Okay. Second batch kegged up. 1/2 cup of corn sugar in a cup of water in the bottom of the keg. Filled the keg to almost full, purged and sealed up tight with about 4 blasts of CO2, bled one last time, blasted again, then closed, sprayed all connections with StarSan solution to check for leaks.
14 days at room temp to condition, then 3 days in the fridge on about 15 pounds of gas. Draw a sample and it's flat. There's a bit of foam from the CO2 tank, it's clear, it'll mess you up with alcohol, but no carbonation. WTF?
The only thing I can think is it leaked anyway, but after 3 days on CO2, I don't see any evidence of a leak as far as pressure dropping on the regulator.
I've put the CO2 up to 20 pounds and I'm gonna leave it in the fridge for a week to see what happens, but something ain't right here.
Suggestions? What did I miss?
