Quick carb methods

[Kealia]

Ok gang, I can read a ton of information on methods of quick-carbing but I would rather rely on feedback from people I know and trust.

What I don't want to do is the "shake" method because I don't want to overcarb, but I do want to expedite the normal 'set and forget' method for my NEIPA.

So....let's hear what you guys do and if you have been happy with the results.

I rarely do this anymore because I usually have time but when I do, I make sure my keg is already cold. After I keg, I let it sit at 30 psi for 24 hours, then I drop it down to 20 psi for 48 hours, then serving psi (12 for me) for a day. It's good to go.
I've read where many do 30 psi for 2 -3 days but I don't trust that. Too much of a chance that it will be overcarbed.
As for the shake method, I'm told 30 psi and shaking for 3 minutes is usually enough. I've only done this once and didn't like it so I've never tried it again.

I recently had the opportunity to try a little quick carbing, but there are a lot of variables, so take it with however many grain of salt you wish.

I usually just connect everything and let it sit at 11 psi for a week. But a couple of days after I kegged a fiver, I also kegged a 2.5g batch, so I figured why not try to speed things up. So I ratcheted it up to 20 psi for a day or so. This seemed to work pretty well, but here are the variables:

1) I had already connected the 5g keg a couple of days earlier, so it had a chance to partially carb.

2) I've noticed that the 2.5g keglets seem to be ready sooner than the week that I give the fivers.

3) I was running low on my CO2 tank, although I don't know how much this would affect anything.

I am going to try shutting down my other gas feeds and doing a 25-30 psi blast for a day or two when I get a chance. The thing that's always kept me from doing it was that I was already drawing from a keg that was properly carbed at 11 psi for a week and was maintaining. But I figure a couple of days at static pressure won't harm anything, and I'll get to see how the quick carb method works.
