Hey all I need some help. I brewed a munich helles lager some time ago. The lagering period is done and I now have the beer on CO2 in a corny. I dont know why, but for the life of me, this beer will not carbonate. I have had it on 15psi for almost 2 weeks. I gave my brother the other five gallons and he is having the same problem.
Is it possible that it is somewhat carbonating but not producing a head due to the protein rest? I used pils malt for 75% of the grist and gave it a 20 min protein rest. I have never had that problem before though.
I don't know why both of our kegs would have issues carbonating if it was a hardware issue. We both have a red on our other line that has carbonated really well.
Any takers?
