I purchased a TON of homebrewing stuff from a local guy recently. Part of my equipment now consists of a refrigerator converted to a 2-tap kegerator, a mess o' cornies and a co2 bottle with regulator.
One of the kegs he gave me was filled with beer he said he brewed about a year ago...so as a bit of practice I thought I'd learn how to hook the thing up, get a keg carbonated, and see how it all went.
Everything I read said to crank up the co2 to about 35 PSI and shake the hell out of the keg for about a minute, but no matter what I did the gauge never got over about 15 PSI. The beer comes out with a good head, but the head quickly goes away and the beer is still a bit flat.
Anybody have an idea as to what's going on?
