What tempursture do you serve at?

[Prymal]

I have been trying to figure out what temperature to set my Kegerator at. Currently it's at 45, thinking that it will only take a few minutes for the served beer to reach cellar temperatures but I don't seem to be getting very many co2 bubbles in solution when I pour a beer. I'm thinking about dropping the temp to 38. What temperature do you serve at?

I serve the majority of my beers at 40°F and 11 psi for ~2.4 vol of carbonation.

yeah, keep your fridge temps in the mid 30's for Co2 uptake and let them rise to 38* in the glass. You will have a better presentation in the glass....

Cheers

39 and happy. Dropped it down from 45 for similar reasons. Glad I did.

Are you raising the CO2 pressure due to the higher temperature?

I typically have mine set at 45, and do not have any issues with carbonation.

I serve at 41 and have no problems with C02 absorption.

My head is fantastic at 45 and 12 psi I just done get those beautiful streams of co2 bubbles coming from the bottom of the glass.

38-40 is right on.

I've been playing with my temps as well and have achieved best results setting the controller @ 37-40. Have most @ 12psi and have a hefe @ 24psi. Going from 45 to the 37-40 dropped my pressure ~3psi keeping the same vol of co2.
