Ready to rack to Corny

[PEACOCKSUIT]

I'm ready to rack my Wherry to my new corny keg. I don't have a gas supply yet so I'm not sure what to do. It been fermenting for over 10 day's and the gravity won't lessen any more so I don't want to leave it much longer.

Will it be OK to leave in the FV for another few days until my regulator arrives and I can get the gas, or would it be better to try and get it kegged now and just prime it?

Cheers.

I have done 3 Wherry kits now and each one was in the FV for 3 weeks - I tend to do this period in the FV for most brews and each Wherry was a great brew.

I haven't tried it but I cannot think why you couldn't keg it and gas it later - I am sure it would be fine but someone else will be sure to say on this site.

Cheers mate. Puts my mind at rest .

Il probably just wait now then till I get the gas.

Still interested to hear any more ideas though.

I've got 2 cornies, a king keg and loads of bottles so I mix and match. When I use the cornies I brew as normal in the fv for 14 days then rack into another fv or an old keg which no longer holds pressure. I leave it to clear in there for 2 or 3 weeks then rack into the cornie and force carb to the level I want. I squirt a bit of co2 into rue keg/fv each time I rack to prevent oxidising the brew. There's no reason why you couldn't rack straight into your cornie and let it clear, you would probably get a bit of sediment for the first pint or two and the lid would not seal without force carbing, but it might be better than leaving it on the must for to long.

Hope this helps, Ive only been brewing just over a year and so I've learnt from my many mistakes!
