Just after some opinions, my lovely wife has just bought me 2 5 litre dark farm kegs with all the taps etc. I've filled one with some beer and about 15g of brewing sugar which I them plan to fix the tap to and use the Co2 capsule to dispense. Is this the best way to do it? Or on my next one due in a few days should I just put it in the keg and force carbonate it when I'm ready for drinking? Thanks very much. Cheers 🍻
 
I just use the co2 bulbs to dispense as it will cost a fortune to force carbonate with them. I manage to dispense a 5l keg using one bulb.

I batch prime in the bottling bucket as normal and keg half into two 5l kegs and bottle the rest. I then let it carbonate for a couple of weeks before drinking.

I would only force carbonate the kegs if I could attach a soda stream or gas bottle.
