    Looking for a smaller kegging option HELP!

    Thanks for the post, when you use the growlers do you prime them? And do you just drink out of the growler or did you make a tap system?

    Keg Force Carbing Methods Illustrated

    Bobby, Thanks for the reply, I am will do that and see how it goes. So what is the best way to do this? I did have new seals on the keg, should have I purged it with 30 psi at the beginning and that might have sealed it better? I really wanted it to just do the natual carb thing, just like...

    NO CARB!! 25 days old in keg HELP!!

    I will agree that home brew which we carb in the bottle has smaller bubbles, so I guess nat carb does produce smaller bubbles, but my problem is now I have no bubbles but perfectly aged beer, or is it? Does the aging come from just sitting or from the nat carb affect?

    NO CARB!! 25 days old in keg HELP!!

    Yes I purged the tank a 4 or 5 times with the pressure at around 15 or so. I would assume the seals were ok since when I tapped it it had pressure in it, I also checked it once during the 3 weeks to see if it still had pressure and i did. This sucks! It tastes so good too
