    Carbonating in keg, high psi but low carbonation

    I typically leave the gas CONNECTED at 30PSI at 34F for 2-3 days depending on the carb level desired. I do cold crash in a mini fridge and pressurize the keg to 30psi, then disconnect. the beer in the minifridge is never carbonated even when absorbed to 5 psi. i burst back to 30 PSI every...

    hefe pressure fermentation "failure"

    I only set to 1-2 psi to keep positive pressure in the keg - are you sure your blow off tube is air tight? some yeast also take a few days to kick into gear, even on a yeast cake. not ideal but I have experienced lag time like that before. You can also under pitch as suggested above to bring...

    Should a gas system be "completely" air-tight?

    you have a leak - if you had the gas shut off at the hose barb, close your tank now as well - if you have a leak it will be zero in the morning, but you wont drain your tank. you will prove if you have a leak or not in the gauge or tank connection. if the pressure holds, you do not have a leak...
