new to brewing and keging need a little help

[alabrew205]

So after 3 batches of bottling ive moved to kegging and decided to naturally carb due to space. ( i dont have room for 5 gallon kegs, large co2 tank and reg.) Im using 2.5 gallon kegs in my regular fridge with a mini reg. and 60gram co2 cartridges.

I used 3/4 cup cane sugar and waited 12 days to try it and its flat. I did prime the keg with co2 and purged. Also ive checked the kegs for leaks and im good on that.

Do i need to wait longer?


If it makes any difference my brew in a clone of zombie dust.
The kegs have been sitting at 70f.

Yes - wait longer. Also, put it somewhere that's in the mid 70s. That might help get the yeast working again.

You will still need gas to get the beer out of the keg. A 5 pound gas bottle is about the same size of a 2l coke bottle and will last you a long time. I have 4 5 gallon kegs and I am about to kick my second bottle in a year.
