Howdy, I'm kegging my first batch this weekend and I have a beginners question. I don't have a fridge that I can put the keg in so I'm planning on working in my basement which is 65°. After carbonating I want to bottle most of the batch using a beer gun and then store them in my basement until needed and then put them in my fridge which is set to 37°.
I'm going to use a stone in the keg to carbonate for a few days at whatever PSI is appropriate. I'm looking to get to 2.5 volumes of CO2 so should I set the PSI to 11 (for the 37° fridge) or 29 (for the 65° basement). I see that the charts are for serving temps so I assume 11 PSI.
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I'm just afraid of bottles bursting if I do it wrong. Thanks!
