Right so I'm up an running, Cider needs a few more weeks but IPA already tasting nice. Both need more carbonation so was planning on leaving them at 20psi for another few days.

Is is ok to leave the out attached to the taps while I crank up the PSI?

You can but I'd recommend disconnecting the out when force carbing as you may have a leak. It happened to me once last Christmas eve. Couldn't get gas for a week :(

lash her in fridge at 15 psi for a week, taste and then go up or down depending on how accurate your reg is, just cos it says 15psi on your reg doen't mean it is, just cos it says 5 degrees in your fridge doesn't mean it is ;)

Cheers everything going really well the IPA is lovely, trying to hold off drinking it until closer Christmas is going to be tough. The Cider needs more time and now I've a 3rd keg which also needs more time.

I done the SNPA clone recipe from this site. It's turned out nice, just needs more time I guess -  carbed it at 30PSI for a day then knocked it all off and back to serving pressure to try it, getting a LOT of foam though on the pour. Might just need a day to settle after carbing?

All sorted had a leak in the out post on the keg.
