Carbing Temperature Question

[joegbeer]

I have a chest freezer w/ temp controller that I use for multi-purpose: fermentation temp control, lagering and serving.

I've recently been lagering a beer and therefore I have a serving keg that has been carbed at 33 F. The lagering is done and I'm ready to start fermenting another lager at 51 F, but I'll have two carb'ed kegs in the same freezer.

I'm assuming as the carbed kegs warm up from 33 to 51, they are going to blow off excess C02 at the warmer temperature. Am I correct that all I need to do is some C02 releases until the carbed kegs stabalize?

If you carbed to a desired volume of CO2 based on temperature vs pressure, that won't change just because you warmed the beer.

Just like a bottle.

So letting gas out is contraindicated...

Cheers!

Sounds like a good excuse to get a fridge for fermentation. Then you don't have to worry.
