Force Carb Temp

Yep, if you don't vent after turning the regulator down, you won't be set at the pressure that is reading. When you think you have it set right, vent a keg and see where the needle lands. Then adjust as necessary and vent a little again. After the first couple times, you'll get a feel for your reg and it'll get much easier to hit your desired pressure with one or two adjustments.

After I'm done with the fermentation and primary and move into my keg, would anyone recommend that I chill the beer in my refridgerator and then force carbonate the beer by high pressure and shaking. I've heard that you can tell when it's done by listening to see when the bubbles stop, but anyways I plan on serving it the next day.

Will a Brewer's Best American Amber need conditioning after primary?

I've never made a beer that hasn't benefited from sitting around longer. It gets better and better, but I guess you'll have to decide when it's good enough. Even if I carb it 14 days into it, I know I shouldn't drink it.
