  Re: priming vs. forced carbonation

  I've done both and still do.
  Th advantage to kegging is that people have to come here for freebies, I don't have to hunt down or replace bottles, and , so far, kegs don't explode. The other side is that I just bought 4 gasket sets because I have some leak somewhere eating my co2.
  I am curios about nitrogen and nitrogen mixes.

  I'm a big fan of forced carbonation mostly for control, I have some pale ales that I want to carbonate much more than some bocks, just for personal preference
  
  but I also find it much nicer to rack into a keg and push co2 in and drink the next day, than to keg, prime, hope it took and 2 weeks later open it to find no dice its still flat and just slightly sweeter
  
  I filter as I rack, then carbonate, and I have almost no sediment to deal with in the end

    I got a co2 system awhile ago but haven't experimented enough yet. Been way to busy (sad huh). I have trouble force carbonating it. My 3rd batch I primed it then when I tapped it with co2 it came out beautiful! I must be doing something wrong in the forced carbonation stage.
