when to keg wilko pilsner

[andybernygolly]

hi all im new to brewing and my wilko pilsner has been fermenting for 5 days the sg was 1040 and it now reads 1008 according to the instructions this is what im aiming for and that fermentation takes between 4-7days my question is when should i transfer to my balliihoo 5gallon pressure keg any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

think the best way is to leave it in the fv for two weeks. that will let the yeast drop out and the beer will be clearer. bottles or Cornie kegs is the way to go for lagers as barrels wont get the the level of carbonation that is required.

Agreed, bottle it. Kegs are fine for ales, but wont give nearly enough carbonation to a lager.
