Transferring Fermented Beer in Keg

I wouldn't. The beer will splash around on the drive over.

 

I guess I'd say, you don't need the beer in the kegerator to carb it. Bring the CO2 take to your place with a line, if anything at least purge the Oxygen from it before you move it, or carb it right there...

 

Curious on this one - So the kegs that get moved around the country/various towns/cities, etc. for distribution - is the reason they don't succumb to oxidation because they are already fully carb'd?

 

If not fully carbed they at least purged the kegs of oxygen....

 

Absolutely yes . . . unless your parents live at the end of the street. Agree with @Jaguar10301 , at least "burp" your keg as soon as possible after racking.

 

Why don't you brew at your place and transfer it unfermented without the yeast pitch if you are concerned. Any sloshing that happens along the way will be "aerating" the wort and you can just pitch and ferment at your parents' house.

 

Unless you can get the keg cold it would take high pressure to force carbonate at room temps. Refer to the chart below. You do not want to serve over 15 psi. The beer shoots out way to fast and just foams.

 

i force carb outside my kegerator all the time... I then let the pressure neutralize in my kegerator... Still I also gave the caveat or you can just purge the Oxygen with CO2.... but thanks for the lesson

 

I'm not a fan of high pressure carbonation. Leads to over carbonation imo.
Plus the beer still needs to sit around a week for the carbonation to set in the beer for the long lasting cascade of carbonation. As fast as the gas goes in the beer it will come out just as fast.

 

As long as you set the pressure correctly for the temperature, the result is exactly the same. Higher pressure (to match the higher temperature) doesn't lead to over carbonation.

Unless you meant carbonation at a pressure higher than the steady state pressure for the CO2 volumes needed, i.e. FAST force carbonation. You can definitely over carbonate that way, because there's no way to know exactly when the target CO2 volumes has been reached.
