Alright Guys. I need your help. As much as I can get. I am new to brewing and new to kegging. I decided to go all out from the start. I have purchased the beginnings of a keezer, got a CO2 tank, two kegs. Newbs paradise.
I have an IPA in the keg. Let it cool down and then read around on here for the best way to Force Carb. I hooked the gas line up, put the keg on it's side. Rolled it for 4-5 mins. The gas sounded like it was going into solution. I unhooked the gas, put it back in the keezer and let it sit over night. This morning I went to let off some CO2.... and there was hardly any in there. Is this normal?
I think I am losing some CO2 when I have the gas hooked up, but I soaped the keg top and the stems and no bubbles. "Beer Geek Nation" said I should have beer coming out of the release valve and that when it stopped, to hook the lines back up at serving pressure and let it sit another 24 hours.
Let me know what y'all think... any help would be awesome, this beer is gonna break me.
