Hey everyone
So I'm kegging for the first time today. I've replace all the o-rings and tested for pressure.
My thought is to rack over to the keg and just put enough C02 in the tank to void all oxygen. Once that was done I'm thinking of taking it off the gas and letting it condition for about a week before I actually force carbonate. Mainly this is because I'm leaving for the east cost for a week tomorrow. I have 2 kegs so my thought is I'll sanitize my lines using the 2nd keg and then actually hook up the beer. Is this pretty standard practice? I like to condition because I feel it really adds to the beer's flavor.
The other option I guess would be to just put pressure in the keg, leave in the keggerator for a week and by the time I'm back it would be carbonated.
Thanks
