I'm brewing 40 gal. of homebrew for my brother-in-laws wedding in July. Kegging and carbonation will happen at around 1200 feet. Wedding is at around sea level and several hundred miles away. Due to number of kegs I will have to force carbonate at room temp <70*. I plan on building a big ice chest to haul them in so they won't get hot in the back of my truck.
Fairly new to kegging and have some questions:
1. Will the carbonation temp. vs. the serving temp create problems?
2. Will the elevation change create problems?
3. Will the agitation inherent with a 360+ mile journey create problems?
4. Anything else I need to consider?
5. Kind of unrelated, but how do I fix an over carbonated keg? If I bleed off pressure there's just not enough pressure to serve . . . when I turn the pressure back up it's still foamy.
Thanks!
