I'm having a BBQ tomorrow and I made my very first KEGGED batch of beer for it, using an s30 valve that allows natural carbing and lets out excess pressure and then I add co2 (via small soda stream canisters) when the beer gets to halfway/starts glugging at the tap...
tonight Ive sampled my first glass ahead of the bbq tomorrow and the beer is flat and doesn't taste great either really (which im thinking is related to the failure to carb), it was supposed to be an australian ipa, 40 pints with 110g of priming sugar added to the keg.
I had the idea (whilst gripped in fear an panic) to screw a co2 canister onto the valve and maybe it'd force carb it at least a little (?), i begin screwing it down, half worried that it might blow up my mostly full keg and it keeps turning and turning, I then noticed the rubber around the s30 valve which seals it inside the screw cap was perishing the whole time im screwing the co2 cannister onto it... d'oh
I now can't unscrew the co2 cannister holder off the s30 valve because its turning itself so im gona have to try and find some very skinny mole grips...
so I put it to the wiser people and more experienced... what do you think I've one wrong? was the s30 valve faulty to begin with? did the rubber seal not hold to allow for carbing? was my rescue attempt stupid? can i do anything else, except pray for a miracle or build a time machine?
trying to remain positive, regards furstyjaymar13
