My brewing overran my kegorator space in November, so I naturally carb'd the last beer, which has been sitting at cellar temperatures ever since. It's now time to imbibe in that last keg, but never having done this before (naturally carbing a keg), I have a question.
My understanding of gas law tells me that my keg (at room temp) should have about 30psi in the head space. Once the beer cools this will redissolve, leaving the keg near serving pressure.
My question is: how long will that take? IE, once the keg is in the fridge, how long does it need to sit cold before I can serve without risking a beer shower?
Thanx
