TIA

Checked my fridge temperature, it is just a hair under 32F. So it was at 15# for 19 hours, then it sat at 10# for a little more than 1 day, just turned it down to about 3-4# now. Will let it ride for the week, and see what is like on the weekend.
That's pretty cold. Nice to lager that low but serving most beers between 36 and 40 should be good for most styles. Flavors disappear when it's near freezing. It's great for canned lawnmower beer right from the ice chest on a hot day but something you intend to enjoy the flavor of will do nicely with a little warmer temp.Checked my fridge temperature, it is just a hair under 32F.
You can go either way, I normally set my hoppy beers at 30# for 2-3 days. With this porter I wanted to carb it up slow.I'm kegging a porter this weekend, dont quite understand , do I put it at the low pressure for several days or pump it high then drop it?
