Just started kegging. No issues with bottle carbonation except when I forget to measure the bottling sugar.. BUT, not so with kegging.
I've put two ales into kegs.. one 5G corny and one 3G corny. Both were initially kegged at 30PSI for about a week. Then I turned the pressure down to 20PSI and got a lot of foam but no carbonation in the glass. Turned it down to 15PSI after bleeding the keg pressure and got a decent pour.. but, little or no carbonation in the glass.. little to no head foam. IOW, it didn't blast out of the tap. Just a nice easy pour.
I have a 5' length of 3/16" thick walled tubing between the kegs and the party taps... 15PSI.. at 40*F
Any thoughts? I don't want to go back to bottling except in rare instances.
Oh yes, another comment. I brought some brew to a friend yesterday. Put the ale in a large brown plastic bottle with Carbonator on the top. Charged it to 20PSI and the bottle was definitely hard.. Put it on ice and brought it over to share. Very little foam and definitely no bubbles in the beer.
Something is just not right after reading all the threads I could find.. and having nice pours at other get togethers.
Helllllllllp.
