Howdy folks,
long-time reader, first time-poster.
I am used to the old method of force carbonating wherein you set your regulator to the appropriate PSI per temp for around 5-7 days to achieve the volumes of CO2 you are shooting for (i.e. 10 PSI at 34F for 5-7 days to achieve ~2.6 vol CO2).
Recently, in passing, I heard from a brewing peer that that is the inefficient way to do it. He said he sets his regulator to ~20-30PSI at 34F for 6 hours, and his beer is carbed and ready.
I don't want to attempt this without knowing the details a bit more, so I am looking for corroboration and further explanation.
Any wise words would be appreciated.
