Hear me out on this one.
Its often mentioned here and elsewhere about the dangers of force carbonation through vigorous shaking while applying large amounts of c02 pressure. Mostly that it is very easy to overdo the carbonation in your beer. Yet, the set and forget method can take too long if you have a time constraint and the beer has already been conditioned.
Am I missing something, or can I blast a keg with pressure, shake the **** out of it, blast it a few more times and then hook it up at serving pressure? The idea being that you under-carbed it, but will reach serving pressure sooner because there is already a significant amount of c02 in the beer, maybe shaving a few days off the process.
Or does everyone already do this and you're all looking at me saying "who brought this guy to the party?"
