I have only kegged 3 beers so far, been bottling for years....
That being said, i am new to the whole Co2 thing. I carbed my first beer with corn sugar, and 5 years of it sitting in the back of a closet. Barleywine, which is pretty damn good.
My Apfelwein was "set and forget" method at 12psi for about 10 days.
My Oaked RIPA was "30 psi burst" carbed. I somehow did a burst of 30 psi, shut the valve, another 30 psi burst, shut the valve and I believe i did this about 4 times. It came out perfect. I actually did the homemade beergun and filled some bottles, and now am serving that keg at 11 psi.
I am now getting ready to hook up my 3 way splitter/manifold for Co2, and 3 Cobra taps in my fridge.
Is it better to put the Co2 outside and run the line inside, or is it better to store tank and all inside?
Another question I have is about the length of beer line for better serving (less foam). I am running 3-4 feet of 1/4" ID beer line with absolutely no foam issues. I almost always use a cold, not frozen glass for the pour, and the whole setup is inside the fridge and therefore no warm beer lines to help create foam. So, I have 30 feet of line coming, should I use 10' for each beer line, or is it a waste?
