So, I've done some research... here's my plans. I wanted to see what you all thought.
First time doing this...
I'll have my future-keezer chest freezer in by tomorrow, complete with Johnson controller. I plan to set this @ about 38degF.
I have 3 brews in secondary I plan on getting into kegs tonight.
Oatmeal/Vanilla Stout, Newcastle Clone, Pumpkin Ale.
I want to cold crash all of these for a day in the freezer, getting them down to freezer temp. (any optimal practice/assumption that one can use to get in-keg brew temp?)
Then, time to gas up.
Assuming my 38degF chest is making 40degF beer in the kegs, I'll gas up as follows:
Oatmeal Vanilla Stout = Put it on 7psi for about a week, should put me around 2.0-2.1.
Pumpkin Ale = Put it on 12psi for about a week, should get me to 2.47.
Newcastle Clone = Still looking for optimal carb levels for this thing...
Thoughts?
