Keg pressure

[SerLung]

Hey!

Can someone please share a keg pressure V time it takes to carb a keg?

It's been a year since I've kegged and I want to do an overnight carb. 250kpa ok?

Can someone also please give me the "correct" method to instant carb by rolling the keg etc?

Cheers,

Matt

There is a lengthy post if u search for it but basically, connect the gas line to a beer out disconnect and connect to beer out fitting. Turn regulator to 300 kpa and shake for 1 minute only. Disconnect gas. Leave keg to stand ( I usually leave for at least a few hours) when ready to drink, vent head space and add gas at pouring pressure.

I do similar to razz, more like 400kpa tho.

I give it about 120 shakes aiming for 2 per sec, then leave for a minute while I stop puffing, purge excess pressure and connect to serving... Ballpark 90 to 100kpa for most pa/ipas.

Good after 24hrs, much better after 48.
