OK, I just transfered from my secondary to a soda keg.

Beer Smith says:
Carbonation Type: Kegged (Forced CO2) Volumes of CO2: 2.4
Pressure/Weight: 21.6 PSI Carbonation Used: -
Keg/Bottling Temperature: 60.0 F Age for: 28.0 days
Storage Temperature: 52.0 F

Does this mean that I leave it at 21.6 PSI for 28 days at 60 degrees? I normally set it around 10-12 psi for about 4 days.

Thanks...
 
It should be carbonated in a week or so. When you set yours at 10-12psi, I assume you are carbonating it at a lower temperature? If you change the temperature in Beersmith, it will change the required PSI.
 
Ahhh...I'll check the temp in BeerSmith when I get home. It had to have be set really high to suggest 21.6 psi. Yes, my chest freezer is set to 42 degrees. Thanks...
