Default Flat & Foamy..no leaks found!!

Ok, so I bought a 1/4 keg a few months ago and the beer was flat. I fiddled with every imaginable scenario of temperature and pressure, but to no avail. I blamed the distributor. Yesterday I bought another keg and cleaned all the lines, parts, etc. before hooking it up. Again, the beer was flat, but it comes out of the faucet at a good rate. What is going on? I tried using the soapy water tests on all the connections and cannot detect a leak. What could possibly be causing a beer to come out of the tap with much force, alot of foam, but then zero carbonation? This is so frustrating! Any help please?

How are you washing your gl***es? The way your describing it, the product is not becoming flat until it's in the gl***

It is also possible that the turbulant pour is releasing the co2 from the solution resulting in a flat beer.

Default funny language filter

You cant use the word *g l a s s* on a beer forum? It's not like the word it's filtering is all that obscene to begin with, just another name for a donkey.
