Do you have a soda bottle to CO2 tank adapter?
I plan on bringing a keg to a wedding. I will have it cared to proper volume at home. Will the change in temp from 38 to 75 back down require days at serving temp to get a proper pour? I'm new to keying generally but this is my first transport. I figure the bottle model holds, that it will be perfectly okay but just want to make sure. Thanks in advance!
Co2 is dissolved into solution more readily at a lower temperature and leaves solution at a higher temperature to equalize pressure differential. That is one of the reasons other besides gas expansion that the head space pressure increases. For example if you want to get lets say 2.7 volumes of co2 and you store your keg at 36 degrees you may only need 12psi but to maintain that same psi at let's say 60 degrees you may need to keep it at 20 psi to keep that volume I co2 in the solution of beer.
How long will my keg carbonation last if I remove the gas-in pressure? I currently have a single keg setup. What I'm considering is buying a second keg and carbing both kegs with my current set up. If I get proper carbonation in keg 1 and then connect my co2 to keg 2, how long will my carbonation stay decent in #1? Is the current 12psi in the keg enough pressure to keep the carbonation level where I want I to be? Will this setup do the trick?
