Hoppy Homebrewers of South Mississippi est. I set it to the right pressure according to the temp and shake it times. It is usually close to ready the next day. Quote from: bruck on January 03, , am.
Cold conditioning will only help it. Totally agre with you there. It seems like it should have at least a little carbonation after a week. This might be a stupid question, but did you check to make sure all your valves are open? I usually have several batches of beer in the lineup and since I'm in no hurry I use the "set it and forget it" method. The easiest and most reliable method of force carbonating a keg normally takes around 2 weeks to fully carbonate.
Carbonation charts can be used to ensure you get the exact level you want, with allowances made for temperature. This rough and ready method can have your beer fully carbonated in minutes rather than weeks, and is a popular choice for brewers in a rush. It involves hooking the co2 up to a keg of cold beer, cranking the pressure up to 30 psi, and shaking, rolling or rocking the beer for 30 minutes or so.
Another potential issue is that beer can very easily enter the co2 regulator if the gas tank runs out halfway through, though a check valve on the gas disconnect will prevent this issue. Before serving, release the excess pressure in the keg using the release valve and set your regulator to serving pressure, around 12 psi. The finally method enjoys the best of both worlds, with beer fully carbonated and ready to drink within 3 to 5 days.
After cold crashing, hook up your co2 and crank it up to 30 psi for 24 hours. To speed things up, you can hit it with a burst of higher pressure for a shorter time. For example, 12 hours at 40 psi, or 8 hours at 50 psi. You can prime in the keg and wait the required two to three weeks, or try force carbonating your beer in just a few minutes. To force carbonate the new beer, first decide how much carbonation you want.

You simply leave all the connections on your corny keg just like you always keep them, ie. Just be sure to change the quick connects back. Connect your gas line to the gas post on your corny keg. Check all connections to make sure there are no leaks at any connection or around the seals on the keg.
You can check by spraying some soapy water, or even StarSan on the seals and connections while they are under pressure. Look for bubbles and tighten the connection if found. Adjust the screw on the regulator to set it for 30 psi.
You will hear gas bubbling inside the keg. It will continue for a little while and then stop. Getting started with force carbonation requires only a few pieces of standard equipment. Midichlorians and lightsabers are optional, but awesome. Because it comes with Intertap faucets, a digital temperature controller, rolling casters, tower cooling fan, robust MKIII regulator, and more.
This video course covers techniques and processes for water chemistry, yeast health, mashing, fermentation temperature, dry-hopping, zero-oxygen packaging and more! Depending on how soon you want to drink your beer, and how predictable you want the results to be, you can choose one of three approaches to force carbonating beer. Setting aside your keg at a set pressure takes the longest, but is the most predictable.
Shaking your homebrew under high pressure yields fast results, but can create overcarbonation. And an inline carbonator requires more equipment, but balances the two other methods to create a functional compromise. Whichever method you choose, start things off right. First, install a ball-lock fitting to your kegerator lines, if necessary. This will let you use ball-lock kegs to carbonate your beer. Our recommended corny ball lock kegs for kegging your homebrew.
Simple, lightweight, and easy to clean. Homebrew kegs have two posts. One is for adding gas, and one is for dispensing liquid. The dispenser post is attached to a long tube running all the way to the bottom of your keg. Normally, the gas added through the gas post pushes down on the liquid as the keg empties, making it easier to get all your beer out of the keg.
When you carbonate, the process is reversed because you want to push gas, not pull liquid. The gas will rise from the bottom of the keg and dissolve into your beer. Pushing the gas up from the bottom increases efficiency, speeding up carbonation. Remove the gas socket from the gas line.
Set it aside. Remove the liquid socket from the liquid line, and then attach it to the gas line. Swapping them lets you push gas through the liquid line. The final step is to turn on the gas and check for leaks.
