Hey everybody, I'm pretty new to kegging (enjoying my first pints now). This may be a real dumb question, so bear with me...
I've always heard that the first couple pints are all the sediment and yeast, so just pour them out and you'll get clear beer. I racked an amber ale over into a room temperature keg, put it in the kegerator, hooked the gas up at ~12 psi, and waited a week. The carbonation and head are good, but it's still cloudy and a little yeasty.
Should I have let it chill down to serving temp for 24-48 hours before putting the gas on, or do I just need to wait another week or two?
Thoughts from the ninja keggers?
Thanks in advance...
