Bumping this thread to ask a question here...
Why wouldn't you be able to force carbonate using the gas manifold? Unless I'm just misunderstanding "force" here...
If you wanted to carbonate 2 using a manifold...2 ales, say, could you not have one hooked up to serve at 10-12 PSI while the other was sitting under that same pressure for a week or two to force carbonate?
This only wouldn't work if you wanted to use the high pressure/rolling/shaking method while serving the other beer right? (manifold = 2 or more lines but all under same pressure?)
Thanks!
