Hello!
I will be kegging for the first time and had a few questions.
1) It seems like the two most popular methods are either cranking the tank to 30 for 1-2 days then turning down to 10 before serving or setting it at the desired PSI and waiting 2 weeks. Is there any FLAVOR advantages to the set and wait method? I would love to save time but not at the cost of taste. In the past I have left it for 3 weeks in the primary and 3 weeks in the bottle. 3 weeks in the primary and 2 days in the keg seems a little quick. thoughts?
2) I have seen videos of folks keeping the CO2 tank outside the fridge and running a line through a hole. If I have the space, can I keep the tank, regulator and keg in the fridge? Will this damage anything?
Thanks so much. This forum is such a huge help for beginning brewers like myself.
