Hi Guys,
Ive been lurking this forum for a while, and I now have a question i really need to ask. I just bought myself a couple kegs and regulator etc. I put the beer into the kegs and then the fridge overnight. Tonight i tried the following method to force carbonate, lets say all i got was ice cream beer What do i need to do to rectify this situation?
Here is the method i followed:
Hook up the gas, purge the keg a bit thru the relief valve then crank the pressure on the regulator all the way round to 450KPA.
Get on your haunches as if you were throwing a medicine ball and VIOLENTLY shake the keg backwards and forwards about 80 to 100 times. Some pople roll the keg either way is good!
Turn the gas OFF, leave the line hooked up and continue shaking until the pressure guage reads about 90 to 100KPA.
Pour yourself a beer!
Any thoughts guys?? (I really want to be drinking beer from my own tap)
