I am a new brewer and kegging rather than bottling. The beer is turning out very good and I am having a wonderful time with my new hobby. However, I am not clear on carbonating properly.
After a couple kit brews, I read Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer. An enlightening read for a new brewer not quite ready to tackle all grain brewing yet. I have enjoyed their recipes. They suggest different carbonation levels for different styles of beer. I understand their terminology but I don't know how to know when the level has been reached. Other reads have suggested that one might apply higher pressure until you are in the ball park and then reduce.
Here's the question.
How does one know if they are even in the ball park? Is it really just a matter of personal preference?
Thanks,
Brian
