Hi Guys,
I'm having a little trouble carbonating a 15BBL unitank, I'm ending up with under-carbed beer every time. I'm currently using a 1/2" x 4" pico carbonator inside an 8"piece of tube connected to a ball valve connected to the racking port of the tank (as below). The tank doesn't have a racking arm.
I've done quite a bit of reading on ProBrewer and have a few questions:
1. Is the stone large enough to properly carbonate a 15BBL tank?
2. Based on what I've been reading on ProBrewer, I should be carbonating the head space to 1psi below the desired saturation via the CIP arm before setting the stone to the pressure required for the desired volumes of co2 and leaving it, is this correct? Or should I simply slowly step increase gas through the stone until the head space reaches the correct pressure for the desired volumes of co2 and leave it?
3. If I were to get a larger stone with assembly and put it through a T piece into the tank via the racking port with a ball valve on the short side of the T, can I rack from the short side of the T (as below). As I'd prefer not to be kegging from the base port.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kieran
