Ok so I just finished a 3 week primary on an American Wheat and I'm going to attempt my first kegging operation (5 gal Corny). Like I said I'm a total noob so after reading some of the sticky links, I'm going to state my plan and would love any advice/critiques you guys can offer:
I'm now in the process of a 2 day cold crash, beer in primary. After 2 days, I plan to sanitize the keg w/ starsan, then rack the beer. I then planned on going with a 2 week carbonation while in a fridge at around 32-34 degrees I suppose. So I found this chart:

Seems like I'm looking at the yellow range. What's the best practice, just pick a PSI toward the middle? Say maybe 16 psi for 2 weeks? When going with the 2 week routine do I need to shake the keg at all or no? There's so much info out there, I've become confused on what seems like a simple topic. :cross:
