Carbonating Keg with priming sugar question.

[Sediment]

Just received my kegerator equipment and c02 and was going to naturally carbonate my first batch with priming sugar.

Was reading about sealing off the keg with co2 after the beer is in the keg with the sugar.

Do you just do a quick shot (a second or two) of c02 and then bleed it off?

What's your process for that?

You don't want to bleed it off- just a shot and purge a couple of times first to purge out any oxygen that may be in there. Then I give mine a blast of co2 at 30 psi or so to seat the lid. I also spray some star-san around to makek sure there are no leaks on the lid or posts. Then I take it and put it someplace to condition for a couple of weeks.
