So I've decided that I want to go the route of letting my beer naturally carbonate in the keg at room temperature by using priming sugar. I would prefer not to force carbonate. My beer has been in the primary for 3 weeks. I think it would be best to let it condition in the keg at room temperature for another 2-3 weeks rather than putting the keg in the cold under co2 using the "set it and forget it" method. My question is this....
.....after the conditioning period is over and I'm ready to hook up the keg to the co2 do I set the psi at the normal level that I would have if I had decided to carb by the "set it and forget it" method (like around 9psi for an IPA)? Or, do I want to set the psi low to around 1-2 psi since the keg is already carbonated? I read a few dozen threads and I think I've only confused myself more...
