This is probably an easy question for someone, but seeing as I've never done it, I'm a little confused. I'm still somewhat new to kegging (about to keg my 5th batch) so I'm still learning.
I made a double IPA for a friends birthday party coming up in a few weeks. It will be ready to keg here in a few days, but I really don't have the room to spare in my refrigerator unless absolutely necessary.
Can I still carbonate my beer even though it's not at serving temp, or will it cause problems? I'm assuming it's no big deal since you carbonate bottles at room temp, but I wanted to be positive before I hook the CO2 up.
It will be sitting at room temp (might get up to higher 80's next week) until the 27th. I will be bringing it to his house early on the morning of his party to stick it in his fridge. Are there any issues that could come from this?
carbonation question.
