When I transfer from primary/secondary to keg, I like to age for a while in the cellar (50 - 60*F about 52 now) before carbonating/chilling. I like the idea of pressurizing to guarantee a good seal. So, since the CO2 is heavier than the air I should be able to purge the air just by bleeding it out through the relief valve, right? Is there any kind of method for this (length of purge, etc.)? Is it even worth while?
Also does anyone serve kegged beer at cellar temps? I was thinking about adding a couple of 'cellar temp' taps next to my keg fridge for Irish stouts and such. Maybe even a pump set-up for 'real' ales. Does the warmer temp really screw with carbonating and dispensing pressures?
