Hey,
So I have yet to do this but I am curious. I have a beer right in a corny and in the fridge force carbing. I don't really want to have it on tap and was thinking of taking it out and letting it sit for a little while in the basement to age. It's a 3 gallon corny keg and there's about 2.7 gallons of brew in it so a little head space.
I am wondering if when I take it out of the fridge the beer will decarb a bit because gas will escape from solution as the beer warms? Is this a significant amount or does it not matter?
Should I put a higher PSI on the keg before I take it out of the fridge to make up for this?
If it does de-gas a bit then how long would it take to be absorbed back into solution if I put it back in the fridge?
