Hi Everyone,
I'm going to hit you up with a number of questions, so please bear with me....
Current equipment and vessel status
- Kegged Centennial Blonde on 6/2 @ 30PSI, then dropped it to 12PSI on 6/4.
- I've got a Mini fridge with space for 1 bucket/carboy/keg (currently being occupied by the Centennial Blonde).
- My regulator is a dual valve, but they have to be set at the same pressure.
Question 1 - How long do I need to keep the blonde hooked up at 12PSI? At some point am I able to turn the gas off and it will stay at that?
Question 2 - If possible I'd like to bring TWO kegs on my upcoming road trip to a family reunion (6/11-6/20). Is that possible giving the timing of my second brew (see details below).
Brew: Three Floyds Gumballhead
Brew Date: 5/25
Primary: 5/25-6/2 (8 Days)
Secondary + dry hop: 6/2-today (currently 5 days...)
OG: 1.05 (because I had terrible efficiency...arg)
FG: 1.004
Question 3, and 4, and 5... - How should I handle this brew? Do you think I should try and bring it, or is that rushing things? If I'm going to bring it, what should my process be over the next couple days? Cold crash for a day, rack into the open keg, force carb it @30psi for a couple days, then reconnect the Centennial back and turn both on at 12psi? Should I just leave this thing alone until I get back?
Thanks!
Chris
