So I brewed for a few years and then quit because I got tired of the bottles, went to a friend of a friends the other day and he had the freezer/keg set up, so I am back in business.
I bought the pin lock set up; freezer should be here this weekend; and an Amber Ale is in the fermenter.
I have been reading up on how to keg and the opinions are, well you guys know. So here is my plan and questions, please let me know what you think.
1) I believe I have room in the freezer for 3 kegs and one carboy as long as I put the CO2 over the hump, can the CO2 bottle lean or be sideways or does it have to be straight up?
2) So when ale is ready drop in freezer for 24 hours
3) When I force carb on a pin lock system how to I release the O2 that is in there?
4) Force carb at 30 PSI for 48 hours and then release the gas and bring down to 4 PSI, have a glass and see how it tastes, if needed force carb again at 12 hour intervals until good tasting beer.
Does that sound like a decent plan until I get familiar with the process
