I guess I could work.
When transferring beer between kegs I've always gone from liquid post to liquid post. Theory being that I'm filling the new keg bottom up.
Would you risk oxidation if you filled from the gas side since the beer has to drop to the bottom of the keg? In theory there should be little to no free O2 in the system at that point.

Cool, if it works it works. I have a gas to liquid jumper I use to clean kegs. It's super handy.
Might set up a longer hose on my sterile siphon starter and set it up this way.

someone who is better at MS Paint than me did a good job illustrating what I'm looking to accomplish...
The spunding valve is the piece I didn't think of and what I need to keep from blowing up the carboy.

What's it supposed to do?
I just pull the pressure relief valve and leave it in the open position.

Can you not just have the relief valve open as you fill?
edit: I see suspense has the same thought.

I think it works similar to the pressure relief values on counter pressure fillers...
The valve allows you to control the speed of the transfer and allow you to transfer into kegs that don't have a pressure relied valve (I have a few that I only use for sours).
It probably isn't necessary for kegs with a relief valve. You could just use the regulator to control the flow rate.

Spunding Valve
TIL about a spunding valve. I have been doing a lot of natural carbing in my kegs lately. I need to look in to building one of these.

Me too I never knew what they were called until I saw that diagram...
interesting BYO article on natural carbonation using spunding valves.

I think you need some black malt and/or roasted barley to make it more stout-ish.

I think I've got a pound of black patent at the house...

8 ounces would be enough to get the color more in line with a stout, I think. Haven't plugged any of that into BeerSmith to see though.

I'll punch it in, in a bit.

Never dealt with peppermint stuff but are there any concerns with it tainting your tubing or keg lines?
Posted on 11/13/14 at 10:51 am to s14suspense
Im not to worried about the draught lines. I have plenty of extra.
Posted on 11/13/14 at 11:21 am to LSURoss
ordered the stuff to make a Pliny Clone next week.

Only mention that because of the horror stories with people making Root Beer for their kids and having it taint the whole kegging system.

yeah, ive heard those stories as well. I will just clean everything with caustic and acid at the brewery.

If you are using better bottles I'd be cautious using caustic on them. Caustic is some bad arse stuff and over time will damage any non-HDPE plastics.
Oxyclean free or PWB will remove almost everything and won't damage you plastics without extremely high temperatures or long exposure times.
