Help. Flat beer!

Post by mitten » Wed Aug 11, 2010 5:00 pm

Hey, I just checked on my Coopers wheat beer. It's been in the pressure barrel for around a month. I just tried it and it's completely flat. This is the second time this has happened.

Is there anyway I can make my beer fizzy now, or is it too late. I was thinking of adding about 100g of dextrose and sealing the pressure barrel again.

It sounds like you have a leak somewhere, give it a blast of CO2 and look and listen for any leaks, you could have a dodgy seal.
Did you lubricate the O ring with Vaseline?
