I've been searching and reading a ton of different posts, but I wanted to see what you all thought about the following: I'd like to carbonate a hefeweizen in 2 days in my corney keg with 40psi at 50F (without rolling/shaking the keg), then using a beer gun bottle up a 6 pack of cold beer and ship it out the next day, which means that the beer will be shipped warm and most likely won't be chilled again until 5-7 days later. Does this sound like it will work? Will the beer be carbonated enough and will it (i.e. - the beer and the carbonation level) definitely be ok going from cold (carbonating) to warm (shipping) to cold (drinking)? This will all have to take place within 3 days and I just want to make sure that I'm not in over my head here.

Thanks,
John
 
when i bottle from keg i tend to over carb a little in keg cuz i know im going to lose a little while im struggling with the damn capper, i make sure it foams a little while im capping to push all the o2 out. oh, and turn ur serving pressure down when bottling. when all ur bottles are filled, leave them at room temp over night then box. if u box them cold they will sweat and can cause soggy cardboard and perhaps mold.
