This is great, everyone! Basically, the beer only equalizes when the temperature changes in the beer? Also, since bottles are conditioned at room temperature, the pressure also changes depending on the temperature prior to opening the bottle? Since cold beer absorbs the CO2 better than warm, the...

Thank you! Sorry, that was a poorly worded question and I didn't give all the details. If, after the keg is fully carbonated in the refrigerator at 39 degrees, I shoot it with 30PSI, remove the CO2 AND move the keg to a warm corner in my house. After about 2 weeks, should I still have the 30...

I just started kegging about a month ago after about a year's hiatus from brewing because I really hate bottling. Makes me wonder why I didn't start sooner. I digress... So, now I am interested in the basic chemistry / science behind the CO2. When bottling with priming sugar, after about a...

This is JUST the information I was looking for. Thank so much everyone!

So, according to this chart: http://www.kegerators.com/carbonation-table.php I have a porter I want ready in 3 months. I set the PSI at 10-18 in a 60 degree basement then let it sit? Do I leave it hooked to the tank or can I disconnect so I can use it on other kegs? You guys are great BTW!

Thanks for the quick replies! So, if I plan to age my beer at least 3 weeks, should I forgo the cooling and 48hour C02? Just hit it with 30PSI while it's warm and let it sit warm. When I'm ready to drink, bring it to temp and run 30PSI for a couple days until it's ready? I'll get some of those...

I've been home brewing and bottling for 14+ years and I just recently upgraded to a kegging system. I bought the package deal with a 5lb C02 tank, corny keg, hoses, tap, etc. I have my first batch in the keg now. I've been doing some reading and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly...
