Need a quick answer on kegging. I kegged my first beer tonight, borrowing a buddy's setup. I washed the keg inside, rinsed, soaked the lid in star San (with seal removed), put some star San in the keg, put the lid on, shook it for about 29 seconds, dumped out the star San, scooped out most of the foam but left some. Dumped in my priming sugar solution and I then racked my beer in through the large opening. Replaced the lid and connected the co2 line to the in post. Applied gas at 10 psi until I couldn't hear any more gas going in. Picked up the keg and shook a little then removed the gas line.
QUESTION: I realize I just applied co2 to the existing air in the keg. Should I have applied co2 with the release valve open first for about 20 secs and then closed the release valve and continued to fill. After reading it seems like this would have been better so only co2 in the keg. I did this all 2 hours ago, should I go release the pressure now, apply gas with the release valve open to purge out all air the close the release valve and seal with co2? Is it too late now? Not sure if I should go do this now or don't worry about it.
