It is not a matter of how long it takes to reach equilibrium but to acquire it as close as possible so not to change the brewers' specified CO2 volume for the beer. Such that you will not detect a flavor and/or dispensing issue.

This is accomplished by knowing what this product's recipe for gas content is, it's temperature at the keg, maintaining this temperature from the keg to the faucet 24/7, and applying the appropriate PSIG to include "push pressure".

The above is not as easy as it sounds. Although the closer you come to abiding by this rule, the more successful you will be at enjoying your brew for the life of the keg (less shelf life & system cleaning) with minimal waste.
