Howdy,
We have just brewed our first batch of Munich Helles and have began filling 50L sanke kegs with it. We dont have any pressure tanks so have had to fill the kegs with the lager flat and intend to force carb them. Our walk in chiller will cost too much to run at very cold temps, so we've decided to carb the kegs one at a time in a large fridge - where we can easily get down to 37F and hold under pressure for a week to achieve the right level of co2.
Stupid question alert!
When we've achieved the desired level of carbonation in each keg, can we store the kegs at room temp?
What I mean is, will there be an effect on the dissolved co2? It sounds like a stupid question as the keg is pressurised and so can't lose carbonation subsequently - can it??
When the keg is delivered and the temp is dropped to serving temp again, will the carbonation return to the desired level?
Many thanks
