Force carbing my corny

[Randalicous]

Hello

I have read a number of topics on carbing beer in a corny. My question is this....

On my regulator the max number on the low pressure gauge is 10 bar. I have seen topics stating the reg should be set at 30 bar for 24hrs to carb the beer.

Im guessing I can't do this unless I'm reading the gauge incorrectly and 1bar on my reg, which has ten little strokes between bar numbers actually equates to 10. :shock:

Also, if 10 bar is the max number on my reg, what number should I set the regulator to to carb the beer and how long will it take at these figures?

Thanks

Steve.

NO!

1 Bar is about 15 pounds per square inch.

To force carbonate you're probably looking for about 30 psi, 2 Bar.

Take another look at your dials, there are usually dual scales, ancient and modern.

Are you trying to create a rocket? 30 bar is roughly 435.113213 psi and your corny will only withstand about 100psi. It'll be 30 psi but I would use about 20 psi unless you want to force carb it really quickly

Beautiful.

Thanks....this is why I asked before doing.....I could have drinking my IPA on the moon if I hadn't.

Thanks again :whistle:
