Question: If you keg a batch and put 11 psi of co2 on and let it sit unrefridgerated and disconnected from co2 will it carbonate over a weeks time or do you need it constantly hooked to 11 psi?
It needs to be constantly hooked up, the CO2 you add will get absorbed by the beer so you need the regulator to keep a constant pressure. But 11 PSI at room temperature is going to yield almost no carbonation. If you want to carbonate at room temperature you need a much higher pressure (close to 30PSI):
