carbonated my first keg!!

Post by mr magoo »

Well i carbinated my first keg last night and i am enjoying a pint as i type!
thanks to all of you who gave me some advise. I would have liked to cold condition my brew for a bit longer but i just couldn't wait! The carbination was easy, i just purged with gas for about 3mins at about 270psi whilst rocking my keg, then l burped the keg and put the gas up to 300psi and left it over night, then turned it off this morning, pulled my first beer a couple of hours ago and it was perfect!!!!!!! Too easy :P :P
mmmmmmmmm beer................

If you're using 200+ psi, who needs a reg anyway.
