So I just racked my first batch to a corny keg today. Just looking for some confirmation on whether I'm doing this right.
Beer (Mexican Cerveza) in primary for 3 1/2 weeks at 65F ambient
OG 11.4 Brix
FG 4.8 Brix
Refractometer Corrected ABV% 5.02
I cleaned and sanitized the keg thoroughly.
Then I racked the beer into the keg.
Sealed the keg
Pressurized keg to 9 psi
Removed gas line
Placed keg in keezer at 37F and raised the temp controller to 45F.
So after reading one of Bobby M's threads, should I go back to the house and connect a gas line to the keg. I normally keep my keezer serving pressure at around 11-12 psi at 37F.
I should just let the keg carbonate on its own time schedule at the 12 psi and check it in 10-14 days?
Is there anything bad about trying half a pint while it is carbonating?
