Hey all,
I have a somewhat extensive problem that has been bugging me for some time now. I have been making soda for over a year in the keg (I only make soda) and I still have the same problem - no carbonation is being absorbed by my soda, it all blasts through the lines.
I use a concentrate that is added to the water at a ratio above 5:1 (water to concentrate) and then carbonated. I've carbed anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks with same result. I am trying to bottle directly from the keg with a blichman beer gun. I have a tried a counter pressure filler, but that did not help. I added 25' of tube between the keg and beer gun, but that did not help. I tried using chilled bottles today, but that did not help.
It may be important to mention that I have never made a full 5 gallons. I test recipes using 1 gallon batches that are carbonated in a 5 gallon keg.
My tubing lines only spurt out foamed soda and I am running out of guesses and variables to test. Any help would result in eternal gratitude!
Thanks,
Kyle
