Big cider problem Won't carbonate?

[bannedbrewingco]

I recently kegged a 12.5% ABV hard cider that my girlfriend and I made. We used quite a bit of sugar and champagne yeast so it turned out to be a very big cider. I force carbed at 30 PSI for 36 hours expecting to have some amount of carbonation. To my avail, the cider was still. Should I try force carbing for a longer period of time? Thoughts? Recommendations?

I heard long periods of time for force crabing... as in 1 week to really judge if there is a leak.

You could roll the keg around (while pressurizing) to speed it up, but make sure to purge the air first.

Also check for leaks.

Thanks for the replies guys. I found a leak in the corny keg. For some reason the lid won't seal properly. I'm going to take it into my LHBS for additional help.
