Andy Q

Did you force carbonate with mixed gas? if so bear in mind that you are only getting 25% CO2, so you have to carbonate longer than regular ales, I usually force carbonate with C02, and serve with the mix, overcarbonated the last one though, and was drinking what looked liked stout ice cream Sundaes for weeks, so be careful.

Also what PSI is the reg set to? needs to be 40-50 too if I remember(mine came preset with no gauge) but when I do it properly looks like the real McCoy! you can force carbonate with the mix, but whereas my IPA's are carbonated within 100 shakes/rolls of the corny with on the gas, stouts on mixes gas take 2-3 times more 

don't give up just yet, especially after that outlay!

Hi Andy.
I've carbonated with pure CO2 for 4 days. Carb levels were good. I'm dispensing with the gas mix at 30psi. One thing I didn't do was "burp" the keg well. I'll keep trying. I'll up the pressure a bit to ok the N. I only dispensed about 4 pints. Thanks for your reply.
