15psi rated brite, how to up the carbonation level

[Sheets22]

Also, can someone explain how bleeding CO2 helps you get more of it dissolved in the beer? Seems counterintuitive at best.

thanks and good luck, I'm enjoying your recent posts.

If you're carbing from stones set at the bottom of the brite as most are set-up, you're able to keep the head pressure at the same psi while constantly introducing more to the actual beer rather than allowing most of it to just sit on top. Of course you could use the no-bleed method and it will dissolve the same amount of c02 into the beer, it will just take much longer. We're able to carb 40+ bbls in just 4 hours this way.

If you are bleeding CO2 in a Walk in cooler, when should you get worried about too much CO2 in the room?

When your CO2 alarm goes off...

...and if you don't have a CO2 alarm where there is a good likelihood of high levels, then I'd suggest buying one!

With cold temperatures and the potential for increasing CO2 levels quickly (eg. a line leak) the CO2 will layer at floor level. CO2 asphyxiation is almost instantaneous, so when you go unconscious and fall to the floor, you'll be falling into high/fatal CO2 levels.

Alarms should be sited 10-12" up from the floor and cost around $300

To be safe, maybe bleeding in a walk-in is not the best idea unless you get some kind of ventilation system. However, you will most likely know right away when the co2 is too much when your eyes literally feel like they're on fire and you can't catch a breath. Much like sticking your head in a purged fermenter.
