I brewed a batch of honey Kolsch and Keg carbonated to 2.5 vol co2.
Put into kegerator at 50 degrees and let carbonate for 2 weeks at 13 psi.
Lowered the CO2 Pressure to 10 psi to serve at 40 degrees.
Left at that for 2 weeks but thought was a little under carbonated.
Turned pressure up to 15psi and let sit for another week.
Beer was all foam and way over carbonated.
My question is:
I thought once it was carbonated it was done and couldn't be changed. Is appears that is not the case.
Can you always take an under carbonated beer and jack up the carbonation level at anytime?
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Bob
