Hi guys
I tried the 'Ross method' of carbonating but with the gas in the IN port and rolling on its side.
I did this a couple of times, once for the 50 seconds and again for around 30.
After the first time I realised that my regulator would simply return to zero pressure once I switched off the gas at the reg. I do have a non return valve would this be causing it?
I poured a beer after the first and it was pretty much all froth but very flat, after the second time it was all froth again but this time it was slightly more carbonated.. but still not how I would like it.
I am using a bronco tap with curly hose and I think maybe it doesn't have a long enough line length? (although most threads seem to suggest they are good).
I have set the regulator to around 130 kpa and left it to cool down a bit again (got to around 6 deg after messing around). I set to around 30-40 kpa for pouring.
Should I be leaving the pressure on still?
Does anyone know why my regulator returns to zero pressure not the 140-160?
Next time I might just set and forget but I figured I would try my first kegged beer tonight.. can you blame me?
Cheers guys, ANY advice would be appreciated and i apologise if you are repeating yourself but I did quite a few searches.
