What with the CO2 do I want to sanatize before I connect the CO2 to the kegs full of beer?


Can you explain what agitating a keg is to get the CO2 into the beer? Do I just shake the keg?

Or connect it to the CO2 and leave it alone. It's going to carb up in 5-7 days just fine this way. Shake and bake is for "I want to drink it sooner" mentality. And you could even over-carb it if you had a high PSI shake approach.
 
Ok great thanks guys.

I finished my 2 - 5 gallon keg fridge just now and fired it up for the first time, and it's chillin down right now. Woohoo! :ban:


What temp do you keep your fridge/beer at? I used Brittish Ale yeast in both my Stout and IPA.
