Can you speed up carbonation times by setting your regulator to desired serving/maintenance levels and shaking/rolling the keg? Or is that a terribly bad idea (ala setting to 30 and rolling)?

Where do you buy your normal beer supplies from? Can you convince them to carry it?

It may have just been a fluke, in that case try again. If it happens again your plastic is most likely the cause and would need to be thrown out. Is your nochill batch doing fine?

How do you go from kettle to fermenter?
