Being new to kegging, I have more than a few questions, some of which could be viewed a rather "dumb" or not.
So, I plan on carbonation of my ales at around 2.2 volumes CO2. The kegs will be stored in my basement utility room, which sits at around 58F - perfect (IMO) for Scottish Ale and porter.
The BrewSmith calculator recommends around 18 psi for carbonation to 2.2 volumes CO2 at 58F
SO........if 58F is also my serving temperature, would I leave the CO2 bottle connected and regulator set at 18 psi for the duration of drinking the keg dry?
BTW, until I get a beer tower, I am using picnic faucets - crude, but useable!
Thanks,
Charlie
