I Have had my beer kegged for a week thr first day CO2 was at 30 psi, day 2 turned down to 20 psi, day 3 down to 10. Tasted it to and it's flat beer has a nice head but taste is flat. Can I chalk this up to a bad batch?
isnt the PSI pressure related to the temp?
The lines are clear line and I haven't seen any bubbles in them.
Yooper,
First off the batch of mead I made turned out good been bottled for about three months now so I'm sure more aging will make it much better as well as the blueberry pomegranate (should have back sweetened though it's a little dry buy drinkable) as for the lines in the kegerator they are about 5 to 6 feet long, the kegerator is in my garage but I live back down in the south now ( not sure if the southern heat has something to do with it or not) the beer is a stout and taste really good just flat. I have the CO2 regulator turned back up to 10 psi for a couple days now and when i first tasted it i poured it out the tap with the regulator set at about 3 PSI also the CO2 bottle is inside the kegerator with the kegs. Do you think the lines are to short?
So your saying pour the beer at 10PSI? And yea the faucets are through the door. I'll change out the length of the hoses In a couple days and see what happens.
Yes I pressure tested it, hooked lines up to up and put sanitizer around all the fittings and it was fine no leaks that I could tell. I'm not sure what is going on. Before I kegged I chilled the wort in an ice bath then kegged it and also let sit in the keg inside the kegerator for two days before hooking CO2 to it. I'm using normal stainless taps through the door with about 5-6 feet of hose. It still has a lot of head when I pour into the frosted mug but beer is still flat.
Ok I'll try that Monday when I get home. The regulator is set at 10 psi now. What PSI should I pour at?
What size hose would be best for the discharge hose?
If its still flat I think I'll chalk it up to a bad batch and try again.
