Getting ready to keg my first beer tonight. I accidentally purchased the wrong regulator (has a high pressure gauge vs a low pressure gauge) but figured while I'm waiting for the new regulator to arrive I can at least get the beer in the keg and start the carbonation process with corn sugar rather than force carb. However, I'm wondering how to go about purging oxygen from the keg. Is it just a matter of giving a keg a quick burst of CO2 at around 10 psi while holding the pressure relief valve open? Is purging just once then letting the keg sit sufficient, or should this be done a couple times during the first few days? If I'm carbing with corn sugar, do I store the keg with some CO2 pressure as well or will that lead to overcarbing?
Thanks,
Jeff
