So I just racked a batch of an Ordinary Bitter over to a corny keg to 2ndary / age a bit before (at least the plan was) to force carbonate (at about 1 volume or so is recommended for the style).
So out of curiosity I hit the calculators and if I chill to say 50 deg, they say <0.1 PSI !?
So this being the first brew I've tossed into a keg (and now am thinking I could have chose something simpler perhaps) it leaves me with some odd questions.
Can I reliably set a regulator to <0.1 psi?! and would that be a serving pressure too.
If I tossed the keg into the keezer, sealed without the gas, would it magically have almost 1 volume of co2 in it?
Are regulator pressures relative to atmospheric pressure? I'd think they must be otherwise anything less than 14psi wouldn't want to flow out...
