I tried searching and couldn't find anything useful, so if there is an article please post the link and you don't have to re-type anything.
I had a beer that we force carbed at around 14 PSI at 38 F. We let it sit for a week with the co2 at 14 and it carbed up nice, didn't seem flat at all. I am somewhat new to kegging, so I know most people serve in the 6-10 psi range, so I put the co2 back down to 8, and when we went to drink it next weekend the beer seemed flat. Does the beer de-carb to level the co2 tank is set at while sitting in the keezer, or was this some anomaly? If I want a highly carbonated beer, 2.8 liters at 40 degrees shows to carb at 16 PSI. If I do that for a week then turn down to 10 for serving, will the beer slowly go from 2.8 down to the 2.3 that it shows for 10 PSI?
