Hi:
I've been brewing in 5 gallon batches and bottling for about five years. Recently a friend who owns a pub gave me a kegerator so I am experimenting with kegging. The kegerator has two taps but one regulator, so I can't force carbonate at the same time I have a keg tapped for serving.
So, what I am doing is:
Also, After the beer is fully carbonated, if I am not going to serve the bear for a couple of weeks or so, what pressure should I "store" the keg at? I assume if I leave it at 30 psi, it will be way too foamy?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So, what I am doing is:
- Disconnect the input side from the serving keg and connect it to the output side of the new (to be carbonated keg)
- Increase the pressure on the regulator to about 30psi
- Disconnect the gas line from the new keg (it stays pressurized), adjust the regulator back to about 8 psi and reattach to the serving keg.
- Repeat this process a couple of time a day for a few days. (Hopefully this will fully carbonate the new keg)
