    Great video. I’ve always just put at 12-15 psi for a week and called it good. 😊

  • @BitterRealityBrewing

    Excellent job! I prefer the set and forget for a week+/-. Although, we all know sometimes we are under the gun and have to over-pressure and shake to get it there a bit faster.

    I think at the beginning you mean volumes not bar. 2 bar is almost 30 psi. The average style is 0.85 bar.

    Did you miss bottle carbonation on purpose? I’m a little tempted to add syrup to my keg and let it secondary ferment due to CO2 becoming short in supply here in NZ

  • @GentleGiantFan

    I do the set/forget method, but speed it up. Ex: Instead of 5 days (minimum) at 11psi, I condense it to a couple of days. 1 day at 11psi x 5 days is 55psi. 55 ÷ by 2 is 27.5 or 28 for two days. After two days, i disconnect the gas, turn the regulator down to serving pressure, vent the keg and reconnect.
    If you're ballsy, I guess you could go at 55psi for 24hrs, but I never need beer that quickly so the 2 day method works for me. Been doing this for a few years now.

    How does altitude change the carbonation calculation? We live at 7,100’ in Colorado and do not see an adjustment for altitude on your carbonation calculator. Thank you for the great video?

    Hi, I’m trying to carbonate home made sangria. It’s essentially 60% wine/ 25% triple sec / 15% whiskey. I have zero idea what im doing. But i have the 10L korni keg and the c02 on hand. Can I use the same method shown here? How much pressure should i set the gauges to? Can you even carbonate sangria? 😂

    Noob question here from someone who is planing to get into the hobby. Just assume I'm kegging all my beers. Does it matter what kind of beer whether or not I'm supposed to force carb or not? Is it just a normal thing that you always do? Neipa to lager to weise to stout. Great video learned a lot but this question still bugs me. :)

  • @rayfuller8517
    @rayfuller8517 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    OMG! Just grab the keg end-to-end, hold it horizontally, and slosh it side-to-side. Fully carbonated in minutes. You can literally hear the CO2 flowing thru the regulator and going into solution. It's just thermodynamics!

  • @srlobaugh

    How about using flow controls...either at the keg post or at the tap.

    Thanks Chris and Vito for a great discussion. Being a beginner, here is my question: You have a dozen bottles of flat barleywine(maybe 5 yrs old); any hope of getting a little bit of carbonation into the bottle, so it is more drinkable? Or pour it out and start over!

    please tell, old man here am i crazy for thinking the commerical brewers lowered alcohol content, i always consumed heineken they claim it’s 5% i think not maybe 2% alcohol, but all my friends early in adult life felt the heineken was more than the common american beer at 6.4 % alcohol by volume i assume you are craft brewers using hayseed or raspberry or grapfruit. thanks for sharing how you became brewers

    I have issues with too much head when I pour. I even release the pressure before I pour and still get a lot of head. The beer itself has good carbonation. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Serving at about 2 psi.

    Try a Mojito with and wo carbonation. Would anyone want to dr8nk flat Coke or Pepsi? I carbonate to my preference with a Sodastream carbonation. It's cool once you've made huge messes, but just pressing down once second, let the foam in the qt plastic bottle subside, repeat,...Voila. Five minute carbonation. I also have a vacuum canner dividing a bottle of wine or homebrew into 8 oz Mason jars and refrigerate.
