I kegged my cider 2 weeks ago - 1/2 in bottles the rest in the keg.
The bottles are clear so i thought i'd test out the keg. It frothed when i opened the tap into the glass. On tasting though it was flat, cloudy and quite bland. The plastic bottles i've used are hard suggesting good carbonation and are fully clear.
Is it possible secondary fermentation hasnt kicked in? The bottles and keg were in different places but i batch primed. Should i aggitate the sediment in the keg and put back in a warm place?
 
dont use kegs myself, but did u put the right amount of sugar i the keg for secondary, and remember it takes longer for the keg than bottleas to secondary ferment!

Patience :cheers:
 
I batch primed so the level of primer should be fine. I was unaware that kegs took longer to ferment, i assumed it would go at the same pace as the bottles. That would be the likely explanation. Thanks for your input.
