You might want to have a look at this thread for some information.

How would you refill the keg and carbonate it?

 

[oz11]

Remove the top bung and fill it through there. It carbonates in the same as way as a bottle, but you can use a tap with CO2 cartridge if you want to keg it bright and carbonate it that way.

Even though the tap is at the bottom?
Do you not get sediment through and also im assuming you have to drink it all in one go as the carbonation will drop out and air will be drawn in spoiling the beer!

I've never noticed much sediment, maybe a little in the first half pint, but I tend to use Fuller's yeast which packs down nicely.

Providing the keg can be finished within 3 days the beer is okay, 4 days maybe, any more than that is pushing it. They hold around 8-9 pints which is manageable :drink:
