Hi fellas, happy Friday.
I will be supplying beer for a wedding In early October and will be purchasing the Corny Keg "Whole Enchilada Kit" with an extra 5 gal keg (ball lock). I plan on keg conditioning for a week or 2 before serving and I have read to keep CO2 pressure on the beer over that time. Questions are:
1) are the 'ball locks' on the Corny Kegs the same as non-Corny Kegs? And if not, are there adapters made so I can use the existing CO2 hardware if I purchase other ball lock kegs?
2) What is the benifit of keeping the beer pressurized? Carbonating and keeping oxygen off the brew so it doesn't go bad and is ready to drink come to mind.
3) Once the beer has conditioned for the 1-2 weeks or so and is pressurized, do you just put the keg in the fridge and leave it indefinately?
Thanks for the help!
