Yuhu Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I pitched US-05 into a 1.051 pale ale on Sunday. I have some mates coming to town next weekend and was hoping to have it on tap by then. Is this a reasonable amount of time? Or should I let it condition longer before drinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I believe it would be a reasonable time I have drank some pale ales after a few days in the bottle obviously you have a keg setup. Clarity may not be the best. The fresher the better with pale ales if you ask me good luck and enjoy. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 You should be able to get it done in that time. Just quick carb the keg once it's filled and in the fridge. I usually do mine overnight. Tried the rocking method but I found it too easy to overcarb it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhu Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 I was thinking 30psi for a day then back to serving pressure. Does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I usually use 45 for 20-22 hours then turn the gas off and let it sit for another few hours, then back on serving pressure. But it depends how carbonated you want it. That there gives me pretty good carbonation without being over the top, obviously serving pressure keeps it there.
