Double duty

[FARRIER]

My ge 5.0 doubles as a keezer and a fermenter when I finish my supply. I have two fermenting right now and a third brew scheduled for later this week. One of the brews in the fermenter is dry hopping and ready to be kegged. When I transfer it over to the keg should i begin carbonating? or just pressurize the vessel and let the beer age at fermentation temp. I usually am a low and slow guy when letting beers carbonate so It would be set at 10 psi. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Happy brewing....Patrick

You can carbonate it at fermenting temperature, you just have to use a higher psi. Here's a calculator that will tell you what psi to set it to at what temp: http://www.brewersfriend.com/keg-carbonation-calculator/.

There's also tons of charts online with the same info. I would go ahead and start carbing it up, then you can drink it sooner!
