Several folks have suggested leaving the keg hooked up to CO2 while shaking. This will speed up the carbonation process but also increases the risk of over carbonation, so be careful not to overshoot! Our keezer is completely full and we don't have room to shake the kegs while the gas is connected, so we pull the kegs to quick carb.
I did not see you purge the keg with C02 before filling the keg either. You need to do this a few times to get rid of the oxygen. Keep it on C02 while rocking it. However, best result is to leave it at around 40psi for 24 hours, then drop it to 12psi.
What I do (who knows if it’s best but it works) is cold crash, then I have 1 line of CO2 that’s about 10 feet long. Hook it up at 40 psi and shake for usually 1:30-2:00 mins. Let sit for 30 mins, then purge to serving pressure, bout 10-12 psi and you’re ready. If it’s too carbed just shake a bit (unhooked of course) and purge completely. Try again until it’s right.
When i carb i would set the regulator to 30-40psi and rock the keg back and forth while connected to co2 tank for 3 minutes tops. Then purge extra pressure and set to serving psi. It always works in less than 5 mins.
Hey man, loving the videos. One suggestion: fill the keg with CO2 before racking beer into the keg. Idea is that you created a CO2 rich environment, so the beers don't oxygenate as you add the beer into the keg.
I usually calculate pressure depending of temperature and level of CO2 which I need, for instance I need 2.0 CO2, so 1.5 Bar pressure@17 C, and shake it for 15-20 minutes, after that I put it to the cellar for one week (ageing depends of beer style) and for IPA it`s very nice. I mean fermentation 14-21 days and ageing+carbonization 7 days. Everything is o`k :)
With cold beer in the corney, I like to agitate with the CO2 connected at 40 psi, this continuously feeds CO2 to be dissolved into the liquid. Fully drinkable after 2 hours! Try it. thanks for the video!
Well that seems like a lot of work... I usually crank a regulator to 30 PSI and rock the cake while connected to the CO2 supply for about 1 minute 30 seconds if I'm feeling crazy maybe two minutes. At that point is pretty much good to go. But to each his own
Way late on this but this is exactly what I do. Same pressure and time too. I shake it up in the morning before work on a Friday and let it sit in the keezer all day while Im gone. Perfect carbonation for me every time when I come home.
What is the point of quick carbonating a keg of beer? I have done this 3 times and all 3 times I thought it was not only a waste of time but actually ended up with over carbonated beer PLUS if you just put the beer in the keg from the fermenter it takes at least 7 days for the beer to even start tasting half way decent. I cold crash all my beers and then keg ,put 10 psi on inline and purge tank 3-4 times of air and let the keg sit for 7 days minimum.To Me the beer really starts tasting good after about 2 weeks in the keg,best after about a month. If you like drinking green beer and more times than not over carbonated beer your method would work. " Patience is a virtue"!
We often need to get a beer on tap quickly so we can do a tasting video. We also run a company so schedules are important--if we have time to film a tasting we often need it on tap ASAP. I often slow carb when I brew at home because I don't have any deadlines with those.
I've never had luck with the shake method. I've either overcarbed or for some reason, the beer is flat the next day. So, I just do the Brulosophy method now. 30-35 psi for 24 hrs, bleed it, turn down to serving pressure for a day. And you're good to go. Pro: Haven't overcarbbed. Carb usually stays in the beer. Con: It takes 2 days instead of 30ish minutes. Cheers!
When you say you’re gonna leave it set at serving pressure. Is that with the Co2 connected constantly or just hit it with the serving PSI and then disconnect the Co2?
Nice video! I had one problem following your steps: When shaking Keg connected at 25-30 PSI, beer from Keg start to escape from Keg through the co2 hose to the co2 tank and I had to stop. Any clues what's happening or what I'm doing wrong?
I was expecting the D.E.N.N.I.S carbonation system Drain the old beer out of the keg Empty the fermenter into the keg Next connect a carbonation stone lid that is available online for less that $30 Next hook up the CO2 to the carbonation post Iphone timer set to 15 minutes at 100kPa Serve
I find the "low and slow" method to be much better for carbonation. With that said, if you want your beer carbonated quick you can just leave your gas connected and rock CO2 into solution. I'm not fond of it because you can overshoot carbonation that way and have a metallic "twangy" tasting beer and that's no bueno...
Let me see if I got it. Hook up to co2 and crank up to 30psi, rock the keg for 1:30 minutes. What do I do next? Should I just lower the psi to like 12psi and keep in the kegerator and it should be go to go after a few hours or a day?
Kevin Maynard Thats the way to do it. I can keg, force carb, and be drinking it in 10 minutes. But you have to keep the co2 hooked up while you shake it for 3-5 minutes! MUST
Good suggestion. The space in our keezer is maxed out, so there is no way to shake while hooked up to CO2, but i'll put this suggestion in the notes section for folks who do have the ability to do this!
We have 2 different line lengths. One for stouts and porters and another for everything else. Serving pressure is 10ish for darker beers and 14ish for lighter. We just used a line length calculator (online) to figure it all up.
I love this method! Perfect carbonation in 15 mins!! So i got a nitro setup for my kegerator for christmas and will be brewing a stout as soon as i get all my ingredients. I have been seeing a few vids and articles on force carbing with "beer gas" and basically am curious if you have a method for this quick carbing but for a nitro setup. Everything ive read basically says that when using beer gas only the CO2 actually goes into solution and the nitrogen created the creamy foam/head. Can i force carb with pure CO2 but then just dispense with beer gas? Any info would help, Thanks.
I mean you should wait 4 weeks before you even tap your keg it well still be green it well carbonate well before it's ready and you save gas to I set it to like 12 psi (that would depend on your temperature) and tap 4 weeks later trust me it's worth it I used to do that too never again
Hey when you mean set it to 12psi, do you mean fill it with Co2 to 12 psi and then disconnect the gas line? Or leave the line hooked up for 4 weeks so it’s contasntly getting a 12psi supply as the Co2 gets Incorporated in the liquid. Or do you periodically hook it up and top it off to 12 psi. New to kegging so figuring that out. And how do you store your kegs after carbonation is done and you’ve poured a few beers out? Thanks!

