I've only kegged about 4 beers on my new system, so there is a good chance I am doing something wrong.
I've noticed that my beers don't seem to have the same 'tingle' of carbonation that I get with commercial brews out of my draft system. I am setting the PSI to about 12 and wait for a week before sampling (I don't do any crazy shaking routines to speed up the carbonation). After about a week, the pour (when still set to 12 PSI) is pretty forceful and creates a hell of a head, but the mouthfeel is pretty flat. I also notice that there is no bubble activity visible in the glass.
Am I missing something? Any tweaks I should make to my carbonation procedure to get the nice 'tingle' on the tongue?
