Hay everyone!
Sort of a dumb question. Some parks do not allow glass bottles, so could I open and empty like a case or so of bottle beer into a corny keg with CO2? Or would it get over carbonated? Just wondering! :rolleyes:

thanks,

Dave

It can be done. I once had a bottled batch not carbonate, so I fillied my corny with CO2 and kept the regulator on low as to continue over-filling the keg. I then carefully poured each bottle into the keg. I remembered to sanitize everything, even the outside of the bottles.

No matter how careful you are, there is always a chance for oxidation so my advice for you would be to:
1. Get a bottle coozy.
2. Buy a corny full of your favorite micro.

Good luck,
