This is kind of obvious, but it is something I just figured to do;
If you have an over carbed keg for any reason, just hook a jumper hose from gas port of overcharged keg to the one you are dispensing, as needed. Works very well.
Since the business that was the local Airgas dealer dropped that, it is kind of a pain to fill or exchange cylinders here, so even though I still have some, thinking of more way to conserve.
These three practices could in theory, almost eliminate need for bottled CO2:
Spunding, to carb beer w end of fermentation.
Using fermentation gas to purge kegs,
And now, using over spunded kegs to supply dispensing gas. I could see even over spunding on purpose as an emergency CO2 gas supply, should the need arise. Though I have to admit I did not over spund initial kegs on purpose.
I suppose one could even use spunding to put gas under mild pressure in empty keg for closed transfers and such. Will have to try that next.
