Don't mean to hijack his thread but i have question too..
I'm like just getting into kegging myself
Connect your gas line to your prechilled beer @ 42F (does it matter?)
adjust the gauge to your serving psi/ co2 carb level per the the chart
Lets say a Milk Stout: 1.85 volumes @ 42 F (average of 1.50/ 2.20)
Gauge should be set at 6 PSI
all this will need to be tuned/ tweaked once you get familiar... with your system
Ok that's easy enough...
Question 1: Do I Leave the co2 gas IN line "Connected" to the keg the entire time with the co2 gas open; 1
to 2 weeks for normal carbonation time under this scenario or do I disconnect it?
*Should I pre-chill my finished beer to 42F to speed up the co2 absorption?
*Purging the air ?: I purge the filled keg with co2 then release 3 times using the purge valve?
explain: Please
Question 2: I understand "DO NOT" connect the serving connection at any time during this time unless Im
ready to serve???
I don't want beer flowing into the closed faucet and or lines right, when and how to test
carbonation then???
Question 3: what the max amount I should fill the keg too.. is their like a recommended head space of no beer
that is suggested?