Aren't your corny kegs rated to 40. PSI? Try a new technique. Yours sucks
I would not leave my gas hooked up when laying the keg down because that's a great way to get beer in your gas line.
When i carb i would set the regulator to 30-40psi and rock the keg back and forth while connected to co2 tank for 3 minutes tops. Then purge extra pressure and set to serving psi.
It always works in less than 5 mins.
It is great that Dennis from It's Always Sunny is a homebrew guy. Got real old since last season tho.
Clayton Maxwell ha, I thought the same thing when I first seen this guy
He's a five star man.
I thought the same thing!

Connect and leave.connected at serving pressure and rock until cant hear the bubbles entering the keg. Works and no risk of over carbonation
This is the 50th best quick carb video I have ever seen. Maybe 51st.
A Keezer Built video would be pretty great. I'm thinking of upgrading from my 2-keg kegerator.
Patience is a virtue..
Great video. Trying this today because I’m impatient 😂
My formula is 30 PSI for 48 hours, purge, then set to 8-12psi and enjoy.
do you connect gas to beer out or gas in?
Brian Schneider but he is making it ready in 30 min not 48 hours.
Well that seems like a lot of work... I usually crank a regulator to 30 PSI and rock the cake while connected to the CO2 supply for about 1 minute 30 seconds if I'm feeling crazy maybe two minutes. At that point is pretty much good to go.
But to each his own
We will give that a shot-- I'm all about easy.
This is exactly what I do
Newbie here....... will this work for all types of beer ??
Ru Ma yes
Way late on this but this is exactly what I do. Same pressure and time too. I shake it up in the morning before work on a Friday and let it sit in the keezer all day while Im gone. Perfect carbonation for me every time when I come home.
can you reduce the Pressure after you reach desired carbonation to maintain carbonation and avoid over carbing? or do you leave it at 50 PSI?

How does a gravity pump work? Naturally carbonated beer.

