Chill the serving keg before filling from bright tank?

[Fred69]

I'm just starting to use a conry with shortened dip tube ("you said DIP tuuuube") as a bright tank. My question is should I get the empty serving keg down to the same temp as my bright tank (30-40F) before I transfer (closed transfer) or does it not matter as the cold beer will will quickly chill the room temp corny down?

Cheers

When I've done this, I've never bothered.

FWIW, you can keep the beer with the shortened dip tube at your primary serving vessel. All the protein and yeast will settle to the bottom and the dip tube will pickup clear beer. That's been what I've been doing lately with no ill effects. There's more yeast in the bottom of bottle conditioned beers, and we age some of those for years.
