1. I bought a 5gal soda keg with ball locks. 6 feet of tube, party/picnic spout, 16g Co2 charger and dorm fridge.
So here are my questions....here we go!
1. Is 6 feet of tubing enough to cut down on foaming if I am only using a 16g Co2 charger and not a 5/10lb Co2 canister?
2. Do I need to condition my keg before using it for beer AND do I need to use a different keg for lighter beers and darker beers etc?
3. How long do I need to leave my beer in the keg, once I have primed it, before I can put it into the fridge?
4. Once the beer is ready to go into the fridge, when do I charge it with Co2? My understanding is that the 16g Co2 charger I have is only used to push the beer through the tube and out of the spout...it is not used to "carbonate" beer.
5. DO I need to purge the Co2 in the tank when I am not using the keg?
