I am wondering if keg volume effects carbonation? I figured this was covered, but nothing really came up from the search.
Last weekend I carbed up an APA (~15l) and a Porter (~17l). I left them at ~30kpafor a few days (the pressure I was serving my ESB at), but then got sick of waiting and jumped up to 100kpa for two days, then dropping off to 50kpa for serving today.
The APA was all good - mid level carb and pretty decent. The Porter was still borderline flat though.
I am trying to figure out why. I figure it can only be:
- volume
- style
- a leak in my porter keg (hopefully not)
What do you think?
