Hi brew gang
I have had a look through the search function to try and find an answer, but I have not been successful. So here goes...
In my limited brewing experience, I have been using a bucket FV, siphoning into primed bottles to condition, then drink after suitable time. So far so good (apart from when the beer runs out)
My dad has given me a plastic keg that he has requested be filled with beer. It has a tap on it. So I am planning to ferment in my bucket FV, then transfer the beer into this keg (complete with priming solution) for it to condition, then he can draw straight from this keg for drinking.
Before I go any further, this is an OK plan, right? No problems with doing this?
Anyway, my question is this.
Does this keg need an airlock?
I am currently assuming no, going on the basis that bottles with beer conditioning in them do not have airlocks either. I know this may be a simple question, but best to be sure.
