I have been thinking about carbing my next keg useing the balanced method rather than the "quick carb" ie: hooking the gas up at serving pressure and leaving 10 - 14 days.
The only thing that concerns me is leaving the gas on for that period of time should one have any leaks in the system - though I have checked and all seems OK.
I did wonder if the bottle was turned off overnight would there be enough co2 still present in the regulator to compensate for the amount of gas that would be absorbed into the beer during that period of time? If so the next morning the bottle could be turned on again where one could keep a closer eye on things until confidence if gained in a leak proof system.
