Hey all-
So I've got 5 gallons of delicious ESB in the keg but I don't have the patience to drink it because it pours INCREDIBLY slowly. We're talking 3-4 minutes per pint!
I force carbed for a little over a week to 2 volumes. Per the handy carbonation chart, this was around 8 PSI @ 40 degrees F.
When I pour, it's barely a trickle coming out of the picnic tap. I even turned the regulator up to 12 PSI with no noticeable difference in pouring speed. It's been at 12 PSI for a few days now and still pours exactly the same.
It's my first beer through this keg, could it be something wrong with the keg itself? Is there anything I can try?
The beer is definitely carbonated enough for the style and I really enjoy it, but why is it taking so long?!
Thanks-
Scrapp
