Been a bit of a numpty and while transferring a Kolsch from my conditioning keg to a serving keg, I dumped the priming solution (intended for a new batch to be put in the conditioning keg) into the serving keg and transferred the beer on to it, via an Out to Out connection. Only after feeling smug about my oxygen free transfer to purged keg etc.. the penny dropped and I realised what I'd done. I've tried the Kolsch and it looks lovely, tastes nice, is crystal clear and nicely carbonated. The only thing is a hint of sweetness that seems to take the edge of it crispness.
From cold crash via conditioning to transfer to serving keg has been about 4 weeks. It is currently sitting at 6 degrees celsius..
The question is, do I let it sit and call it a 'Dessert' Kolsch or is it worth warming the keg up and trying to convert the sugar?
