This is my 3rd kegging experience and I screwed up the 1st two.
Shock Top Clone, vented the O2 out of the head space to make sure, put in mini-fridge at 39 F at 10 PSI. Went out of town, now 9 days later the beer is carbonated for a little while, but has zero head, and the taste is just not right. It doesn't have the acidic (Carbonic) taste - it just tastes flat. There are a nice amount of CO2 bubbles coming out of the beer at first, but then they don't continue to come out of solution for very long. Should I keep waiting?
I didn't try any type of force carbonation. Just set it and forget it.
I see bubbles at the top of the beer (Sanstar bubbles?) but no head at all.
