Gday All,
For fathers day i went and bought myself the beer machine, I still do old style home brewing and buy german beer....but thought id try the beer machine...all has gone well so far with fermenting and bubbling/conditioning after fermentation has complete has been a success...only issue i have now is carbonation...ive tried 3 gas bulbs, the PSI gauge has gone to about 12 psi...seems normal and within the correct range...stays there for a few hours...whilst I guess the chilled beer soaks up the gasses to become carbonated...after a few hours the gauge drops back slowly down to 0...a small amount of air comes out the top of the pressure release valve which from what ive read is normal......who else has one of these beer machines and can give me some tips or advice on the carbonation side of things...the head on the beer is creamy and good...the taste is fine...just not fully carbonated how it should normally be from a keg setup....not sure how many bulbs you should use per 10 litres of beer or if there is a certain rule to follow?
cheers fellas....any help would do.
