Hello,
I just ordered a new kegging system from Rebel Brewer. :rockin:
Now I'm getting ready to keg my Oatmeal Stout and am going to naturally carbonate it in the keg. I know to use half the amount of priming sugar as I would for bottling, however it is unclear to me whether I have to add some CO2 to the keg (~5 psi) to maintain a good seal in the keg after it is filled.
So really, I'm wondering what everyone else who naturally carbonates their kegged beer does. Do you just add to the keg, seal and leave in the corner for two weeks, or do you top off the keg with some CO2 pressure after filling and sealing to help the top seal firmly?
Thanks, and cheers!
