Ok, so I brewed the Moose Drool Clone from Can you brew it. Great beer. Anyways, I kegged this thing LAST MONTH and there's still no carbonation. I tried to "burst carb" it but that didn't work so I just set it for 12 psi and let it sit. That got the beer carbed up enough so that I could bottle it for an upcoming competition. But when I stuck it back in the freezer and tried it the next day. So I set it back to 12 psi. Nothing so I set it to 15 psi and it's still flat.
The sum up of the run off paragraph above:
Burst carb - FAILED
12 psi for a week - Adequate carbonation
Bottled
12 psi - FAILED
15 psi - FAILED
I don't know the diameter of my hose but it's only 5'. I have the parts from the "cure for you short hose troubles" thread coming in tomorrow. So that should help with the foaming.
I can't imagine that I have a leak because I still have gas in the tank. Seems like it would have all leaked out by now.
Am I losing the carbonation somehow in my line or through the excessive amounts of foam?
This is truely frustrating.
