Problems carbing a root beer.

[ghart999]

Homemade root beer in a 5G corney keg. Been carbed at 30psi for 4 weeks now. I have a 20 feet 3/16" line on it. Air temp is 36 with pour temp at 41.

I get a nice thick creamy head when I pour. The head disappears in about 8 seconds and I am left with flat root beer. Somehow the CO2 is not staying in solution. Any ideas?

I can't imagine 30 psi is not enough.

Thanks all.

Most of the Root Beer I've made has no head retention either but it tastes carbonated. That is very strange. If the liquid is too warm while carbonating it will not absorb into to solution and if the liquid is served too cold the co2 will stay in solution and look flat but you would be able to taste/feel it when you drink it. I'm stumped unless it is a bad regulator. Let me know how it turns out.

There's been a lot of that lately. I've reported everyone that I've seen. I think the moderators don't always check the board as often as we think.
