I love to home brew, but I just don't have the time lately. My wife bought me a Picobrew. It isn't as fun as home brewing, but OK for now. My question....I have always bottled. I never used a keg. I recently brewed a batch and naturally carbonated in a 2.5 Corney keg and it was fine. I would like to try force carbonation. I have a spare CO2 bottle and regulator. What is the best way to force carbonate? Some folks state to set the PSI at 20 for 2 days. Others state to use the out line and force through the beer at 7 PSI for 7 days. (Some opinions stated that this makes no difference). Another stated to use the out line, set to 30 PSI and roll the keg for 20 minutes and it is ready to go. Obviously, there are multiple methods and opinions. What is the simplest method? Extra time is not an issue for me. Any help would be appreciated.
