Keg - Carbonation was good, now its not?

JoeCap09 · 06-12-2009, 04:12 PM

I am very new to kegging. I kegged a raspberry wheat a couple weeks ago and drank it all week last week. It was perfectly carbonated and tasted great. The problem however is I poured myself some last night and it seems to taste flat and the head wasn't lasting as long as it did last week. I have it set at 14 psi and its been on the co2 for atleast 3 weeks. Not sure exactly time, I don't have my calender with me. I'm puzzled???

Thanks

what temp is your kegerator? is ther 14 psi serving pressure the same as the pressure you used when it was force carbing?

when i first kegged it i used 30 psi for like 36 hrs. The kegerator is at about 35 to 40 degrees. the beer pours at about 40 degrees. Kegged on may 19th. I just don't get how it was good last week all week and then yesterday it just tasted different. more flat.

not sure 14 psi at 40 degrees should be pretty highly carbonated. sorry can't help you.

Have you checked for a leak in your co2 hookup or your keg
