Bruce Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Ok, my lager is just about finished, and I\xb4m gonna keg it. The FAQ says that I must prime it with sugar 3g per liter. Put it in the keg and purge the headspace with CO2 I was wondering do I have to purge it right away or can I leave it for a week and than purge it. Because I have not gotten a CO2 tank. What does happen if I just prime it with the 3gr of sugar per liter and close the keg and let it sit for two weeks like we do when bottling.

PB2 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 You can get away with not purging the headspace of the keg. I don't purge. Yeast is an oxygen scavenger - it will mop up any oxygen while consuming the priming sugar. Purging is important if you are cold conditioning and force carbonating.
