question about keg priming

Post by saosborne » Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:13 am

looking for a little advise, made an ipa about 2 1/2 months ago, kegged it about 2 weeks ago, o2 was purged but no room in the kegerator to put it on gas. thinking im going to prime it in the keg. the keg has been at roomtemp for the last 2 weeks wondering if i need to repitch yeast or if the yeast should still be viable.

I can't speak to the yeast. However you will need to use approx. 6-6.5 tablespoons of dextrose.

you should be ok....use half the amount of sugar as you would with bulk priming bottles

That's a long time for that yeast, I'd be tempted to repitch.
