How long are you guys force carbonating your beers before you bottle them? The owner of my local brewing supply shop filters, force carbonates, and bottles 5 gallon batches for $30, and I'm gonna be sending him a batch soon. My question is how does he do it so fast? I drop my beer off to him in a Carboy, and 48 hours later I get the beer back perfectly carbonated and bottled. I've already asked about his type of counter pressure bottle filler and he says he made it himself, won't even show it to anyone.
When I ask how he carbonates his beer so fast he just beats around the bush and tries to explain the volume/temp/psi story, so I know he won't tell his secret. How long are you guys carbonating before you bottle?
