First, I am newish to kegging (put my 3rd keg in the fridge this afternoon).
Second, yes, I searched the forums for a while and didn't find any discussion regarding a method of force carbing I want to try tomorrow.
And C, I am impatient. Also, I've had inconsistent results with setting to 30psi and shaking (overcarbed a beer big time, but it was a crappy, under-attenuated wheat that I gunned into some bottles and stuffed in the basement where they're serving time-out for being bad).
What if I set the regulator to 12psi (which is a balanced carbing/serving pressure the way I'm set up) and shook a cold keg until the regulator stops hissing? Theoretically, would this produce a beer carbed to 12psi quickly? The agitation will force the CO2 into solution and when the regulator stops, wouldn't it mean the solution has absorbed all it's going to and I am at equalibrium?
Just a thought... I am sure there's something I am not considering.
