FIZZ

[jclowes]

only on my second kit, anyway have had a beer in a king keg for 5 days in a warm place for priming about to move it into the cold. Iv tryed a bit and there is plenty of pressure but not much fizz? will this come with conditioning?

Its a brewers choice old ale, I no its not ment to be like larger but it is just a bit flat. Very nice taste though

thanks

The CO2 produced won't dissolve until it's been in the cool for a while. No dissolved CO2 = no fizz.

Why does more C02 cause foaming, silly question to most of you, but not a novice like me;

evenin,

dont want to hijack this thread but i also have this same problem, ive done a coopers brewmaster wheat beer and it tastes superb, comes out of the top tap keg very quickly, pretty much a pint of foam but settles down nicely and like i say the taste is great, but its as flat as a pancake. It fermented for 10 days, i primed and transferred to keg and left in same temp (22oC) for another week, then stuck it in the garage and have left alone for a good couple of months. Tried some a week ago and it was flat so I have put some more co2 in there via hambleton cylinder, only a 1 second blast 3 times over the last week. ive just poured another 2 pints of foam, let them settle out and its still flat as a pancake, not a single bubble in sight, its properly flat flat?

What did i do wrong? Does it have to be left somewhere colder than garage temps even to carbonate properly? Bit frustrating coz i never seem to have this trouble when i bottle, but my last 2 kegged brews have been properly flat!

Please help, my bank holiday is flatter than flat!

cheers

sorry jclowes i seem to have took over your thread a little, sorry !

However..... Chris-x1 youre a legend ! I did exactly what you said, releasing the cap before i poured the pint, adding a squirt to get beer out, damn top tap keg!! Its worked a treat, i now have very lightly carbonated wheat beer and im a very happy man !

CHEERS very much appreciated !!
