Good morning everyone. After about 10 batches, I’ve made the switch to kegging and have a couple questions.
After cold crashing for three days, I transferred 5 gallons into my keg and sealed it up. I put 30psi of CO2 on the beer for about an hour, and lightly shook up the keg every time I walked by. Before I went to bed, I turned it down to 12psi and set my temp controller to 40F, where it has remained for about 12 hours now. Once my beer is carbonated, I plan to shut off my CO2 until I am ready to serve, at which point I will connect my liquid line and set my regulator to 2-3psi.
1. Have I screwed anything up so far? From what I understand, my beer should be carbonated in 1-2 weeks.
2. I would love to take a growler of properly carbonated beer tomorrow. What would be the best way to achieve this over the next 24 hours?
3. My beer had a fair amount of haze when I racked it from my primary fermenter, nothing out of the ordinary. Can I expect the beer to clarify similarly to bottle conditioned beer over time?
