I just want to confirm that all I need to do to force carb a keg is crank of the gas to about 30 psi for 24 hrs? Then dial it down to normal levels? Thanks.
SO just to confirm as I see conflicting information. I can leave the gas line connected to the in port correct? Some posts I see say to connect it to the out post and change to a black connector.
Personally, I'm on the set-and-forget team. Sometimes i go a little high (20psi) for the first day, but IMO, two weeks of cold conditioning time does great things for the beer so I want to leave it in the keezer for that time anyway.
I am sure once I have come beer in a keg I will go to more a set and forget, but I am anxious to get my first batch ready for tasting

I use the Last Straw bottle filler to bottle from my kegs. I follow my process listed above and bottle at what it's set to. Usually 12psi sometimes 10psi, but I don't lower the pressure to bottle and just leave it at the serving pressure.
I know it's a different filler than what you're using @xpops but thought I should share.
And it doesn't create too much foam bottling at that psi? It sure would be quicker....
48 hours at 32psi is my goto method.
vent and set at 10-12psi. already at serving temp due to coldcrashing.
enjoy.

Do you get any "carb bite" drinking it after only 2 days at that high of PSI? or do you still let it settle at serving psi for a few days to mellow down a bit?
.... a little over two gallons and the other around three....less headspace....
Speaking of batch size, I plan on doing a lot of split batches. Basically a pretty generic wort and the. Change up the flavoring hops in dry hopping stage. I have 5 gallon kegs but still need one more and wonder if it would be better to get a 3 gallon keg so there is less headspace? Or does that matter?
