Corne keg help

[Oliver85j]

Hey everyone,
I've tried my best researching on my iPad but I'm struggling so thought I'd just ask the question. What's the best way of doing a milestone black pearl so as to be dispensed from a corne keg?
Ie: do you not bother priming with fermentable's as you would in a plastic barrel for secondary?
As I understand after first ferment id transfer to barrel to clear for a couple of weeks then transfer to corne keg and pressurise with co2 or nitrogen? Also how long and what pressure for a stout?
Sorry for the 99 questions it's my first post and as mentioned iPad is driving me crackers navigating the site.
Thanks in advance Oli:thumb:

Hey Oliver
No priming required if you are using co2 or nitrogen. Depends how quick you want it carbonated. I start with 20psifor about 4/5 days then crank it back to serving pressure usually about 6 psi. that's my twopence worth.

Patch

Hey Patch,
Thanks for your speedy response, that's very helpful. So the level of carbonation I'd imagine is directly linked to how many days you keep your brew under high pressure co2/nitrogen?
I'd be as we'll to leave it 24hrs, purge the keg and drop pressure to around 6 psi and give it a test?

Where did you get the kit from? I am wanting to go down this route myself.
