Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to force carb for 3 batches now. All with very minimal effect.
Of the 3 beers I have force carb'd, they all have the same problem. Alot of foam and head, but very little carbonation in the actual beer.
I have a 20# co2 tank setup to a corny keg. The last batch a Blueberry Hef has been on 35psi of CO2 for the last 2 weeks. I don't have a kegerator so I have to carb it at room temp. average room temp has been 65-70 here.
I tried a small sample yesterday. I shut off the co2, changed it to 8psi and then bled off all the extra co2 in the corny tank before turning on the co2 again at the 8psi.
I have the corney keg hooked up to 24in of line and a picnic tap. (could the short line be causing the foam?)
Let me know if you need more info.
