Pressure barrelles

[ennordagr8]

Can I re rack from one barrel to another as I have a prob with my barrel ?? If so have I got to prime the barrel for CARBINATION ??

Usually in pressure barrels you are running at very low pressure, so opening the barrel shouldn't be an issue. Transfer slowly without splashing (run the hose to the bottom of the barrel), and you shouldn't lose much carbonation. If you can chill the full barrel first, then it'll lose even less.

But you can also reprime, as the pressure relief valve will limit the carbonation to the equilibrium level for the set pressure and temperature.

the built in pressure relief valves on most kegs are ~130psi
