Been searching around and haven't found anyone asking this specific question. My wedding's a year off and I'm already planning to have 20 gallons of home brew (in 4 corny kegs) available, half "his" and half "hers"--probably an IPA and a Hefe or a Wheat Ale.
Anywho, while I have the 4 kegs, I only have room for two at a time in my kegerator. I'll normally throw beer from secondary into a keg and have it ready to hook up, uncarbed, whenever a tap goes, and then boost carb it in place. However, for the wedding, I'll need to have all four kegs carbed up ahead of time.
I understand I can carbonate at room temperature using a higher pressure. So my question is: if I carbonate my kegs at room temp, transport them to the site, and then cool them down in an ice-filled container, will they serve normally or will this do weird things to the beer?
Thanks much for the help!
P.S. For serving I'm planning to build some sort of trash can portable dispenser as seen elsewhere on this forum.
