Odd question that may have been answered before.
Does it take the same amount of time to force carb 2.5 gallons as it does 5 gallons?
I brewed five gallons of Pilsner and decided to bottle half for coworkers to try. I put the other half in the keg and have been force carbing for about 24 hours. Should I expect it to take the same amount of time for half the volume? Logically, it should take half the time because it is half the volume, however I could see it taking the same amount of time because it is still the same volume inside the keg.
Anyway, before I get bogged down with questions, I started force carbing at 30 PSI and will turn it down to about 15 PSI for a few days before dropping it down to serving pressure. Not really shooting for a specific carb level because I made it for me and not to please anyone else.
Thanks for the help
