I corney kegged my kolsh about 4 weeks ago and primed it with corn sugar in the keg for carbonation since I haven't picked up a CO2 tank yet. I stored it in my basement for a few weeks which is nice and cool then moved it to my garage fridge when I was ready to cool it and drink it. I charged it with a little CO2 injector (the little hand held type) and then drew a pint. Two problems were painfully obvious. One, it was flat, and two the creamed corn problem. I'm pretty sure, one does not beget the other so I am surmising that my keg is not holding pressure and I did not boil the wort long enough to drive of the DMS precursors.

Any suggestions for saving or is this a drain pour?

Cheers,

Dukester
 
I'm curious about your DMS and would like to know more:
What brand of pils malt did you use? Recipe & boil length?
How did you chill the wort & how long did it take?
Yeast strain, fermentation temp, OG & FG?
