So I just kegged a pale ale I brewed. (all grain) So far the following has occured:
2 weeks in primary
1 week dry hopped
Then I transferred to the my keg.. Hooked it up to C02... Purged.. and put in the kegerator where it has been at 36 degrees since Saturday.
During the past few days I have been reading a lot of posts on proper keg conditioning. I realize I have been doing it wrong. I should be purging and sealing the keg with c02. The letting it sit at room temp for another 2-3 weeks.
So at this point what are my options:
1) Leave it alone in the kegerator for 3+ weeks
2) Shut off the c02.. Disconnect... and bring back to room temp for a few weeks. Then hook back up to c02 for a week in the kegerator. Then serve
3) Or (Same as above) except leave in my garage (approx 50F) for a few weeks..
I guess the real info I need is going to be on the temperatures. If I take it from 36F the past 2 days up to room temp to condition will I cause more harm than good?
