So I just kegged my first AG batch last night, a Belgian Wit. Everything went pretty well, no major hiccups to speak of, however i've got a few carbing questions that I cant seem to get a good answer for based on my situation.
I transferred the beer, sealed it up, set the pressure to ~14psi, purged the Oxygen and put it in the fridge to cool.
So... on to my questions..
I had considered trying to force carb the brew at a high psi after it cools, but am unsure of the correct method to do so -- It would be great if I can have the beer carbed up and ready to drink by Sunday. I have read multiple threads that mention turning the the regulator up to 30psi after the keg chills, and rolling it on my lap for a minute or two to increase surface area for co2 injection. Is this necessary if I want the beer carbed by Sunday, because i've also read that often times it can be carbed in as little as 4 days at the constant psi required for the appropriate carbonation level. If I do use the force carb and shake/roll method, do I only keep the regulator at 30psi for the duration of the time i'm rolling it, or do I leave it? If so, for how long?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! :rockin:
