Style guidelines say carb to 4+ volumes. I'm new to kegging and have only done about 3 batches so far. None of which were ever over 2.5 volumes.
Here's the simple (possibly stupid) question: BeerSmith says carb at 34 PSI to achieve 4.2 volumes. But for how long? When following BS carb guidelines does it assume set it and forget it method? And how long do you "forget" it when following that method?
Most posts I found when searching talked about setting to as high as 35 PSI for 36 hours then cutting way back but that seems to be for "normal" carb volumes, i.e. 2.5-3. volumes. I assume I could just double that and end up close but was looking for a little more precision
Thanks
