Hello all,
These questions go out to anyone who uses a corny type Keg setup.
So I have recently invested in a 10L Dark Farms Keg, pictured bellow. I have followed all the advice online and have forced carbonated the Porter in the keg at 25psi. I have connected up the tap and it seems nicely carbonated. Picture bellow.
Here is where I have some questions...
1. The regulator (universal regulator) still reads 25psi. I have turned the gas flow off. Do I now depressurise the keg down to 0psi and then build the pressure back up to a serving pressure of 10psi?
2. When I am not serving, maybe even for a day or so, do I need to disconnect the regulator and or the tap from the keg completely, or can I just leave it/ them on the keg for the duration, until I break the keg down to clean.
3. Do I need to turn the pressure on, keeping a stable flow of pressure at 10psi each time I want to serve a pint?
4. Is it best to naturally carbonate the beers with sugar or whatever, as I do in my plastic king keg. Or is it best to only force carbonate in this type of keg set up?
Any advice would be really helpful. I am a total newbie when it comes to using this type of keg set up.
Thank you so much.
