Changing co2 volumes, how long?

[Scriv]

Pulled my first pour from my kegerator last night. Beer tastes great, but needs a bit more carbonation. I upped the pressure on the regulator 2psi but I'm wondering how long will it take to equalize?

How much beer in what kind of vessel?
Could take a week if it's a full corny keg...

Cheers!

About 4.5 gallons in a corny. So anytime you change the pressure it's 7-10 days?

It takes time for CO2 to diffuse through the length of the beer column, and as a full 5g corny takes roughly 2.5 weeks to reach equilibrium when cold-carbed under a constant 12psi here, I'm going to go with "Yes"...

Cheers!

Thanks!
