I indeed used a beer gun and am keeping the bottles cold.
I have a beer sampling December 15th and want to be positive my beer won't be flat by that time
Hi I have a question regarding longevity of carbonation in beer that is fully carbed from a keg (only CO2): simply, how long will my beer stay carbonated in the bottles if I'm bottling pre-carbed beer?
My only bottling experience is with priming sugar and old fashioned homebrew bucket bottling...
My main concern is that my beer won't be carbonated for this scholarship benefit in one week.
I've got an Oktoberfest and a Pilsner kegged and "chilling" at about 39-42F and for the beginning of this second day, CO2 at 28-30psi.
I didn't add priming sugar to the kegs.
Tomorrow I am...
No the beer has been bottled since June and there is no carbonation. I doubt there was much carbonation in the keg before I bottled. I am either going to take the regular amount and just divide the total amount of priming solution by the number of bottles and use an exact amount for each...
I had a kegging accident where I forgot to keep the beer cool before I bottled from the keg with CO2. First time only error :(
I have no local homebrew store that carries these "drops" and was wondering if there was a scientific formula of some sort that I could whip up my own batch of...
Ah, well yes the kegs were room temp the entire time. Either way, no carbonation in the bottles. Without kegging I know it needs ~14-21 days to get carbonation to where it should be. Does this apply to bottling with CO2 as well? If so I may just need to wait longer for the bottles to condition.
Yeah, well when I siphoned the fermented beer into the kegs, I added priming sugar. Let it sit for a few days then added CO2 and eventually bottled about 2 weeks later
Hey guys, still new to the kegging/bottling process. Have 2 cases of bottles beer from a keg without carbonation. Added priming sugar to the beer upon kegging and also had CO2 pumping in during the kegging process (foamed a few bottles up).
Any suggestions?
Yeah there's pressure in the keg - it's been pressurized for 2 days now, and the beer gun doesn't work even if it's not in the bottle.
Gonna let it sit for a bit longer, but didn't know if there was an easy fix for this or perhaps the pressure isn't up to snuff?
Short story:
Got the beers kegged, CO2 hooked up and carbonated the beer, but when I hook up the beer gun, the beer runs into the line a little, then when I press the trigger, no beer shoots out.
Any help?
Thanks.
