I brewed a Porter about four weeks ago. I went from 1.062 to ~1.015, the recipe called for the OG to be ~1.057 and to finish at ~1.012.
I checked FG a few days now and its constant, The beer tastes good and I ma happy with the flavor so I'm ready to Keg, I placed my carboy primary in the frig at 40F for the last 24 hours to settle it out and clear up the beer.
I have the keg all cleaned up.
I am planning on carbonating the following way. Rack the beer over and pressurize to about 40PSI for two days. Then I'll drop the pressure down to 8PSI and see what its like. My questions are as follows. I'm not going to shake the beer or anything like that.
Will this work? Will I be happy with the results?
Do I keep my keg attached to the CO@ tank at 40 PSI for the two days? Or pressurize it and then disconnect the keg?
What trouble could I run into?
Do I always keep 8PSI on the keg all of the time? Open valve to the CO2 at 8PSI?
Is there any obvious kegging knowledge that I am overlooking?
