Heads up...it will take longer if the beer is not chilled as cold beer chills quicker. A warm keg placed in the fridge will take a day or so to chill and therefore 24 hrs may not get you there...just my .02

I sure hope cold beer chills quicker. :-P

I cold crashed at about 32-34 in my big fridge before kegging. Once kegged, it's been sitting at around 36 for 2 days. I let it sit at 30psi for 24hrs, reduced pressure to 12psi and drank a glass to test. Wasn't sure so I drank 3 more:-) . It's not fully carbed but getting there yesterday. I'll check again this evening. Man I love extract cream ale. 10 days and drinking it. this is my go to brew that I like to keep on hand. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't let all of my beer run out before starting my next batch. I'll not let that happen this year or never again!

It will carb pretty slow at only 12 psi...if need be I would boost the pressure a bit...superbowl is only 30 hours away and at 12 psi you will not get much carbing in such a short time...sounds like your getting the hang of it.
