Hey there:
I plan on kegging my first 5 gallon IPA batch this weekend. Unfortunately the kegerator is not complete yet. I plan on kegging and storing at room temperature with the CO2 connected. I wanted to know if this sounds right...
Room temp is around 72 - 75 in my basement. (I know it is warm but it is the summer...) I figure the carbonation level needs to be at around 2.2-2.7.
Should I be setting the CO2 pressure at 30psi? And can I leave it set that for for a few weeks? Once I get the kegerator up and running I will turn down the pressure to about 11psi at 38 degrees...
Does this sound correct?
Or can I just hit it with 10psi of CO2 when filled and store it at room temp not connected to the CO2 until the kegerator is ready?
Thanks!
