carbonated my first keg!!

[mr magoo]

Well i carbinated my first keg last night and i am enjoying a pint as i type!
thanks to all of you who gave me some advise. I would have liked to cold condition my brew for a bit longer but i just couldn't wait! The carbination was easy, i just purged with gas for about 3mins at about 270psi whilst rocking my keg, then l burped the keg and put the gas up to 300psi and left it over night, then turned it off this morning, pulled my first beer a couple of hours ago and it was perfect!!!!!!! Too easy

I'm surprised you're not dead! Unless you mean kpa instead of psi...

Are there any beer regs that will actually read 300psi, im guessing it was Kpa

Strewth! My reg on the low side conks out at around 88psi!!
If you're using 200+ psi, who needs a reg anyway.

Also can't believe it wasn't totally over carbonated even if KPA were used at those levels & length of time!!!
