I have small 500l bright tank with 400l of cider in it. Sitting at 3 degrees I put the pressure on to 20 psi and left it. It has a carb stone in the bottom not a large one. Standard Kent 1/2 inch thread. For some reason after 12 hours my cider is just got a lot of head and when clears out of the tank is holding no Co2. I have herd of the method of increasing pressure slowly and overcoming wetting pressure on the stone. I am sampling straight from the tank through a half in h valve to a glass. Do I need a bigger stone? The pressure usually takes about I reckon 12 hours to reach equilibrium with regulator to brite tank. I am getting really frustrated if anyone has a sure fire instruction method to help would be much appreciated. My understanding was I could start carbing from 3 degrees going toward 1 but it maybe better to wait till it gets to one. So if anyone can see any holes in my method would be great to have your input.
