transferring form Corney to Scotty

[BrewerBC]

Thanks everyone. I got it working now.

I feel the receiving keg as it fills since I transfer very cold beer. Just slow down as you get to the last few inches by not using the bleed valve as much. It may form condensate but you will certainly feel the cold vs. not cold.

I have a grey gas in QD connected to a couple feet of line with a small ball valve on the end. Same setup, only I use the ball valve to regulate the fill speed instead of periodically burping the receiving keg. Totally hands-off. I put a few feet of line on it so I can drape it into a bucket or sink. When the receiving keg is full it starts to come out the line/ball valve and I can catch the overflow before it makes a mess - plus the first little bit of overflow is foam, I'll let it go for a couple seconds just to ensure a completely full keg. I've used the same process at both pro breweries I've worked at.

3) Next, purge all the Air out of the Scotty by filling with C02 and releasing the valve.
Do this for several iterations to remove all the air.

If you're a cheap bastard like me, this can waste quite a bit of CO2. An easy check is to pop the scotty/corney cover open while you purge out the air. CO2 is heavier and will stay inside the keg. Use a black product connector to purge gas so it fills from the bottom. It only takes 5-7 seconds of gas at 10ish psi.

To test whether the air is purged, light a butane BBQ starter put it lit into the top area of the keg just inside where the cover would be. If keg/scotty is full of CO2 the flame goes out. Use good sanitation spray star san etc. on all the parts involved.

This technique also works well if you like to flood carboys prior to fermentation to minimize risk of infection.
