I want to use a spunding valve for pressure fermentation. Here was my plan:
1. Add my wort and yeast to my first keg
2. Connect the gas posts of the fermentation keg to the gas post on the empty keg
3. Attach my spunding valve to the liquid out post of the second empty keg
My idea is that the gas from fermentation will purge my second keg. The excess gas will escape the liquid out post with the spunding valve.
My question is, will this work? Since the keg with the beer is only connected to the top keg with the gas post it will be hard for the beer to travel up. Even if it does, it would have to do it again in the second keg then push through the spunding valve. Do you think this plan would work or should I just put the spunding valve on my first keg and transfer later?
The obvious benefit is basically no co2 is needed besides a small amount for serving pressure. The fermentation gas will carbonate and purge the second keg.
