I should have asked this question earlier, befor I was gassing my 4th keg, but how much headspace do you guys allow in a cornie when force carbonating (or priming for that matter)?
If there isn't enough room for C02, you obviously cannot get enough into the canister to force it into the beer. The last keg I filled, I only left about 3 inches of headspace, and then had to gas it to around 4psi and shake it 5 times before the keg quit taking morre gas. Next day it took more etc.
So what's the correct amount of headspace to leave to allow for anough C02? Or should I just use multiple gas applications like I did last time?
