Last night I opted to skip bottleing and keg my first batch of beer. I racked my porter into the corny, making sure not to expose it to excess oxygen. I purged the air out of it and let it pressurize at 20 psi while i shook it a bit.
Being my first batch of brew and the first time using a keg i started tasting it and fiddling a bit. the beer tasted great, and the carbonation seed good, so i set the regulator to 10psi and stuck the tank and keg in the fridge.
Being the anxious fellow i am, i kept sneaking sips of it throughout the night and noticed a carbonated water taste creeping into the beer. Before bed i unhooked the tank and left the pressure in the keg. This morning the carbonated water taste was stronger than ever.
Did i overcabonate? What do i do to fix? please help.
I did use the search button for this first but didnt quite find the info i needed.
I think my pressure gauge might be off a little.
thanks, ryan
