I have been bottling for a while, but a short while back bought a Corny keg and lines and gas etc.
The question is..... if I have a brew that is approaching FG, as in OG was 1.053 and I'm expecting 1.010 to finish, can I lightly crash as it's already beginning to clear, and let the last 10 points of fermentation finish in the keg?
I'm making the assumption that the final bit of work will not produce any significant CO2 pressure, and also the keg has a blow-off valve, and I'd be force carbing anyway.
I'm wondering whether this would hold any benefits for avoiding oxidisation, if I purge the keg when filled?
Currently I'm 6 days in from yeast pitch and down to 1.020. I would chill a little, transfer, CO2 purge, and then continue for another week at room temp, then cold crash and force carb.
Are there good reasons NOT to do this? Or is this an acceptable procedure?
