Hi all,
This week I am about to finally attempt to keg my first brew and I had a few questions. I have 10 gallons of a nut brown ale and would like to attempt to keg two different ways if its possible.
1. Keg 5 gallons and carb it at 20 psi for 4 days (fridge at 38 degrees) then set my serving pressure and taste.
2. Keg the second 5 gallons and add 2 ounces of corn sugar, hit it with co2 and purge the air. Store at about 70 degrees. Can I let this carb and then after 2 weeks hook it up to the co2 and serve it as normal?? I am curious as to the taste difference between the two and want to set my standard how I will carb my beer in the future. Again thanks for any suggestions.
