Cider questions

[jdman65]

Hey everybody just some quick wuestions on kegging a cider?

After the cider is kegged how long should I leave it under carbination before I serve it and also what is a good serving pressure?

I am hoping this recipe is like a angry orchard crisp clone, my wife loves the stuff. So with regards to serving pressure I would like a comparable carb level to angry orchard.

Thanks as always

Shaun

You know how keg pressure depends on the level of carbonation you want and the temperature of the cider/beer? And the length of your lines? You'll need to look at a carbonation chart to find the right pressure (psi) for your temperature.

Or do you have experience with the keg and are asking what level of carbonation?

I aim for 2.5 volumes when I carbonate cider. That's pretty fizzy, since cider doesn't have as much body as beer.

It takes about 2 weeks to get carbonated. For my set up, that means the pressure is like 12-13psi. I have 10 foot liquid lines and the refrigerator is at about 39-40 degrees.

Is that what you were asking?

Thank you very much. I have the same set up. So it will work perfect.
