I have forced carbonated using 30 lbs Co2 and agitating the keg, I close the line valve, close the bottle valve disconnect the line shake the hell out of keg (I hulk out for beer) reconnect the Co2 bottle open the line valve it will drop about 15 pounds at first (using a duel gage regulator) then I open the bottle valve and fill to 30 lbs again, kind of like shampooing you shampoo rinse and repeat until no more co2 is going into solution it works well if you need a keg ready NOW but I prefer to adjust my co2 to style and wait about 3 days
