Trusty1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Like I said in another thread, i am just about ready to give up on the kegs. I dumped what was a perfectly good batch of Coopers Draught tonight. NOT HAPPY JAN! It was transfered to the keg in November with much anticipation. That anticipation has been replaced with another emotion![crying] I did make some errors with the process, i.e. putting the normal bottling rate of sugar in on my first attempt at natural carbonation, but my setup just can't be right. I force carbed a canadian blonde and get bloody ice cream! I know the kiwis love their ice cream, but the canucks? I am in the process of degassing and will attempt another force carb and hope to the lord above that it bloody well works. If not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng12 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sorry to hear that mate, though you have learnt a few things along the way. Good to see your not giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB2 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 What is the fridge temp, how long is your beer out line and what is the ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yea Muddy $200, get him while he's down. I'll go $220, any more bids. Guess Muddy you have started a Coopers Ebay. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty1 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would off load the lot, but the system was given to me by the in-laws! It's absence would be conspicuous! ~ Sorry fellas. Fridge temp is 2C, beer line length is 2.4m and is 6mm id. I have been planning to extend the line, I saw another post from you Paul about the restriction required. I have emptied 2 kegs which were good with the same set up, though. It just seems too hit and miss. I'll try another natural carbonation at 4gms/litre, which from what I have seen is 1/3 cup of white sugar (but I'll weigh it out!). I have a coopers black[kissing] in the tub ready to go! Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Try to get the fridge temp' to 4C. Yep, you just about need to double the beer line length with 6mm ID. I've seen restrictors on the craftbrewer online store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
