Hi im fairly new to homebrewing but i have invested quite a bit of money into it. I already have a kegging system and several fermenters. I did most of my research on your forums and have pretty much found answers to most of my initial questions.
The one thing i am having trouble finding is how to properly force carbonate a porter (which happens to be my second batch currently at the end of week one of primary). I realize that it is still early to keg but i would like to know how it should be done.
My previous batch i chilled the keg down and set the pressure to 30 psi and rolled it around for a bit but i found it difficult to produce the right amount of carbonation.
Preferably i would like a method that would allow me to get the right amount of carbonation while aging my beer properly. I want to prevent my self from drinking the whole keg before it is at its maximum.
P.S I plan on racking my porter to secondary after about 14 days in primary and letting it sit in the secondary for 2 weeks. How long should i let it sit in the keg before it is good to drink?
