Priming a corny keg - temperature

[mickc]

By way of a change I was thinking of priming my bitter by adding sugar to the keg. I usually cold crash, keg, and transfer the keg straight to the fridge. My question is; will the yeast get to work at no more than 8°, or should I stand the keg at ambient temperature for a while? Thanks.

It will need to be ambient, also you need to make sure the lid is sealed as it normally needs positive pressure to seal.

Thanks for that! I can always inject a bit of CO2 to seal it.

My answer was just...

Nope

Thats what I do, then purge any air with a couple of blasts on the PRV.
