Hey guys,
So I've decided to keg my beer rather than bottle so I've scored myself a keg, bottle and beer gun. Brewed a few beers and keged them but I am having issues getting carbonation right. 1st beer I kegged and gassed in the fridge at 10-12 psi. After about a week and a half had a beer which had so much head a no fiz in the beer after about a month nothing changed? Lots of head no fiz in beer no mater what psi I served at.
Next beer I cold crushed kegged and force carbonated and 40 psi. Left overnight a serving pressure 10-12 psi now trying the beer it is still flat with lots of head. Beer sprays out of the beer gun rather than pores if I drop the pressure down to 1-2 psi I get a nice pore but no real gas in the beer.
My hose on the gun is what the brew shop recommended and is about 2 meters long. Fridge temp is about 3 degrees.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it possible my pressure gauge is wrong?
Cheers macca
