Got a question,
Beer consumption has not matched production and I now have two full kegs in the kegerator and third one I kegged Sunday is not in cold storage (due to lack of space in kegerator or refrigerator). I do not do any priming sugar when I keg - CO2 is the carbonation conditioning method I prefer.
For the one not in the kegerator, I did put 30 psi of CO2 (quick burst) to seal the keg and to take out any oxygen. CO2 is not still hooked up.
So can I just leave it in the basement (temp is 65 -70) and if so, is there a finite time which it will remain good? I can put it out in the garage - not heated - but the temperature will fluxuate witht the climate. Temp range would be 45 degrees to 0 is a safe bet. Would that hurt it?
Would hate to end up screwing up this keg as it seems like it will be great when carbonated.
Thoughts?
