It is in the fridge and I have all valves open. How long does it take until the beer stops adsorbing the co2? I had it at 30psi for about 24 hours then dropped it to 10 psi.

I am kegging for the first time and have noticed that during carbonation I lose pressure slowly and it appears that my gauge that tells me how much co2 I have sits just above the red marking to "order more gas". Ive checked for leaks and truely believe thats not the issue but was wondering if...

How long should I wait to drink an oktoberfest? My plan is to keg, which would help, but i wasnt sure if it needs to age for a few months or can i brew it and drink in a similar time frame as like an IPA?

I'm building a 3 tap keezer and bought a manifold with shut offs, but now I'm wondering if I should throw on secondary regulators since I may not brew the same styles. Any suggestions and possible pics? Thanks

Any worries about temperature controlling? I've considered something similar, but with bulk storage and being in the basement, I feel like temp would be needed?

Awesome, thanks for the info

Has anyone been able to find and/or create a clone of the Elysian Night Owl pumpkin beer? I have not started full grain brewing quite yet, but was hoping someone who has figured it out using extract or even brew in a bag would be willing to share their recipe?

Yea good point, I'm sure it may have to do with the caps you use too.

Looks organized! my problem is storage of beer and wine because I've got a lot. I recently built a keezer so that helped my beer situation.

I know I can't possibly be the only one with an unfinished basement overwhelmed by ageing beer, wine and equipment?!?! Does anyone have some nifty DIY suggestions? At some point I do have plans to finish my basement with some type of bar setup, but would certainly need something to store the...
