I brew small batches 2 1/2 - 3 gallons. I recently brewed a citra pale ale that yielded 2 gallons and was fairly cloudy. Once kegged and carbonated it tasted good and had a little haze to it. I only had a couple pints and saved the rest for a Father's day BBQ - so it was in the chest freezer for 2 more weeks at 38 degrees F. On BBQ day I put the keg in a cooler, hooked up a mini regulator with a 16g cartridge. I carried the cooler to a neighbors house two houses away. There was tons of foam and whatever sediment that was at the bottom of the keg mixed in and never settled the whole day. In fact it took 2-3 days for it to settle.
Is there a better way to move a keg to avoid this type of issue or was it just the case that this particular batch had a lot of sediment? I'll be traveling again soon with the keg and this time it will be a few hours drive.
