Hi ,
I carbonated my cider at 30 PSI for 36h at 6C temperature.It's the first time I'm using my keg system and the cider is awesome and has the right amount of bubbles, really happy :p !

I am planning to drink that cider keg at a party in 2 month time , how should I store it ?
At the moment I left it at 30 PSI , disconnected the gas and beer lines and the keg is in the fridge.
Is this the right way to store a keg?
thanks!
 
it doesnt really matter, depends on pressure in the headspace. either a little bit more CO2 from the headspace will dissolve into the beer, or a little bit of CO2 will come out of the beer into the headspace. Either way, the amount of gas we're talking about is next to nothing, just disconnect the gas and leave it, she'll be right.

Just store it at your serving pressure... whatever that is.
 
If your system is balanced store it at your serving pressure (which will be you carbing pressure), otherwise store it at slow carbing pressure which should be around 80-100kpa, depending on desired volumes of c02 and storage temperature

There are tables to work this out
