Hopefully this is the right board. I figure carbonation at lagering temps goes under bottling/kegging. I have a batch that seems to have DMS issues.
I've heard about a process called "scrubbing" where if you run CO2 through a carb stone or something similar with a vent to allow gas to escape the vessel it will bring DMS out of the beer.
There doesn't seem to be much information about this online from a homebrew perspective, I'm curious about how long it would take, whether it's better to use an open vent or a PRV/spunding valve, and whether it matters what temperature and pressure you do it at. My naiive idea of how it do it is I just set the pressure of the CO2 regulator higher than I've set my spunding valve and sniff the gasses that it releases and hopefully they smell like DMS and then pretty soon stop smelling like it.
I would be doing it with a Spike CF10 and the matching carb stone. I'm also wondering if I raised the temp would it undo the lagering I've already done (3 weeks almost, I achieved a good hop separation using a mesh bag but have not dumped the yeast cake)
