Does anyone ever transfer and then crash their keg vs crashing in primary and then transferring? Any benefits in doing this other than less traub in the keg?If you do crash in the keg, do you need any type of gas pressure on it?
pours clear till you bump or otherwise jiggle the keg
Another +1 for crashing in keg while I carb. After a couple days I'll fine with gelatin or Biofine (for styles I want crystal clear).

I just like to give it a day or two to let the beer hit serving temp then add the fining.

I just like to give it a day or two to let the beer hit serving temp then add the fining. I guess I don't see why it wouldn't work if you add it at kegging and then allow it to crash. It mixes in when racking the beer on top of it. But I don't know...maybe it settles out and is worthless then...
I've read in several places that it's more effective on chill haze when the chill is actually present (ie., cold temps). I don't know, but it noticeably works better to me when the beer is cold first.
