- Clean, sanitise and purge keg with CO2.
(The purge allows checking the keg for leaks before filling) - Hook up beer line to keg out post allowing excess sanitiser in the keg to pour out and release any pressure in the keg.
- Once the CO2 slows to a stop attach to fermenter.
- Remove beer line from keg.
- Attach beer line to 750ML PET bottle with carbonator cap.
- Fill PET bottle from fermenter. This step gives me an immediate taster, ensures oxygen is purged and keeps those first tap floaties out of the keg.
- Once PET is full open pressure relief valve on the keg, wait for any remaining pressure to empty, and attach beer line from the fermenter.
- Quickly carbonate taster to drink while you wait for the keg to fill.
- Clean, sanitise and purge keg with CO2.

Thanks, I found this very informative and now use this method. I would warn that for very hoppy beers, the beer post/disconnect can very easily get blocked with hop matter.
