Hello,
I am trying to force carbonate my corni keg of kombucha. This is my first attempt at kegging and carbonating.
I am having issues with the actual force carbonation process. First thing i did was fill kegs and chill overnight. Next i hooked up my CO2 line and purged all the O2 out of the keg. Once that was done i laid the keg on its side (gas line down) and proceeded to force carbonate at 30psi while gently rocking the keg back and forth for 2 minutes. I came up with process after researching force carbonation and from all the videos this is one of two ways to force carbonate. Many of the videos i watched, once the the two minutes was up they were able to hook up the beer (kombucha) line and set the CO2 pressure to serving pressure (8-10psi) and serve carbonated kombucha.
Unfortunately, i was able to serve kombucha but none of it was carbonated.
What am i doing wrong?
I know the other way to force carbonate is to hook up the CO2 and leave overnight at a lower pressure (usually serving pressure) and 24 hours later you will have carbonated kombucha ready to serve.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Cheers
