Am new into home brewing and have already tried my hand at force carbonating two batches and both times the beer was a little under carbonated. I have read dozens and dozens of online resources and opinions on force carbonating and don't know which route to take. I am in no hurry so shaking the keg vigorously to do it overnight is out of the question because I've read enough about that method being unstable. A lot of people suggest hooking the gas line to the black output side of the keg and letting the gas bubble through. Others say hooking up the typical 14 psi and let it sit anywhere from 3 days to a week. Northern brewer who I buy from says on their DVD just put it at 25psi for three days in the fridge and done.
What is the simplest and most accurate method to use? I don't want to prime the keg with sugar I want to force carbonate it. I am willing to wait a week but no longer since my brewing is done every weekend so when I transfer from keg to bottle I'm ready for the next beer to go into the keg for carbonation.
