So basically your fermenting in a bucket and once done transferring the beer to the Keg to continue clearing/developing before you drink it, rather than letting it clear for weeks and then putting in Keg? So when the Keg is empty there may still be just be a layer of sediment?
What I'm trying to ask I suppose is are you using the extra kegs as final clearing vessels for the beer prior to just connecting them up to the gas to finally drink the beer?
I follow you up to 'I then disconnect the gas off the tap (mfl screw on connection) and connect my auto syphon to the liquid out connector' - what are you doing here ?
Sorry if I'm sounding thick, it's just new to me as always used bottles and would sooner be clear in my mind.
Yeah, i'm usually drinking it a week after its been kegged. Still a little green but it soon smooths out. Photo below of an empty keg
I use my autosyphon to transfer into out port on the keg, that way it runs down the long tube into the bottom of the keg and you get minimal splashing and also its going into a keg full of co2
Oxygen is really bad for you beer, the least contact it has and the least amount of splashing and bubbles the better.
I can take some photos of how I do it if you want, there are plenty of other ways thou. This will give you the idea http://scottjanish.com/oxygen-free-racking-homebrew-keg/