So, I just do the Brulosophy method now. 30-35 psi for 24 hrs, bleed it, turn down to serving pressure for a day. And you're good to go. Pro: Haven't overcarbbed. Carb usually stays in the beer.

Where i can find this method? What is the temperatures in both days and what is the pressure in the second day?
Dang, girl! You should do a keezer build video!
What pressure do you set to release the beer? And do you Purge the keg's head before attacking the beer line?
When you say you’re gonna leave it set at serving pressure. Is that with the Co2 connected constantly or just hit it with the serving PSI and then disconnect the Co2?
Nice video! I had one problem following your steps: When shaking Keg connected at 25-30 PSI, beer from Keg start to escape from Keg through the co2 hose to the co2 tank and I had to stop. Any clues what's happening or what I'm doing wrong?
Hi
would you mind share your experience about connect gaz at outpost liquid connection pls?
tks
Dennis from Sunny in Philly is a homebrewer!?
I was expecting the D.E.N.N.I.S carbonation system
Drain the old beer out of the keg
Empty the fermenter into the keg
Next connect a carbonation stone lid that is available online for less that $30
Next hook up the CO2 to the carbonation post
Iphone timer set to 15 minutes at 100kPa
Serve
I hook up the gas and set to 30psi and rock on it's side for 5 mins or so then taste. do it for longer if necessary it works pretty good.

Love your videos. What size is your kegerator in cubic feet?
Great tips,cheers. 🍺👍
Get a longer gas tube, 50 for 30 spot on for me.
I haven't did it yet. I thought to quick force carbonate it, the keg has to be hooked up during agitation.
Let me see if I got it. Hook up to co2 and crank up to 30psi, rock the keg for 1:30 minutes. What do I do next? Should I just lower the psi to like 12psi and keep in the kegerator and it should be go to go after a few hours or a day?
did you find a solution, as i'm having the same issue
Hey I made some home brew. And my question is that instead of using a ball lock co2 force carbonation. Couldn't I just put it in my kegerator??
Just put a ball lock out on the end of your co2 line. I use the threaded ones.
You look like Dennis Reynolds from always sunny
Leave the co2 on it while you shake it. Works faster.
Kevin Maynard Thats the way to do it. I can keg, force carb, and be drinking it in 10 minutes. But you have to keep the co2 hooked up while you shake it for 3-5 minutes! MUST
Totally agree, @ 50psi you really only need 2-3 minutes and that's just leaving it upright and rocking steady back and forth.
Good suggestion. The space in our keezer is maxed out, so there is no way to shake while hooked up to CO2, but i'll put this suggestion in the notes section for folks who do have the ability to do this!
If you force carb alot, it might be worth getting a separate co2 tank. Find me on kik, we have a big homebrew group. Blubullz
Just add 1, 10 foot line so you can shake outside the keezer
constant 200psi and rock keg back n forth in the upright position for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, leave to settle for 30-40 minutes
Except corny kegs are only rated to 130psi
Whats your serving pressure and line length?
We have 2 different line lengths. One for stouts and porters and another for everything else. Serving pressure is 10ish for darker beers and 14ish for lighter. We just used a line length calculator (online) to figure it all up.
Shake the keg vigorously rather than rolling

Dude, did you just drink out of the same glass that had beer line cleaner in it?! After watching it again I see he had two different glasses.
Nope. That's the same glass. Geez, flush those lines with water. Twice.
If your line was longer you could agitate it while still plugged in
Try that with petainer keg :D
Maybe not :)
Naturally carbonated is best.
Okay, how the heck did you do that and NOT get crazy foam? I carb my beer like that and the foam blast in the cup.
"work program"
god dang its dennis reynolds
Ski jump time!
Ive done this 6 times already with the gas connected and my beer is still flat.
Make sure you have precooled/cold crashed.
Hit it with 40psi and leave it for 24 hours, chuck it on serving pressure and bam! Beer is good to go sir!
I mean you should wait 4 weeks before you even tap your keg it well still be green it well carbonate well before it's ready and you save gas to I set it to like 12 psi (that would depend on your temperature) and tap 4 weeks later trust me it's worth it I used to do that too never again
