    Mini kegs priming

    Hi I am new to brewing and have only done 4 kits so far. I have been using 500ml PETA bottles and priming them as per the intructions. I have just bought 4 x 5ltr mini kegs with a CO2 system with a Tap. My question is should I still prime the keg or is the CO2 enough ? Thanks Dave
