My friend called me to make some beer for his personal event, and the two of us made ~3 barells (300 liters) of beer for it. Idea is to put them in sankey kegs, force carb them and serve them from the tap. Now comes the first problem, tap is not Kegerator type, it's something like this - http://www.internetoglasi.com/wp-content/uploads/classipress/toilica-za-pivo-odin-1349055864.jpg
You connect the coupler to the keg which sits at room temperature and then it gets cooled on it's way to the glass. Why it's a problem - well, everywhere I read it says you need the same temp for force carbing and tapping. So If I force carbonate it at around 70 Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) will it get carbed well? Other problem is beer staying that way. I need that beer for 17 of may. I plan on racking it to kegs around 10th of may at the latest and force carbonating it. I plan to remove the spear, sterilise it with StarSan (I know this isn't sterile but Star San mostly works), rack the beer into keg, leave about an inch of headspace, return spear, purge CO2 and then carbonate.
How to carbonate is the final question? How to do it so it is carbed in 24h at most and when I remove the coupler and move the keg it stays carbonated for me to pour it from the tap when I connect it and everything...?
I hope for fast answers, and precise ones at that
Best regards from Serbia!
