l.a.
My keg has now been sitting on 30 psi for about 5 days after ramping up the last few gravity points. Well the pressure is still increasing consistently. My relief valve is a little weird and allows the pressure to go past 30 so I just bleed it a couple times per day. I am planning to leave it at 30 psi for at least 10 days assuming it stops rising. Then I'll check gravity and transfer if it is done.

So my question is: Do you determine that the beer is done carbing up on it's own when the pressure stops rising? Or will the pressure go down when it is finished carbing/ fermenting? Or should I just transfer and cold crash after a couple of weeks at 30 even if it is still rising and close to FG?
