Right lads I'm new to the whole homebrewing thing but after I bought a Brewbuddy kit and pressure barrel a month or so ago when i had finally brewed it and threw it in the pressure barrel, following all the instructions to the dot the pressure barrel didn't add any fizz at all. I added priming sugar and everything and I could hear the secondary fermentation bubbling away through the pressure release at the top and I figured it was somehow too loose but there's no way to tighten it. I bought a woodfordes admirals reserve kit earlier and it's going in the barrel in a week or so so I'd rather it have a bit of fizz this time, is there something special i need to do to the barrel to prep it or what? It's just a bogstandard 40pint plastic pressure barrel
sorry for any stupidity up there as i said i'm new
