Hey all
I am new to kegging and at a loss of why my beer and cider is still flat. Ill give you quick info on what I'm using and hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong
-using the ball lock corny kegs
-cleaned and sanitized before pouring in beer slowly
-sealed up beer and pressurized to 12 PSI for 2 weeks (no carb) I jumped up to 20PSI for 1 week (still no carb) and then to 25psig for one more week (still no carb) I planned on doing the set and forget method but its obviously not working.
-checked for leaks (there are none)
-using a 20lb beer gas cylinder
-ive pulled the pressure relief valve a few times and have confirmed that, yes, there is pressure in the kegs
-one keg has a stout (all grain) and the other has a cider (pressed by a local orchard)
-I have bottled both of these before and used the bottle condition method with no issues
-also I'm keeping the beer around 36F/2C
SO what am I missing??????
