I just purchase a kegging kit, and converted a shiney new mini fridge. It has a 5# co2 tank.
I have tried to force carbinate a keg of my light lager, and a keg of root beer, neither seems to want to carbinate with high pressure and shaking method, my pressure was set at 45PSI and I shook it for about 5 minutes, then left it sit connected at 20PSI for a couple of hours.
When I got my co2 tank filled the gauge showed the tank pressure to be about 800PSI, I cannot hear or feel any obvious C02 leaks, and my tank is down to 500 PSI, showing "ORDER GAS"
How long should a 5# C02 tank last?
Why aren't my kegs carbinating? (they are chilled, and the kegs are refurbished with all o-rings replaced)
