Ok cool thanks for that!!

With the head retention part, I used the same glass, same recipe, same everything. And with the carbonation, I used the chart after measuring the temp and dissolved CO2 to get the pressure setting. I’ll give it a day or two and test it again to see how it is.

So I have just checked my second keg after doing the 6 days at 10psi instead of 48 hours at 30 psi. I just poured a beer and I’m not getting all head this time. It pours well. I can pour the beer just once and get a nice head. But…. The head retention is not as good as my first keg and it looks...

Just a quick question. When you read the carbonation chart (attached) and it gives you the answer on what pressure to use… what time period do you use for carbonation?? It tell you the pressure and temp, but for how long. I have been told 1 to 2 weeks. But there is nothing suggesting the time...

😂😂😂 I’m sure that extra minute won’t kill me. I thought this but just wanted to make sure. Thanks elmomakesbeer!!

I have just started to carbonate a keg at 10psi for around 6 days. Today is day 1. I have a second keg in the fridge that is already carbonated. Is it ok to disconnect the gas line from the keg I am carbonating and connect it to the already carbonated keg to pour a beer for no more than a minute...

2 more questions!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ When I have the gas connected for carbonating is it ok to disconnect it and connect it to the first keg of beer at pouring pressure, pour the beer then disconnect it and reattach to the beer to the keg I am carbonating at the higher pressure? And my beer line is...

Thankyou everyone. I’m in Melbourne until tomorrow and get back to Sydney late tomorrow night. I have a wort that has just finished fermenting and will keg it on the weekend. I still have my first very frothy beer in my first keg. Went and bought a second keg and will do the lower pressure over...

Time isn’t a factor to me. I’m not a big drinker but love making it and having one or two after work a couple of times a week. So I might scrap the 30 psi for two days and do the lower pressure over the week or two.

Ok then if the desired pressure is the pressure to carbonate your keg (the numbers in the middle of the chart), what are the numbers at the top for?? ie the numbers you draw a line vertically down???

I understand draw a line across from the temp and you said draw a line down from the desired carbonation (which I used 30 psi for 48 hours on my first keg). The vertical line only goes up to 9.0. I have read the article. There is something I’m not following. Sorry for my dumbness here. Is...

Ok I’m still confused. If you carbonate at 15 psi… how long for?? And what are the numbers in the colours?? Is that the pressure you use for dispursement??

Can someone explain how to use this chart. From what I understand the left side is the temp of the keg, the top is the carbonation pressure you use to carbonate it. What is the number in the colour codes?? Is this the dispútame t pressure??? I carbonated at 30 psi for 48 hours. The result for me...
