carb level for kinder weisse?

[volktc]

First time kegging and also never had this style before. I am doing the set and wait method. Keg and c02 both in a fridge at around 40 degrees with my regulator at 12 psi but my concern is the description says effervescent. any tips?

I think I'd carb it at 3 volumes of co2, which would be about 18 psi at 40 degrees. If you have long enough serving lines, that would give you a very effervescent and highly carbed weiss.

Oh, then you'll be pouring glass of foam at 18 psi then. Better not! You'll be fortunate if you can pour at 12 psi, honestly.

So drop it down to 10 or 8? Still.has about 6 days to carb

That's tough, because I dislike flat beer. It'd really be much easier to get longer lines, like 12' of 3/16" line, and serve the beer properly.
