Carbing Sanke type kegs

[Jmac00]

Ok, not new to kegging, but new to the sanke type. I've been using ball lock cornies all along, until now that i've grabbed some 20L sanke kegs. So, i have the kegs and the coupler, lots of CO2, etc. My question is....what is the procedure on carbing these kegs of beer besides going with the natural carbonation method with sugar. Is it possible to just carb it with CO2 like the ball locks???

Ummm, yeah. I do it all the time!

force carb just like you would a corny, except that the maximum safe pressure is 50psi vs cornies which can safely take 100psi.

All mine say 60PSI, either way it should be stamped on the top of the keg. Dunno why someone would think to put over 30PSI in to a keg anyway...

I use sankeys and just set and forget. Works just fine.

I set them at 40psi for 24 hrs, blow off the pressure and turn them down to serving pressure. Usually takes 5 days or so for the beer to taste good after kegging and quick force carb. This is after proper aging for the style.
