Hi everyone,
First off, I'm brand new to kegging beers. I just bought a second-hand 5 gallon torpedo keg for my first try at a pilsner which is going through its' first day of fermentation as a type this.
I have been looking into carbing methods and it seems to me there are two options: 1. Set and Forget, 2. Force Carb. From what I gather of force carbing, it seems that there is no standard method for what everyone does. I am stuck wondering how people get their beer to the appropriate volumes of carbonation per the style of the beer. This wasn't the question I'd posted this thread for exactly but if anyone can answer this that would be a bonus!
Anyways, I have been thinking that because force carbing seems to be a lot of shooting in the dark that I'd just try the set and forget method. I was wondering if I can lager the beer while setting the carbonation? I thought it could be a "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" kinda thing.
Sorry if this is a pretty obvious answer but I thought I'd ask before I ruined a batch. Thanks!
