priming keg of lager

Post by truemay » Sat Feb 11, 2012 12:32 pm

I'm away to prime my keg of lager.
It's a Canadian blonde.
I'm not expecting it to be as fizzy as bottled lager but would it be worth upping the amount of priming sugar in my king keg from my normal 85g of sugar to maybe 100 gms to make it slightly fizzier.

Hi mate

You cant really have a true lager fizz in a keg as it wont hold the pressure, so if you are prepared for a less than fizzy lager go for it. You wont get that super cold lager eithe unless you have a fringe to put it in.

You may be able to get to around 100g of sugar, but I tend to go towards 200g for lager and bottle it!

hope that helps!

Cheers
