So I kegged my first two batches on Sunday. Right now I have them both stored in my dining room which stays in the high 70's to low 80's most of the day.
I did some reading on carbonation, and looked at the helpful charts at various sites on the internet. The only problem is that none of the charts even come close to the temperature that I am storing the beer at. I extrapolated that I need to have the beer at roughly 30 PSI to carbonate in this high of a temperature.
Does anyone else carbonate in such high temps? If so what is your experience? How long should I keep the pressure at 30 PSI? How long does it actually take for the beer to carbonate? Once It has carbonated should I take the pressure down, and to what level?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
