So I kegged a Dunkelweizen 2 weeks ago with 1/3 cup of corn sugar (boiled in 8 oz of water). I let it sit a room temp for the full 2 weeks and then put into the fridge yesterday. I just hooked it up to the CO2 at 10 psi and drew my first glass and it's flat as a pancake. What gives? It's as if it didn't carbonate at all!? Now I'm going to have to force carb it (like I usually do).
I really like the taste of natural carbonation which is why I tried something different. Did I not add enough priming sugar? When I racked my beer to the keg I had very little headspace (it was 5+ gallons, all the way to the top of the keg pretty much), and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.
