I am kegging my first beer right now, but I have 1 question.
I am set up right now to 'set and forget' for 2 weeks. I have 4.5 gallons in the keg. It is sitting in the garage at a consistent 52F. Beersmith says to set the regulator to 18.5 psi, which I have done.
I understand that the beer will equilibrate to the pressure in the keg. If I set it to such a high psi to compensate for temp, will it end up absorbing all the co2 (18psi) over time, thereby over-carbing, or is my setup correct. Will I need to back off the pressure at some point? Beersmith says 18.5 psi for 2.5 volumes or carbonation.
Thanks!
