Here's the scoop...
I have 3 brews that are just about ready to keg:
1) American Cream Ale
2) Oktoberfest
3) American Red Ale
Each one is a week apart in the secondary fermentation process, number 1 having been in the secondary the longest.
I have 5: pin lock corny kegs
Co2 tank
Regulator
Fridge destined to become a kegerator
i am looking for something to tell me the basic steps to keg each of these. By researching i have come up with the following plan:
Siphon each into a sanitized keg
Hit the keg with some pressure
Bleed off the top headspace in order to rid the keg of O2
Pressurize to 30 psi
Set the keg into the fridge for 2 days at 30 psi
Bleed the pressure down to 10-12 psi
Let keg set for another 5-7 days
And...Enjoy!
Do i have any of the steps in the wrong order, or have i missed anything? I would appreciate any input.
