Got a corny with around 15L of beer left that I want to swap to bottles. How is best to do this? I force carbed the beer at around 20 PSI for a week. Considering purging the co2 from the keg and letting the beer warm, bringing the co2 out of the beer. Then I guess purge again then bottle the remaining? This sound right?

Not sure why you are making it so complicated.
At the moment you have carbonated beer.
I suggest that you:
1. Chill down the Corny Keg to just above freezing.
2. Chill down the bottles in the freezer.
3. Fill the bottles from the Corny Keg (leaving a decent sized air gap) and cap them as soon as possible.
4. Allow the bottled beer to warm up to drinking temperature.
Most of the CO2 that was in solution when the beer was in the Corny Keg should still be in the beer in the bottle. :thumb:

I bottled at normal kegarator temps to swing top bottles, pour slowlycap when full, perfect.
That is interesting! Carbonation stayed the same once you opened the bottle?

Yes pretty much, I think a slow pour down the edge of the bottle, creating as little head as possible, I suppose it depends on your dispensing arrangemnts (tap) I am on those party taps.
