CO2 into headspace to roughly 2/3 final pressure (ie. I go to 10psi initial with a 15psi final target)
CO2 into rotameter (under $100 Canadian). Line out to carb stone. Set regulator to calculated value (target psi for temp and volume+whetting pressure+1psi for every 18" of beer in tank (might be 28", will have to go back to my notes). For my tank this means setting to 20-22psi on regulator.
With all gas valves open, adjust rotameter to a suitable flow rate. Small tanks and stones usually take a lower flow rate. Larger tanks can take higher. For my tanks, I set the rotameter just above 5 liters/min and make sure that the little bead is vibrating.
For my 1Bbl pilot tanks I set head pressure to 8psi, regulator to 15psi and rotameter to about 2 liters/min.
