Hi,
I am fairly new to kegging (only drinking my second kegged batch) & both seemed undercarbonated, even though I set everything based on the charts available for style/temp/psi.
Right now, I have a APA tapped at about 12psi & around 38 degrees, but after about 10 days now it seems undercarbonated, like my last batch a Cali Common. There is plenty of head (about 2 inches worth), but the CO2 in suspension seems weak. When I first pour, I am only seeing a minimal amount of bubbles surfacing. I would have expected more in suspension carbonation at this point.
I'm not really sure where to go from here as I thought I was following the guidelines I've read about. Does anyone have any ideas to help this? I have a pilsner conditioning & I definitely don't want this issue with that one. You can get away with an undercarbonated APA, but not so for a pilsner....
Thanks for any advice you all may have!
