I havent had much luck finding a chart out there that shows psi, desired carbonation levels, temperatures AND days/hours. Sorry if this has been asked a million times before.
I have a full kegerator right now and two kegs sitting in my brew room full (just kegged). I dont need the two kegs in my brew room for a little while as I have 5 kegs on draft in the kegerator. I would like to slow carbonate the two kegs at room temp so that when the next one blows, I'll be able to make a smooth transition. So, at 61-62 degrees in my basement brew room, how much psi should i set the kegs at to obtain, say 2.2 carbonation volume or level?
I was thinking around 20 psi for 1 week would do it, or even 10 psi for two weeks? Not sure. I normally stick the keg in the kegerator, crank to 35 psi around 7 or 8pm and then sample the next day around the same time. Then just leave it at 12 psi and whala.
