If you have chosen to carbonate the keg by setting the SERVING pressure and just leaving the science of carbonating to accurate theory then you are on the right track. You may find that the beer will get to a better level of carbonation after a few mor days but no one knows your system but you...

That sounds like that method will suit you. Keg forced carbonation can be daunting at first but you will get used to your system with the temperature and pressures required. Doing it the way you just suggested will let you test it periodically over the two weeks to achieve the sweet spot. C02...

Good point there. I think our OP want to drink it straight away…. and that is where the guess work comes in. Your method or the Ross method still basically needs at least 24 hours, whether applying gas for that time or chilling the beer for a similar time. This time may be too long for the OP.

Mickchap. If choosing to use C02 to carbonate and serve your keg of beer there are a few ways to do it. The first is the guess method that you are using and this info is usually provided by HB shops etc. If using this method the chart is useless. The second method where you will use the chart...

Ok so I see that you are setting a pressure that is higher than the pressure required for carbonation. The desired pressure as indicated on the chart is the pressure that you will apply from the gas regulator to carbonate and serve the beer. The chart can’t help you with your question because...

It is like asking how long is a piece of string. Have a read of the link above and do some calculations based on your actual temperatures of the beer, the style of the beer and the pressure being applied. Draw a line across the chart from the temperature and down from the desired carbonation and...

Mickchap, This page might help you. It has metric and imperial https://www.kegland.com.au/blogs/keglearn/blog-post-set-and-forget-keg-carbonation

Here is an easy beer line length calculator to use. Most of them are in Feet and Inches, this one can do both. https://brewingcalculators.com/beer-line-length/

Welcome here Mick, Here is the basic theory behind carbonating a keg. You need to factor all these points into your system. Here is a topic from many years ago on this very forum explaining how to force carbonate with a real chance of success...

Here is a copy of an email from Grain and Grape. ‌ Keg King Taking Over Wort Kit Production In the weeks since announcing my retirement and the closure of Grain and Grape, I have been overwhelmed by the expressions of support, but also of dismay that our Fresh Wort Kits will no longer be...

Glad you have it working. Sometimes we need another’s eyes to interpret instructions. I think there is instructions for Ubidots. If you do a search on UTube there is an Aussie guy that does a couple of videos on them as well. Most people claim they are very easy to set up.

As many of us did, I started with kits and was lucky enough to meet up with a few all grain brewers from SA in the late 90’s From there on I was hooked. I gave brewing away to travel but ended up settling in NQ and have set up a small shed with mainly new brewing gear. Bit slow to brew regularly...

Have a watch of this vid as it may help.

Hi fellow brewers, Returning to the fold after a 7 year break. I am just becoming familiar with many new methods. When I hung up the mash paddle pressure fermenting was in its infancy, dry yeast was frowned upon, see through fermenters were a no-no, oxygen free transfers were for the big...
