insert the end of the tube into the keg. I'd no choice as the plastic tubing was was bigger than the dip tube.

Ah yes, I get you now.
