Hey guys! New brewer, and probably jumped in over my head with kegging. (pun intended)
I recently bought a 1/2Barrel (15.5gal) Sankey keg that was full of Green Flash Passionfruit Kicker off a gentleman on CraigsList. He claimed it had been sitting in a warehouse for a year and then his side yard for a few weeks. Its old, but untapped and it was only $40. Brought it home to my new kegging system I bought and let it sit in the fridge a couple days to cool off to about 40* then tapped. The beer is producing all head from the 5ft of 3/16ths vinyl tubing. When the head is finally beer its flat.
I pressurized the keg to 20psi and let it sit 3-4 days. Then I vented, set at 12PSI and tried again. The same issue of pouring almost all foam and flat beer. POSSIBLY a bit less foamy and a bit more carbonation, but my roommate doesn't think so. Might just be my hopeful spirit.
What would you guys recommend to get carbonation into the beer and for it to flow properly?
Thanks! -Nathaniel
