A Cold Crashing
B Keg carbonation
C Serving temperature
sounds like a good plan. I think 2 weeks for carbonation been good enough for me but 3 certainly won't hurt anything. Yes I purge after filling and adding sugar, regardless of transfer method... it's easy and cheap so why not.I'd place stouts/porters with bitters and milds at cellar temps, 10-12c.
@schmurf , I plan on taking a similair approach when I pretty soon start building my kegerator and advance to kegging. 3 weeks at room temp with priming sugar, let it mature a week in my cool-ish basement, put it in fridge at 11c and let it chill then hook it up to co2 and let it sit with gas for a few days before I start pouring.
Darker ales will prob sit in basement a little longer with porters/stouts for 2 months or more.
Do you purge the headspace of the keg after filling it?
