so I know this is a homebrew forum but I cannot figure out how to get these questions answered so I was hoping someone on here might know.
I started attempting to make carbonated water in corny kegs, but am having a couple fundamental issues and I've never done this before so I simply
don't know what to do.
I can't get it carbonated enough. My temp is 37-40 F and I had my regulator at 35 psi for a week. Now that I'm tapping it I have it down to
20-25 only because it comes out with too much force above that. Bottom line, it foams up like hell when I pour it and once the foam settles it's
barely carbonated and on top of that it doesn't even fill a glass quickly. I'm using two taps, one with a 5mm ID push lock style connection and the other with a regular hose barb with a 3/16 ID hose and
plain old hose clamps.
Honestly the 3/16 ID hose seems less crappy, but only by a little.
Two individual corny kegs filled with tap water from my house and a tiny bit of flavor, no sugar, no sugar substitutes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I've never kegged anything so I'm totally new to all of this.
