I am working on force carbonating my second kegged beer and am curious/nervous that I am not doing this properly. The first time around I was dumb enough to leave the valve shut off and didn't let CO2 into the keg initially. After turning on the CO2 I left both the keg and CO2 in a fridge for a week to finish. In the end after correcting that mistake the beer turned out ok but did not seem to be perfectly carbonated.
This time around my beer has just finished fermenting and has been transferred into my corny keg, my CO2 pressure is set to 30lbs and has been on for 1 day now. Every so often I will go out and shake the keg to attempt to mix the gas into the beer. Ideally I will let this go for another 6 days then disconnect the CO2 and have freshly carbonated beer.
However my confidence is very low right now and I feel I may be doing something or several things incorrectly, any advice will be appreciated.
