Kegging.

Post by Jimmy M » Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:08 pm

I have just finished doing my first kegging/force carb,almost seems to easy.

The only question I have is now all I have to do is set it to serving pressure and drink as I feel?

Once you have done the carbonation to what you like it will stay that way?


Thanks.

I would bleed the pressure in the keg before hooking it back up to serve but after that you should be go to go.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Oh sorry, I did have a few, so I did bleed the pressure.. Just wanted to
Make sure it will stay at the same carb till the keg is empty.

Yep! Sometimes I'll shut the tank off if I'm not going to be having any for a few days, just in case my keg leaks. Otherwise, I just leave it set at serving pressure
