I'm about to assemble a kegerator, and I have a stout that didn't carbonate quite as well as I'd like. I still have ~40 bottles left. Is there any reason I couldn't uncap it, pour it back into a carboy, and transfer it to a keg to carb?
Adding bottles to kegs?

Aside from the oxidation such a maneuver invariably entails?
At least pour the bottles (as gently as possible) down the inside of the keg and skip one more O2 exposure.
Maybe even fill the keg with CO2 first, though I don't know if that'd actually mitigate some of the damage.
On the up side, at least it's a stout. Less prone to revealing oxidation damage than, say, an APA...
Cheers!
