Does 5D mean "burst carbing?" Otherwise C and D are the same thing. Carbonating in the keg *is* "force carbonating." It just takes a couple weeks. If you shake it to speed the process up, you're "burst" carbing it.

[theheadonthedoor]

Yes, I mean when you actually shake the keg up and set it to 30 instead if the normal range. We've never tried it but I hear it makes the beer taste young and with a less pleasant carbonation.

 

[masonsjax]

Oh, I thought C meant priming the keg.
