How to Use a Carbonating Lid on a Corny Keg to Carbonate Beer**
What You Need:
A Corny keg filled with cold beer (ideally 34-40°F / 1-4°C)
A carbonating lid with a diffusion stone
A CO₂ tank with a regulator
Gas and liquid disconnects and tubing
A pressure gauge (if not built into the regulator)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Sanitize Everything
Sanitize the carbonating lid, diffusion stone, and keg using a no-rinse sanitizer (e.g., Star San).
Rinse with cold, sanitized water if necessary to remove sanitizer foam.
Install the Carbonating Lid
Remove the standard lid from your Corny keg.
Attach the carbonating lid, ensuring a proper seal.
Ensure the diffusion stone is fully submerged in the beer.
Connect the CO₂
Attach the gas disconnect to the IN post of the keg.
Attach the CO₂ tank regulator to the gas line and set the pressure to 20-30 PSI.
Begin Carbonation
Turn on the CO₂ supply and let gas flow into the keg.
The diffusion stone will disperse CO₂ into tiny bubbles, allowing for rapid absorption.
Leave the keg under pressure for 24-48 hours, checking periodically for leaks.
Reduce Pressure for Serving
After carbonation is complete, turn off the CO₂ and release excess pressure by pulling the pressure relief valve.
Reduce the regulator to 10-12 PSI (or your preferred serving pressure).
Let the beer settle for a few hours before serving to reduce foam.
Enjoy Your Carbonated Beer
Attach your beer lines and serve directly from the keg!

Tips for Best Results:
✅ Keep the beer cold (CO₂ absorbs better at lower temperatures).
✅ Use a pressure chart to match CO₂ volumes with your desired carbonation level.
✅ Avoid excessive shaking—it can cause foaming issues.
✅ Clean and sanitize the diffusion stone after each use to prevent clogging.
This method **carbonates beer quickly** compared to natural conditioning, usually in **1-2 days** instead of weeks. Enjoy your freshly carbonated homebrew! 🍺
