So I'm kegging for the first time tonight, and, while I like the simplicity of setting at serving PSI and leaving for 2 weeks, I don't think I have the patience plus that will cut off viable time for what is a very hoppy beer.
I like what I've read on the this forum re: set to 30 PSI for 48 hours, release CO2 from head space, set to serving PSI (10-12 PSI), then leave for another 48 hours and then tweak from there if necessary. First, does that right?
Second, and more importantly, I'm leaving town early tomorrow morning for 4 days, so I won't be back to turn down the pressure from 30 PSI after 48 hours. So my question is, does anyone have an estimate for what PSI (less than 30 I'm guessing) that I could leave the beer at for 4 days, and then turn it down to serving pressure when I return on the night of the 4th day?
Any alternative ideas would be much appreciated. FYI, the beer is cold crashing now and I hope to have it around 45 degrees by the time I keg it.
Thanks!!
