I'm a bit confused.
I have primed my keg, applied some CO2, purged the O2.
It has been sitting for 3 weeks now at around 68 deg F.
The next steps is where I am shaky and have yet to find a direct answer.
1. Put the keg into the kegerator for a day or so to absorb CO2 (no gas connected at this time).
2. After a couple of days purge the remaining CO2 in the headspace and connect the CO2 line to the keg at around 12 psi.
Sound good so far, or is some of that unnecessary?
Finally, assuming 1 & 2 are correct:
Can I just start pouring or do I need to give it another week or so at that 12 psi to carb more?
