I force carbonated the beer at 40 psi for about a week and that really made my stout taste great. However, I would love to bottle some of my stout so that I can age it and keep it for a later date. Can I bottle from my kegged beer? What do I need to know to be effective? Thanks. Last Edit: 2008/02/10 13:19 By pmm186.

If you're carbing the beer to 40 psi for a week you will absolutely have overcarbed beer, unless it's stiiting at about room temp. My keg fridge is at 42 degrees and I keep about 11 psi on the beer. I can't believe that with 40 on it you got anything but foam. How do you dispense?

My basement about 60 degrees F, and then when it was time to hook the beer up to my kegerator, I first bleed off the pressure to about 10 psi. The above picture is the beer straight from the tap. Have you ever bottled from a keg? Do you recommend giving it a shot?

My understanding is that it fills the bottle with CO2 at the keg pressure, so that when you fill the bottle it doesn't foam up, since it's moving from a pressurized environment to a pressurized environment. For example Good luck bottling your kegged brews.
