Hey All,

Just dry hopped for the first time in a keg. I pulled the bag yesterday and put the keg in the kegerator and hooked it up to co2 and the tap. I let it sit overnight and pulled a glass off of it today. There is A LOT of sediment floating around in there. I currently have the kegerator temp set to 44. Should I drop it to about 38 and let the beer sit for a week and then try to pour off what has settled on the bottom?
 
The temp depends what kind of beer it is, your beer line length and your tastes. I keep mine around 36 (various ales) and it works well for me. Having some sediment (when dry hopping in the keg) is to be expected, it'll clear out pretty quickly - and probably a bit faster if you lower the temp.
