Greetings to all
I have started to force carbonate two kegs while in my fridge @ 35f. My schedule is as follows:
- 24 hours @ 30psi
- De-gas and reduce to 12psi (will only be kept here for 36 hours)
I was meant to keep it @ 12psi for another few days (say 10 days) to stabilise the carbonation and then to disconnect from CO2 and to store until serving.
As I need the fridge to ferment a new brew the kegs will be taken out to room temp which is currently 68F.
Once the kegs reach room temp, should I rump up the pressure to whatever the calculators give me for 2.5 volumes @ 68F (27.6 psi) or would 12psi be sufficient.
The kegs will be placed in my kegerator and will be cooled to 35f prior to serving. This will probably happen in a couple of months.
