Carbonation issues

[Chrisharvey]

So I am force carbing 2 beers on co2. An ipa and Trappist tripel. I just didn't have the time to bottle the tripel. I carbed them so they would come out 2.3 per volume. 1 regulator. Ipa is great but the tripel seems flat. Plenty of co2 no leaks and been a few weeks.

Thoughts? Should I put the tripel on its own regulator and gas? I have a smaller tank I just got filled.

A dual regulator would be the way to go. You can run two kegs off one tank hookup at different pressures so no matter what serving temperature you prefer, you can carbonate to the level you want by setting each regulator differently.

Without it, unhook the gas on the APA, drop the temperature down into the low 30's and hook the gas up to the tripel, then use a carb chart like this one to pick the right carbonation level for your tripel.
