First batch ever, Golden ale - everything went smooth until time to cool down wort after boil. Using anvil foundry - mistake 1. hooked up chiller and water pressure was too high from hose and popped off from clamps and a little water got in wort. Mistake 2. pitch yeast - opened up refrigerator and found smack pack was inflated and fridge stopped working. For how long ? Idk. It was sitting in my fridge for at least two weeks before I found it . Was at 70 f . Said f it and pitched it . No way I could get another yeast in time. Mistake 3. Racked to corny keg to ferment . Rookie me thought that the yeast co2 would build up to 10 psi and hold there with spundit 2.0 sounding valve and hold there . I didn’t have co2 because of supply issues where I live . Watched it for One week with no activity scratching my head! Later found out that the lid wasn’t sealed . Finally got co2 and hit it with 30 psi to seal lid the. Backed off to 12 psi. By then there was no activity. Fast forward to 4 weeeks later in kegerator sitting with 12 psi and forced carbed a couple times and it’s still flat. Smells and tastes like beer just no carbonation. No off flavors . It should be well carbonated by now.
is therea way to fix this? Researched that it coUld be from old yeast? Can I pitch more yeast?
