Hey all, first post. Been bottling for 5 months and just built the kegerator (very nice), and I prepared 2 batches three + weeks agos. These two batches, one amber and one honey brown, went through the normal process: primary, secondary (first batch finished in a keg while the second batch was housed in the secondary).
Once the kegerator was built, I hooked up both kegs to the CO2 and dropped both kegs in the fridge (converted chest freezer), and plugged it all in. Do I need to worry about the timing of carbonation and cooling the beer? Does CO2 allow for carbonation in cold temperatures? it just seems like with bottling and sugar water, the temperature had to be warmer for longer (sittin in the closet, etc).
Thoughts?
