Hi,
I have recently started homebrewing in the 5L minikegs and I am wondering what amount of dextrose I should be adding to the kegs for carbonation?
I recently kegged a Coopers Pale Ale and put 23g in each minikeg. I let it sit for 2 weeks at room temp and then put it in the fridge for 3 days to cool down.
When I pour the beer it has a lot of head (since turning down the CO2 pressure this has reduced) though it tastes flatter than a normal beer.
I poured my Pale Ale and a Heineken (from the can) into two glasses and tried both...while my Pale Ale had some carbonation it was slightly less than the Heineken.
Basically how much dextrose should I be adding to the minikegs to get the right carbonation and drop the amount of head poured?
Cheers,
Sam
