Just kegged up 2 batched O' beer for the first time tonight, and I think I know what I was doing, but just want to double check.
Kegging procedule went as follows:
1.) Clean kegs
2.) Sanitize kegs
3.) Ran sanitizer through clean beer lines/taps.
4.) Poured sanitizer out of kegs
5.) Racked beers into the kegs and sealed them up.
6.) Looked up pressure setting on table for desired volumes at my fridge temp and set the pressure appropriately
7.) Hooked up CO2 tank to kegs and pulled the little valve thingie a couple times to purge the air out of the head space.
8.) Left the CO2 tank hooked up to kegs with the pressure on.
9.) Closed the fridge and am now trying to patiently wait for my beer to carb up
I am supposed to leave the CO2 on right??? eg: I'm not supposed to pressurize and then disconnect.
Can starsan go bad in my beer lines in 2 weeks? The starsan got trapped between the tap and the ball valve thingie, and it's not going anywhere, but rather than draining it out, I figured it wouldn't hurt to leave it, and the beer should push it out anyway(first glass or 2 is the deggs right?? which means the first 1-2 glasses will be going down the drain??) Or should I drain the lines?
Thanks in advance!
