Hey all, hoping you can tell me if what im doing is right, or wrong and how to fix it! So I got a kegerator from costco a few years ago and built a bar on the other side of the laundry room where the kegerator stays. I have about 15 ft of 3/16 poly tubing, with about 8 ft of it inside the kegerator. The rest of the line i just have those pipe insulators over it to the wall where it comes into my tap. The first keg i got was coors banquet and it worked good, the next one i cant remember what it was but it was good till about halfway through then it came out as foam, and the third was foam pretty much all the way through. I changed my psi and temps around but never could it right.
Anyways I'm starting to get into home brewing and my wife got me for Christmas just one of those simple kits you get at the store to get your feet wet. It's the baron premium red ale kit. I'm at the bottling stage /kegging stage now.
So here my plan, I've already taken my Sanke keg apart and cleaned it with pwb, i need to go get some starsan and i will sanitize it with that. I then plan to siphon to beer(which im going to have chilled in my fridge, after moving from the carboy to another so i dont get sediment everywhere) Ill then set it to 25psi, shake it for 5mins, then im unsure about the best thing to do after that, just set it to 12 psi? What temp should i have my fridge, Im thinking around that 10-12c range?
Any tips appreciated!!
