    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    After reading some stuff about priming and looking at the charts or calculators I was beginning to think that it was different for PBs. Is there another way to initially carb a PB, I have read that just using c02 isn’t enough. Would it be do able if the beer was cold enough? After I’ve cold...

    Yeah it had finished fermentation. What do you mean that it doesnt really matter to PB's? My plan is to add the 100g of dextrose supplied with the kit when the PB warms up to 10deg C, as this is what the charts I've been looking at recommend. But Im open to experienced brewers knowledge.

    Ah thanks, I've been looking around and there is some argument between which temp. to use. Ill give that a go.

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    Yeah that could be a good investment. Save on c02 athumb.. On another note, I've been looking around and cant find a decisive answer, if anyone could point me to a decent thread that'd be amazing. There's a bit of mixed information on priming sugar amounts after cold crashing. Because I have a...

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    I have, as far as I can tell, twisted it round a bit. Didn't move easily It looks fine though, covering the hole, not folded or pushed up anywhere. I'm gonna try and get a new one, but with how the home brew shops have been it might be a while. Ill need some more c02 cartridges too :mad: Or...

    Any ideas on what to do with the 23L of IPA I have cold crashing until I can get this sorted? Many thanks for the help already.

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    Yeah I checked the rubber and it seems fine, no splits. I’ve actually managed to dig out some of the metal cartridge from the pin and can see more in there but just can’t get it out. I’m assuming it’s sticking the pin open slightly letting the air back out? Is that how they work? The pressure...

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    Well I sprayed soapy water on everything and not a sign of a bubble. So I went to perform Drunkula’s test, emptied the keg, vassed the seals and ptfe taped the lid. Sprayed a shot of c02 in, all good, read almost 2psi. Unscrewed the bulb and the pressure started p*ssin out of the pin valve. I...

    I'll give this a go also, makes sense really if there's nothing to absorb it

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    I assumed that that would have shown when I held the keg under water. It was under for a good while as I was trying to figure it out. Ill try the spray and see what happens but

    King Keg not holding pressure but no apparent leak

    Hi, I'm a newbie to brewing and to this forum. I have myself a KK top tap and am about to rack a Festival Razorback IPA in the next few days. I decided to check for any leaks in the KK as I've read that they are prone to leaking, but I just like the idea of them. I have added a pressure gauge...
