I just kegged for the first time and I am kind of nervous about if I did everything right.
I filled up a an old coca-cola cornie with my wheat beer, which has been in the secondary for about 7 weeks. (it took me that long to get valves for my keg) I added about 1/3 cup of corn sugar too.
I connected the co2 and picnic tap and put it in the fridge. I put the tank on about 15-16 psi and left it on.
I am guessing that in about a day I will be able to drink it and it will be okay. Does that sound right?
Another question I have is I was wondering if the length of my beer dispensing hose is too long. It's about 3 feet. I ask because when I pour a beer and it comes out the hose there is still some left in the hose when I stop pouring.
Will that beer in the hose go bad? It's 3 feet worth of beer and I would hate to lose that beer everytime I pour a beer or have to drink 3 feet of bad beer. You know?
Do I have to leave the co2 tank at about 15psi the whole time?
I have it at about 35 degrees fahrenheit. I hope I spelled that right.
Thanks for any help or comments. I love you beer guys!
By the way, if this works I absolutely love kegging. I was able to get my whole set up for 30 bucks. It's all used equipment of course. Some donated and some purchased.
