First, hi all! I'm glad to join this fine group of beer lovers. I've come home!
Now, to questions. I am just polishing off my first keg of homebrew and need some advice before starting number 2.
1) Can I store my CO2 in the fridge? I heard that this could cause overcarbonation.
2) Once I force carbonate and get pressure equalibrium, do I still need to keep the CO2 on?
3) My next beer is coming from a malt extract. It says just add water, but I read that its better to boil 45 minutes. Opinions?
4) Once I move my beer to a clearing carboy, how long can I leave it there before kegging?
5) After I force carbonate (at room temperature), can I immediately refridge it or should I leave it for some days at room temp.?
6) Once in the fridge, will carbonation levels stay the same, or drop off because of the cooler temp?
Enough for now (I need a beer).
CHEERS!
