I kegged my pale ale on August 24, purged with CO2 to get rid of the O2 and put in Keezer at 25psi for 48 hours. On August 26 I turned the pressure down to 12 psi (my serving pressure) and let that sit until August 29. I knew it wasn't quite a week but I thought I'd give it a sample. It was flat as all get-out. No head on the beer whatsoever. I turned up the gas to 15 psi until last night, 9/1, and sampled again. Same thing. All I get are those large clear bubbles on top of the beer, still super flat. I turned it up to 25 psi last night and will leave for a few more days. The temp in my keezer is 40 *F. What's going on here? I've never not had a beer carbonate within a week. I sprayed the seal on the corny and the posts to check for leaks but do not detect anything. Incidently, this was the first time I'd used StarSan. Normally I use Iodophore. Loved the StarSan and I'm sure it has nothing to do with this problem. Here is the recipe I brewed: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/cascades-orange-pale-ale-84558/
Please help me get to the bottom of this.
