Title: Under-carbed Corny
Post by: ColMack on June 06, 2013, 10:53:09 AM
I have just tapped a corny of blonde ale and it's just not quite carbonated enough for my liking.    I may not have left it long enough before cooling it (I needed it for a party). 
Could anyone suggest a force carbing technique just to top up the CO2 a bit?  Pressure and time?It is cold now which is probably reducing the perceived carbonation a bit too.

Followed one like that and got my beer carbed in under 10 minutes.

Attach the gas, turn up the pressure to 40 psi, and shake the fook out of the corny for 1 minute. Leave to stand for a few hours or overnight in the fridge and bobs your uncle.


Thanks, It was something like that I wanted to try.  It was carbed naturally for about a week and a half so I really only want to top-up the carbonation.
