thank you!

when it reaches its "peak" at that pressure will it then not take anymore c02 when i shake it? in other words if i shake them for a minute or 2 each day and one day it doesnt make noise then it is done?

i guess i will keep shaking these everyday for a few days and then "test" them. if they seem good i will store at room temp and start carbing the other 2 . i will just have to figure how to get them all cold at once before the wedding. i wonder how long it takes to cool a keg with ice?
