Finally kegged my first batch ever (vanilla porter) about a month ago and it still isn't carbonated. I used carbonation calculators and for 2.1 volumes at 50F (10c) I set my regulator at 12.5 psi. I sampled at 3 days and was undercarbed as expected. Sampled at 5 days and was about the same until about 10 days when I cranked up the psi to 20-30 psi and shook the keg. I can hear the co2 entering the keg as well. Still was fairly flat but it did get better. I then set it back to dispensing pressure and it has remained somewhat flat. I did the high psi/ shake a few more times with no noticeable increase in carbonation I checked the co2 cylinder and regulator for a leak by submerging it in water to no avail. I also checked the tap and fittings with soap with no bubbles to be seen. Only thing I didn't check in depth was the party faucet. Is it possible for this to leak CO2 without leaking beer? I am pretty new so am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thanks for reading Another undercarbed beer thread. And yes, I did a search and tried everything I found.
