Small nano here - just getting in a stride. I've been distributing kegs - and one of the accounts that tapped 2 kegs said that they had a lot of trouble filling growlers - over carbonated. I'm crediting them for one of the kegs.
I am carbonating kegs in a chest freezer, 9 at a time hooked up to a co2 tank. I read somewhere that setting the psi at 30 for 2 days, then lowering it to 12 for another 2 days would give it a good psi - I tried that - and it obviously didn't work well.
Everything else with my system is working well - beer styles are coming out exactly as I am intending, and every account had good things to say about the samples that I've brought - and placed orders.
I don't have a brite tank, and this is my technique for now. If there is anyone with experience in pressuring individual kegs via co2 tank, I would take any suggestion that you can contribute. If the beers were flowing smoothly, it would all be amounting to a total success. The lines from the tank, to the multi-port distributor, to the kegs are relatively short (5 feet max). Could this be a factor in pushing more co2? This is just one area that I have no approach other than trial and error.
Any help in this area would be appreciated.
