Pb pressure ,carbonation

[labrewski]

Had my pb condition for 14 days in 20 to 21 degrees
Then moved to fridge for 3 days had a quick sip absolutely flying out loads of head but no fizz
I used 80 g sugar for around 19 litre
Anyone know what's happening

Kveik yeast used so should be well carbed

Did you calculate it on carbonation chart. Using Brewersfriend calculator for 19 litres at 2.4 volumes you would need about 120g if sugar

What's happening is that it's basically gushing out and losing all the carbonation in the mad way it pours. In systems like pubs and keggers have you have to balance the pour with lengths of thin pipe. It's another one of pressure barrels drawbacks.

Just went on you tube advice lol

I have a piece of tubing going to give it a shot

I have another barrel 2 days in carbing 21 liters with 80g should I add more

 

[labrewski]

Could those co2 cartridges or nitrogen cartridges help
I thought there only to push the beer out

No - it'll make it much worse because you can't balance the output.

Nope!

I only use my pb's for cask type ale's ie bitter english pale ale stouts and the like, anything needing fizz goe's in pets and swing tops

 

[labrewski]

Omg I think I've jumped in the wrong pool

PBS are intended for lower carbonated beers. The taps on PBs are designed to create a bit of head but you can get some fizz...

To do so you will probably have to replace the pressure release rubber on your valve - this will allow up to 12psi whereas I suspect at the moment you’re probably struggling to get to 6psi. Then you’ll need to inject some gas to build the pressure - maybe a couple of times because the beer will absorb the CO2.

Also make sure the beer is cold before you inject the CO2 for maximum absorption.

Thank you so there is hope I like some sort of fizz
I have nitrogen and co2 cartridges
How much sugar for a 20 litre batch max can be used
Barrel can handle 15 psi

 

[Justin Dean]

Just put it at 14psi and leave for 14 days.

I don’t want to oversell this - you can get a gentle fizz but nothing like lager amounts of fizz you HAVE to use bottles or corny kegs for that.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

How ????

Unless you disable the safety valve (really bad idea!) you won’t get 14psi from a PB. The best you can expect is 12psi.

Man I don't know how I missed this I read loads and watched loads before I bought them looks like I have to find a nice and tasty beer to suit them

Recommended beers lads cmon
