I've been researching this and only thing I can think of is that I either have a problem with my regulator or CO2 tank.
I have a 5 gallon corny keg on the gas right now at 25psi at 35*F. It's been on the gas for a week. I check for gas leaks using dish soap in a spray bottle as always, no leaks. When I pull the gas relief valve on the keg I get a strong flush of CO2, definitely sounds like 25psi to me.
But still after 7-10 days at 25 psi the beer is undercarbonated and has a head on it for only 30 seconds after a pour and then only a few bubbles can be seen in the glass if I shake the glass lightly.
I don't get it. My tank is probably nearly empty as this is the 4th batch I've force carbonated and served on one 5 lb cylinder but the gauge still reads 900 psi on the tank.
