So I am sitting here scratching my head as to why my brew will not carbonate. I have listened and heard that cold brew will take gas a lot easier than cellar temp, but I choose to attempt to carb at cellar temp. It will just take a bit longer, correct? SO WHY WILL MY BREW NOT CARBONATE PROPERLY? I am using a D-type Sanke keg with a D-type tap. I put a penny over the vertical beer out valve, and attached the co2 line into the gas in valve. I have tried keeping constant pressure of 35-40psi for a few days. Ive tried putting 12psi and shaking it for a few days. ALL I GET IS A FOAMY HEAD THAT DISIPATES INTO A FIZZY BEER WITH NO BUBBLES. what gives? what am I doing wrong? can you not force carbonate in a Sixtel keg (which makes no sense to me cause your still exposing the beer to carbon dioxide inside a sixtel like you do a Cornelius keg).
ANYONE WITH EXPERIENCE DOING THIS(CAUSE I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE) PLEASE HELP!!!
