The last batch we did (10 gal of a sunshine wheat clone) one keg was force carbonated for a week, the other was placed into the keg with priming sugar for 2 weeks. In the end both kegs had a similar amount of head with little to no bubbles in the actual liquid (compared to a store bought New Belgium Bottle).

Don't get me wrong...it was not flat...it tasted great....and was fun to make.


ps sorry for the thread jack.....
So - when you force carb, what pressure? and for how long? and Do you agitate the beer during the process? Do you Force Carb at room temp? or cold?

We resume our regularly scheduled conversation....

As to the German style beers - Colder temps hold more carbonation.
Pour that lager into a room temperature glass, and let it stand for a couple min before you drink... You'll appreciate how the aromas and flavors open up.
