Ok I am going to keg my first beer. I've read some good information on this site about kegging and I think I am ready. What I wanted to do with this post is confirm that how I am going to do this is the correct way. I like Edworts carb for a week at serving pressure and I think thats how I am going to do this.
1. Pressure Test Keg- Fill keg halfway with water, connect the gas side ball valve leaving the beer side valve OFF and hit it with 20 pounds. this should tell me that my keg holds pressure.
2. Sanitation. Enough said.
3. Rack Beer, Hook up gas side ball valve, beer side valve still OFF. Turn gas up to 12psi, hit the little valve that purges the oxygen out of the keg a few times.
4. Let sit for 1 week at serving temps, around 39 degrees. After one week hook up beer side ball valve and beer comes out on command. Is this right?
How does that sound? Did I make a error anywhere? Thanks for info.
