I wouldn't be posting this question if I hadn't already done everything I could think of to troubleshoot this issue. I had this happen before last year prior to the same annual party we through and I never figured out what was causing this issue, I thought it was a fluke, but now I am seeming to have the same issue. We have the party coming up on Saturday so now I am starting to freak a bit. Any help is appreciated.
Background:
On Friday I kegged a berliner style sour beer that I had let sit on blueberries and raspberries for a couple of weeks. I set the pressure to 30 psi and left it for 2 days before turning down to serving psi, just as I did with the 3 other beers I kegged in the past couple of weeks.
It is now 2 days later and still have the keg @ 30 psi so I would expect to have some type of carbonation in my beer when I take a sample, but I do not. It could be me worrying and not wanting to wait on this like I did last year but it just seems like I have the same issue as I did last time. If I have an issue now, I want to try to get it corrected so that I can have this thing carbed up by Saturday.
What I have troubleshot so far:
I have made sure that when I pull the release valve, pressure is being released and that CO2 is being put back into the keg. I can hear the CO2 tank refilling the keg so I know that it's going in. Also, the CO2 stops filling when getting to 30psi so I don't think there is a leak. If there were, I would think I could hear my CO2 tank running or feel the lines vibrating as I do when it fills. Where is the CO2 going?
I am out of ideas, am I being impatient? I would just think that after 2 days @ 30 psi I would have some sort of carbonation in the beer!
