Hey guys, so I just took my first step into the world of kegging last night. I picked up two corney kegs off of Craigslist and I'm hoping to have my system ready for Xmas/new years. Since time is not an issue, I would like to use the "set and forget method" for carbing. My hope is to carb over the 3 weeks leading up to the holidays, then set the kegs outside (gets cold enough outside) and just serve with a picnic tap. I did the research and understand the concept of carbing at lower temperature etc. But if I was to carb at room temp for 3 weeks before chilling the beer down, do I set the psi based off the three weeks at room temp, or do I set it based off the serving temp? (I only plan to chill it the day before). Also, if I get it carbed after the 3 weeks, how long should the kegs last without being on pressure?
Is there any risk of starting a keg a week before the other? I understand the pressures would try to equalize, but if I shut off co2 to keg a before the initial blast to keg b, will I be ok?
I'm sorry if these are rookie questions that have been answered elsewhere... I did try to find them already I swear
