Hey.
I appreciate any feedback provided here.
Kegged my first beer today. I've read a lot of the kegging / force carb threads and even some articles. Here is my confusion:
1. Do I set the disired PSI per the temp I'll store the beer at (fridge about 40degrees) or the temp the beer was when carbonating (about 66 because it was fermenting in a basement).
2. Assuming I set it to PSI per the fridge temp, how long should I leave it at that PSI?
3. Once full carbonated, can I disconnect the CO2 tank or do I need that PSI applied for the life of the beer in that keg? For example, I may enjoy a glass of beer from that keg now and then here and there and if I have companies. Once the CO2 is forced and it's disolved in the beer, d I need to keep the PSI on?
Thanks for all of your help. This has been somewhat confusing and hectic for me.
