Hi Guys,
New to using kegs, and first batch is imminent to be kegged.
My question is: Say I have a Wheat beer requiring a 3.4 volume of C02 to carbonate for a week. Using the online calculator for carbonation, that equates to a pressure of say 22psi on the regular.
Once carbonation is achieved do I turn the regulator down to 10-12 psi to serve or leave it at the higher pressure all the time?

Hi mate,

Once i get the beer where i want it to be (i force carb). I turn the PSI down, I figure you only need enough to pressure to push the beer through the lines right? 10-12 for serving is spot on for me.

I swapped my liquid posts over to the kegland flow control versions and shortened my lines from 3 to 1m and now serve at 5-10 psi , took a bit of fiddling to get it right.
