Andy Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hey guys Will most likely be kegging my fist brew in a day or so from the droid. I am going the ikegger route with a 10l keg and CO2 carbonation. I would like the beer flavors to mellow for a few weeks prior to tapping...it is the Wicked Night Ale so especially for the spice addition. I believe I read a thread that the consensus is that aging temperature (fridge or room) doesn’t really matter but should I start carbonation before aging or wait until after? Thanks much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much Hi Andy, no let it age in the keg after you have purge it, removing most of the o2. When ready to consume, chill down to serving temp and then carbonate with co2. I normally purge at 30 psi. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to displace the keg sanitizer with CO2 and then fill directly from the droid. Do you do an added step at this point with CO2? Fill to 30 psi and disconnect?
