Hey guys, I don't post around here much, but a lot of the stuff about kegging confuses me.
I've been a long time bottler who's finally kegging. But I have a unique issue, I suppose?
I don't have a kegerator at the moment and I have no room in my fridge. But my beers entered into a competition that requires a full keg. I plan on kegging next Tuesday and hooking up my CO2 tank to it. The problem is it'll sit at room temp Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday until I drop off my keg next Friday, at which point it'll sit in a refrigerated room for 8 days.
So how do I go about carbonating it properly? I guess if it really comes down to it, I can buy a kegerator so that I can store it at 34 degrees and force carb.
Could I just use for 40PSI at room temp and let it sit for a few days before it gets refrigerated? Would that work? Or do I set it somewhere inbetween for a few days before I drop it off and it should carbonate?
Basically, I'm just completely lost and fear having a flat beer for the competition.
