Corn Sugar for Kegging
« on: December 31, 2015, 02:10:20 pm »
Came across this today in Zymurgy...why would someone put corn sugar in a keg? Is this in place of force carbonation?

Yes, priming in the keg is common. You want to use less as total volume of a keg, including headspace is less than the total volume of 50 or so bottles. I think most I've seen opt for 1/2

It isn't "real ale" if you force carbonate it.  English styles are more apt to be primed with sugar in the keg.
