When should I Force carb?

I have an alt i recently kegged and lowered the temp to around 48*. I plan on lagering it there for at least 3 weeks. Should i force carb now, or wait till it's done lagering? Does it make any difference?

No difference that I've found. I force carbed while I lagered my last Alt. I can't imagine why it would matter.

At minimum, purge the O

and pressurize every now and then enough to ensure good seal.

My first and only lager was force carbed while lagering. It appeared to have no noticable effect. I did it at the recommendation of other members on this forum.
