Recarbonating Youngs Pressure Barrel

Post by mdex » Thu Nov 27, 2008 9:57 pm

I Barelled my first brew 10 days ago, left in the warm for 7 days and has been in the cold for 3 days.

Poured a glass tonight to make sure all was ok and it was as flat as a pancake!

Should it have carbonated a little already?

When barreling I forgot to vaseline the seal so gas maybe escaping.

Is it worth repriming and sticking in the warm for another week with a vaselined cap?

Think i've found my answer in this thread viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18133

Although it may be pressured will there be any fizz in the brew?

I've also just read that I shouldn't have barreled my lager as it can't hold the required pressure to carbonate! :cry:

Should have done more reading/asked more questions! Not that I haven't asked enough already.

Think i'll just bottle from the keg and reprime.

Have a real ale on the go that can be barreled.

I can hear the cornies calling #-o
