Hello all,
My friend and I have a perplexing issue with one keg that refused to be carbed.
We have 4 kegs in the keezer, and 3 of the kegs carbed up nicely - they are a pale ale, porter, and coffee porter. The 4th keg is a keg hopped pale ale, and this beer is giving us trouble.
We usually pressurize at 8-10 PSI at 34-36 degrees depending on the style of the beer. We noticed the 3 beers were fine after a week, but the 4th was not so we shut off the co2 valves to the other 3 and boosted pressure to 20 psi to force carb the 4th keg, and we also checked for leaks with negative results. Two days later, beer is still not carbed and the co2 tank is showing it still has pressure/co2.
Last night, I switched to a different co2 line and boosted pressure to 30 and will be checking tonight (will also swap in a fresh tank and a new regulator that we already bought prior to this issue). I wanted to ask what could be causing a beer to not carb? We checked for leaks, and there seem to be none unless we are missing something?
Thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
