I've had an IPA and Hefe in kegs for 10 days now. These are the first two batches I have ever kegged. They have been at 12psi and 40F the entire time. When I make a pour, I get about an inch of head that has very little retention. There are some tiny bubbles in suspension but nothing special and no noticeable carbonation via taste.
I don't have any desire to shake the keg, I'd just prefer to not do that...but at the same time I would expect the beer to at least have a noticeable amount of carbonation by now.
Any ideas? Just needs more time? Obviously that is probably the answer but I just expected more after reading so many people saying 7-10 days at serving pressure. I have checked for leaks and my kegs are holding pressure fine.
