Hey guys,
Brewed my first 10 gal batch. Plan is to get two kegs, one to be on draft, and the other to put away for another time. Usually, I force carbonate over 2 weeks and serve. My question is, for the 2nd keg that won't be on draft quite yet, should I fully carbonate prior to storing it away? Or can I just clear the head space, and carbonate prior to putting on tap as usual? Wondering if the C02 helps protect the shelf life. Or does it not matter either way..?
Let me know thoughts.
