Going to tap my first ever keg tonight... comments?

[Mateo]

I have a Bohemian Lager that I am going to tap tonight.

Here is the run down:

4 weeks fermenting
2 weeks lagering and carbing (I just can't wait any longer).

I added 1 quart of spiese (1.068) to the 5 gallons 2 weeks ago. I left it out for a few days and then put it in the freezer at 50F. Wish I could go colder, but that's not going to happen with this one as I am getting my lagering dialed in.

Currently it is at 49F and should be down to 48F by tonight.

From the chart I think I need around 12 PSI to server and keep this carbed up.

I don't have the expectation that is completely cleared but I am impatient.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

My only suggestion would be "Don't drink it all in one night". My first keg was gone in short order, cause I told all my friends about it and it was a good ale.

Salute!

Could be better as it gets a little older. Get some more made so you can spread this out a few weeks longer and see how it "ages".

I am sure it will get better, but I have 15 more gallons of Pilsner fermeting and lagering now. This is my first lager since 1996. So I am anxious.
