cornies

[Mark1964]

Were getting some cornies tomorrow whats the best way to clean them do you lubricate any parts etc and before you put beer in them do you prime like a barrel and how much co2 do you inject and when. :thumb:

Clicky 1

You can prime if you want to and your keg is likely to be staying in one place. You still get a sediment, waste the first half pint pulled and then within another pint or two you should be drawing clear beer.

The beauty of the Corny system is that you can keg clear beer, force carbonate, and take your kegs to parties etc.

Do a forum search on force carbonating, I gas mine to 25psi and serve around 3psi.

How do you know when its gassed to 25psi is it on the regulator

 

[Moley]

Yes, when the needle points to 25



But seriously, where are you getting your kegs from, collecting or being delivered? Can you ask for a run through, or pick the brains of the vendor?
