I'm pretty new to kegging but I have found about a week at 10-12 psi get it carbed but still a little green

My system is balanced so that I essentially set the pressure to what is appropriate to properly carb the beer and just leave it that way even when I serve. But I can typically have carbonated beer in about 5 days. If I use the quick method (i.e., 30 PSI for about 2 minutes while I shake/roll the keg), it's sometimes ready in a few days. But it's never perfectly carbonated until about a week.

Check out the stickies on the bottling/kegging board. That's where I gained all of my information when I started using a keg a little over a year ago.

I always force carb a bit and can drink the next day. I get the beer cold, pressurize to 30 psi, and then shake it down to 25 psi 4 or 5 times. I force on the lighter side and then have the brew get up to ideal levels over a couple days, the minor force just gives it a good jump start. this is just for carbonating though, usually at least a few weeks after brewing so taste is usually at a consistent level.
