Hi all,
I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
I pressurize my 15 bbl bbt's to 15 - 17 psi for my bottling line. Recently I've been getting requests for kegs but not very many.
I plan to keg as few as 8 kegs per 15 bbl batch but obviously the pressure is too high. My thought was to fill the kegs at 15 psi and put the kegs in my store room and let them rise in temperature to ambient of 65f. then release the pressure over time until I get to the equivalent of 10psi when chilled to 40f.
My question is if this is the best practice?
My other thought was to carbonate to 10 psi, fill the kegs I need and then continue to carbonate at the higher level for bottling. My problem here is the time factor as I condition for 7 days and would then have to add more time to raise the co2 level for bottling.
Thanks for any suggestions
