Okay, I have the equipment, but have never kegged before. So, here's what I thinkI'm supposed to do, help me clear up any incorrect assumptions I may have...
1. Clean the keg, sanitize.
2. Siphon beer into keg. Seal the keg.
3. Attach the CO2 tank to the keg.
4. Set the CO2 tank somewhere between 25-30 (Beersmith says set to 27)
5. Wait a week, perhaps two.
6. Bleed off the excess gas, transfer to fridge.
7. Attach the CO2 again, set to 5 - 8, dispense the delicious libation.
So, a couple of questions. One, when I set the tank to 25 - 30 and wait, I assume I leave the tank attached, set to 25 - 30?
Two, how long do I put the keg in the fridge before it's ready to serve?
Any help or direction is appreciated. I did look at the sticky and do some searches before I posted, and some questions were answered, but not all. I'm trying to put together a step-by-step beginner's guide for extract brewing, kegging, etc. for a friend who's just getting started, and I figured why not help us both at the same time!
