Okay so I have a keg, CO2 tank and some other items arriving soon. Eventually I plan to convert a small chest freezer into a kegerator, but before that happens my wife has to decide on a replacement upright freezer. I have a setup with a cooler and a liquid heat exchanger block that can be filled with ice to cool the lines and the beer in those lines. The keg and CO2 tank will be on the outside of the cooler. To carbonate the keg I do have access to a cold storage area that is typically around 50-55 degrees F.
So with that background information here is my question. What is the best way to carbonate the keg in the cold storage and then make any necessary adjustment to the pressure when dispensing through the cooler.
Thanks for all of the assistance. I have been looking at all of the kegerator pictures drooling with envy.
