I have 9.5gal in 2 ball-lock corny kegs. Wondering if I can get a 2nd opinion on what I'm doing on my first time trying to ferment in kegs.
I have 2 ball-lock kegs with 4.5-4.75 gal of Sparky's Nut Brown Ale in each. I added 1 drop of Fermcap to each keg. I blasted with O2 and pitched a packet of Nottingham in each keg.
I have the gas-out on the 2 kegs with wort connected to a Tee, going to the beer side of a pin-lock keg. The gas side of that keg goes to the beer side of another pin-lock keg, with a Blow-Tie spunding valve on the gas side of the last keg. My thought is to purge the 2 empty kegs with natural CO2 from fermentation to get ready to transfer to them to serve out of. Does this make sense? Or should I connect everything differently?
I did give a shot of CO2 to the fermenting kegs to get them to seal up but since I just brewed and kegged, there's really no pressure yet. I think I'm supposed to keep the pressure to 3-5 PSI for a few days first, then crank it up to 12-15 PSI?
