What definition of carbonation do you use?rcdirtbuggy said:I have 3 gallon kegs and for some reason 30 psi then shake never worked for me. what I do is hit it with 30psi shake for 30 seconds, hit it again with 30 psi then shake again for 10 seconds, then hit it again with 30psi and shake for 5 seconds. Let it sit for an hour or so and it's good. Then I release the pressure and serve it at 8psi. works for me everytime. Good luck

A beer with a head on it or bubbly as in a soft drink?

I'm asking what are your results? A head on your beer (bubbles ON TOP of the beer) or bubbles INSIDE your brew (like the bubbles in a soda or pop, depending where you live). Soda is HIGHLY carbonated, but usually does not have a head.
I'm curious because I don't consider a "head" carbonation, hence, I use the "bubbly brew" definition of "carbonation".
