Looking at doing natural carbing in c-kegs and looking at using SPUNDING VALVES. Anybody have pros/cons to using this method? The way I understand through my reading is that (joe proof breakdown version...lol): 1. You finish 2 to 5 points higher than you FG. 2. Rack to c-keg...

Pineapple Wine SG: 1.040 FG: 1.000 Aged 5 months before bottling. Now we will give it a little more time to condition in the bottle. This is going to make a great sipping/snacking wine for a Spring weekend in TX! Sad that the wine is clearer than the wine glass!
