I will be kegging this Saturday morning but have some friends coming over that night and thought it'd be great if I could get this carbed by the night. I've heard of people fast-carbing by shaking...

"Sour" smell, especially if it feels like it's burning your nose/eyes if you get a good whiff of it, could be CO2. Like others have said - wait and see, you're probably fine.

Mine is set to around 0.030 - haven't had any issues with stuck sparge. When I do BIAB I just double-crush instead of readjusting.
