leaking seal in plastic keg = flat beer....help!

[frieddogg]

As above I've just realised after 6 weeks conditioning my beer is flat as my keg had a leaking seal. The seal's fixed now but can I carbonate the beer?

I have co2 bulbs but are these sufficient to carbonate? Or can I add some more sugar to the keg & expect it to carbonate it again?

Thanks in advance,

Adam.

Go for the sugar, it's cheaper and better than CO2 bulbs!
Will boost your ABV% a little though.

Thanks for that. I take it I need to bring it up to fermentation temp' before I add my sugar solution? It's probe ly sitting at less than 10 degrees c at the moment.

It will work at 10C, but very slowly!

reprime it, lube all your seal to get them really tight and leave it at room temp for a week then back to cooling it for drinking
