Can I force carb cider in a king keg?
Just bought a new one and would rather not 2nd ferment. It's got the s30 top with a Hambledon bard cyl. It says just one squit of co2 to keep the beer (cider) flowing but nothing about more to force carb. Am I right in thinking that the pressure release won't allow enough co2 to get into the cider?
 
A bit rustic but you can just keep gassing it until you hear the PRV leaking gas (around 12psi iirc). Keep the keg as cold as possible and after a couple of weeks you should see some carbonation. Without a regulator and temperature control it might be a lot easier to just prime it?
