So I have kegged about my third batch. This past weekend I kegged a Slovenian blonde and wanted some feedback on my carbonation method.
I don't have a kegerator and been doing the old school method. After I fill the keg with the beer, I pulse about 20-30psi and let it sit at room temperature for about 3-5 days. Then when I want to serve it I stick it in an ice bath and lower the pressure to about 12psi and let it sit for a day before I serve (surprisingly the ice doesn't melt in my tub but if it does I just refill). After that 24 hours, the carbonation looks good, but wanted to know other methods...
Any thoughts on a better way to carbonate if you don't have a kegerator. Please give me some good insight. Thanks!
