I have aquired a chest freezer for cheap that I would eventually like to turn into a Keezer. It is an older montgomery ward with a temperature control. It only has 2 settings, normal and cold. Cold is a deep freeze and normal puts me at about 10-12 degrees F. Obviously too cold. My question...

I've always heard that it is not good to let beer get warm once it has been cold. But I've recently heard that that is just a myth. Or at least once it comes to beers that have been pastureized. If they have been pastureized the change in temperature wont affect it unless your change in...

After force carbing should I bleed off the pressure If I want to store the keg or should I leave it as is? Also, for future reference what would be the most effecient way to force carb? Last time I hooked up the CO2 to the keg and then put them in the fridge. Or, should I cool the keg first...

Also, I was just reading on a different thread that it takes more pressure to carb at higher temp. I guess this makes sense after reading the previous replies and info. For my current keg, I set the psi to 30, which was at room temp, and then put it in the fridge. Should I chill the keg first...

cool, I think that page will help out a lot. However, I still have questions since I've never done this before. What if I just want to store my keg for later. I've forced it at 30 psi so should I leave it how it is or should I bleed of the pressure first?

Thanks for the help. My guage is still holding at 30 after the adjustment. I will weigh the tank after I am done carbing this beer. Also, in regards to serving the beer, when I am done force carbing, do I bleed off the pressure in the keg or leave it and what is a good serving psi? Should it...

Ok. I set my guage to 30 psi to force carbonate. Now that it has been in the cold refrigerator for almost 24hrs, I notice the guage now says about 20psi. I had adjusted it back so it is at 30psi. Since it sounds like the the temp affects the gas, should I have just left it alone and not...

What should the PSI be on a full 5# CO2 tank? Does it vary? Also, will the guage show a pressure drop if the tank is placed in the refrigerator with the keg. I haven't tested for leaks but I may have one. It doesnt sound like it is leaking. I am force carbing my beer at 30 psi. I have it...
