Some notes found on the interweb about kegging and force carbonating root beer. Planning to try the first method tonight because it's the fastest.
=======================
Nearly Instant Soda (about 10 minutes)
Put in keg
6-7 pounds of ice
soda & sugar
water to fill
CO2 35 psi
shake until the ice cubes have melted and/or the regulator has stopped squealing.

=======================
I've been making sodas (including root beer) for a few years now. I've found that a CO2 volume of at least 3.0 produces a very desirable foamy head in root beer and appropriate "zing" in other sodas. Anything below that leaves the soda tasting weak. I carbonate in tank, using a carb stone, chill the tank to at least 33F (careful you don't freeze it, no alcohol to act as a buffer), and keep the head pressure of the tank around 15psi. Works great!
