i'm upto about my 4th keg and have been mostly happy with the result up until the current keg.
bit of background first: my first keg was good but had way too much head so i lengthened the beer line to two meters. next couple of kegs were better, still probably too much head but if you let it sit for a minute its ok. still not perfect so i was planning to go to 3m of line and see how that is.
the way ive been gassing is to put the pressure up to say 300kpa over night, then down to 100kpa for a few days and its sweet. this current keg however (think it was a morgans pilsner maybe? can check when im home) has been on the gas for weeks and still tastes flat.
there is plenty of gas in the tank, there is lots of head but its like its not absorbing the gas. i can see some bubbles in the beer but its no good. ive even tried bumping to 120kpa but still no love.
its got a good flavour to it and i know it will be good when carbed, does anyone have an ideas? i know the topic has probably been covered to death but i couldnt find a thread on the topic that relates specifically.
cheers,
kevin
