Carbonateing while at Lager

[Gunrunner]

(My first lager) I have a Pils in a keg that is at lager. I know that it should go a bit longer, but my question is can I hook it up to gas and get it carbonateing or do I have to wait it out?

Sure, I carb my lagers that way all the time.

 

[Gunrunner]

Thanks. I hope I can wait once it is carbed. I might have to sneak a taste.

No harm in sneaking....

No harm in sneaking....

Unless.......................by the time the lagering period is over, the beer is almost gone!

ooooo...that's "sampling"! Not sneaking!
