I have been kegging for several years now and I get mixed results. Sometimes I over shoot it sometimes under. Now that I'm using beersmith, it says to keg at a certain psi, say 11psi. How long do they mean? Usually I hit it at 20psi for 24 hours and then reduce to 10 for one day then follow with 5 psi for another day. I release the pressure and increase to 3-5psi to draw one beer to gauge absorption. If it's good I leave it and enjoy. If it's too high, I remove pressure and allow some co2 to escape by releasing pressure once or twice a day until I get it to where I want it. I'm just trying to make the process a lot faster with better results. I used to shake the keg but got mixed results that way as well. Supposed to be kegging not legging. Damn autocorrect!
