Method correct?
Sorry to revive a really old thread but, I have read through it (and other threads) several times and have learned a lot, thanks! I'm about to carbonate in a unitank for the first time and I want to make sure my understanding of this method is correct.
I want to carb the current beer to 2.5 volumes. The beer will be at 34 degrees. Looking at a carb chart, I need 10 PSI to achieve this level.
I have determined my stone wetting pressure to be 5 PSI.
My plan is to;
1. Set unitank head pressure to just under my desired saturation point so, I'll set it at 9 PSI.
2. Set CO2 into carb stone at saturation pressure + wetting pressure so, 15 PSI.
3. Dial the flow meter in to about half flow.
4. When the flow meter slows to a trickle and the head pressure rises slightly my beer should be in the ball park of 2.5 volumes?
Does this seem correct? If not, what should I do differently for this method?
Thanks!!!
