So I have a few probably simple questions about kegging as I am in the process of doing it for the first time
1. I am doing the "set and forget" method. I set my pressure at 12psi then put the keg and regulator in the fridge at 40F. The next day I noticed it trickle down to 10 and stay there. I understand that this is normal but should I turn it back up in the fridge to 12 to get my 2.5 volumes (used the chart on morebeer website)?
2. I have the beverage out line connected while it is carbonating. Is that right? Should I have left it off until serving time?
3. The pressure relief valve has been welded closed on the used corny keg I bought. To purge off the oxygen in the headspace should I have carbonated for a while then detached the gas line and purged through the poppit valve? How many times?
Thanks!
Ben
