I just kegged my 1st brew (an ESB) the other day. I let it chill to about 34-36 dergrees and did the 30 psi shake thing for a day. I set the pressure to about 12 psi for the past couple of days to let the carbonation settle and get to where I can drink it soon. I am under the understanding that since I am using a cobra tap, I need to have a dispensing pressure of just a couple psi...true?
So today I ran the pressure down to 2 psi and tried to poor a pint. Surprise, surprise, it was all bubbles. I purged the pressure from the keg and tried again a few minutes later. It wasn't as bad, but the beer is definitely over carbonated.
I was hoping to take this keg to a party tomorrow night and am not sure what to do. I was thinking about leaving the pressure at 10 psi tonight and running it down tomorrow after work to my serving pressure of 2 psi...any suggestions?
Cheers
