This came to my attention the other day when some friends and I were doing some side by side comparisons with my homebrew and some commercial examples. Both my friend I noticed that my beer was noticeably less carbonated than the commercial ones (all stouts). I carb by setting it at 30psi for 24 hours, then back it down to serving pressure for 2 weeks (13 psi @ 38F) which puts it just over 2.6 volumes of CO2. I have 10' lines and get the correct amount of foam when I pour, but looking in the poured glass of beer I don't see a lot of bubbles. There are some, but not near as much as a poured bottle of beer. Honestly I'm at a loss as to where my problem lies, any help is appreciated. The only thing I can think of is the regulator is reading incorrectly.
