Chill the serving keg before filling from bright tank?

Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:36 am

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
You can do things the right way or the wrong way.
Or you can do it MY way...which is like the wrong way, only faster.

It doesn't matter. It's more important to sanitize thoroughly and purge with CO2.
