Only New to Kegging, ( just started drinking the 3rd.)
I won't be cutting my Tube down.
I may waste a little but hey there is a bit there.
When I brew I have the Fermenter Leaning back from the tap, when ready to keg, I'll pour a small glass to clear the Tap, Pour a stubbie full to try ( incase there are still a few floaties around the tap) fill the keg and bottle the remainder. I don't get to much sediment in the beer to start with this way.
The first keg was fairly cloudy for the first few glasses but did clear up nicely from about 1/2 way through,( but I was an eager beaver on this keg). It's still sealed won't remove the pressure till ready to use it again.
The 2nd was only a little bit cloudy on the first couple of glasses before it cleared. ( emptied it last night )
The 3rd appears to be working like the 2nd, Only a little bit cloudy ( but hasn't properly carbed up yet.)Tonight is only a few hours away
.
I wouldn't bother it appears the more you drink the clearer it gets.
Cheers
Ron
