Got a force carb question for yall...

For our first beer, we put our kolsch on 15 psi in the kegerator for 1 week. I'd like to cut that down to 4 days if possible. We are heading out of town tomorrow and would like it to carb while we are gone for thanksgiving and be ready to pour on Sunday night when we get back.

This one is a pretty standard pale ale so we don't need anything fancy with the carbing. I was thinking of bumping it up to 20 psi for the 4 days. Any advice?

hook it up, crank it to 40
once you hear it stop filling, disconnect it, and rock it on your lap a few minutes
repeat

I usually rock mine a few times like that then leave it at 35 overnight and it's ready the next day.

If you rock it enough you can probably drink it that night.

You can bump the psi up and rock the keg back and forth every hour or so and speed the process up.
