How much beer's in that keg? How long's it been in there? Did ye prime it with sugar? If so, how much and when? What sort of temperatures have ye been storing the keg at? These are questions which may make better answers possible :wink:

Meanwhile; If ye have a bottle of gas handy, no real harm can come from giving the keg a shot.

Hello. If you only bottled a few, i.e less than 5, you should have lots of beer in the keg ? If so, and primed, as Ditch has asked, must be a problem with the keg. Did you use vaseline on the seals ? If you tighten the cap TOO much you can deform the seal. Beer generally clears much quicker in the bottle. I've had flat barrels before, and have never managed to get it carbonated, but nothing to lose, as Ditch says.
Cheers
