First time kegging here. I have read a couple different views on how to force carb your keg, and both of my homebrew shops have the crank and shake method.
I was concerned about over carbonation, so I decided upon the set and forget method. I set it to 11PSI at about 41 degrees for my IPA. It was racked to the keg at about 63 deg, set the regulator and put in overnight.
Question is:
Can I agitate the keg and speed up the process, similar to the crank and shake method? If so, what is appropriate for my carb profile above? 2 minutes of rocking? 10 minutes of rolling? Agitating until I no longer hear hissing?
Looking for best practices as I am dying to try out my latest brew, but dont want to compromise quality here or screw something up...
