Transferring growler beer to my keg?
« on: January 29, 2017, 11:42:42 am »
I just set up a kegerator system not too long ago so I can force carb my home brew and I was curious when I was given a few growlers from a friend. Is there a problem with transferring the growler beer into my keg and having it on draft? Thoughts/opinions?

In my experience, doing so will encourage the beer to stale faster. Plus, you'd lose carbonation, though I suppose you could re-carb it in the keg.

I think you'd be better off just drinking the growlers.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.
