I've cleaned up two used ball-lock kegs, installed a 20lb Co2 tank in an old fridge with a triple gauge Taprite regulator, and plan on using 10' long beer beer lines with picnic tabs to dispense my brews. :rockin:
I keg my first beer (IPA) tomorrow evening. I cold crashed it two days in the fermentor, fined with gelatin last night, and plan on racking it to a keg tomorrow evening. A question for those who force carb:
I don't really want to shake my keg to speed carbonation. Seems like it could get beer inside the "gas-in" post/poppets/disconnects which would require some extra cleaning, right?
So assuming I don't want to shake the keg up, and I want the beer carbed in the next 3-5 days, could I crank the PSI up to ~30psi for about 2.5 days, purge, set the regulator to 10-11psi and have a carbed beer a day or two later? Do you think it be over-carbed or under-carbed on this schedule? Just wondering what to expect.
