EvanS1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Can anyone advise a keg that will produce a good amount of carbonation in the glass? I have just used a king keg for the first time and it made lots of foam and mostly flat beer. OK for english real/cask ale styles but not for anything requiring a bit more fizzz. Any advice welcomed, cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 sounds like your beer has not been carbonated properly, either by secondary fermentation (naturally conditioned) or force carbonated. I use Cornelius kegs with a beer tap and a 6.0kg bottle of CO2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB2 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Evan, beer with higher volumes of CO2 require a more sturdy vessel (steel is good) with a pressure relief valve, served at around 4degC and require some form of restiction in the beer line to prevent the beer from pouring too foamy. Kegging info You may find suppliers of second hand kegs by typing "post-mix kegs" or "cornelius kegs" into a search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
