CO2 kegging

[mdavis21]

I've done a few home brews now into kegs and find when I am blasting it with CO2 that I need to do it a few times before it is carbonated enough. Any suggestions?

You mean other than leaving the lines connected or naturlly carbing?

Your beer is eating up the CO2 and asking for more. I recommend 2-3 oz sugar and leave it alone for 2 weeks.

Thanks. What I do now is burp it w/ CO2 on that side to force air down then reverse the lines and blast the CO2 up the beer side. Shake for a few minutes let sit a few hours and should be good to go. I always a have to do this 2-3 times though

leave it hooked up to your co2 line, at the recommended psi for the volumes of co2 that the style requires, for 2 weeks. Drink, enjoy!
