Hi everyone
I've jumped into all grain after doing a few kits a few years ago. All seems to be good and my first pilsner is about 4 weeks into conditioning.
I've never used a barrel before but I have it conditioning in a wilko pressure barrel with co2 injector and bullets.
It smells great, is pretty clear, holds it's head nicely and tastes stunning but is sadly as flat as a pancake...
I didn't prime with any sugar (being a newbie I assumed the 2nd condition - ferment would give me fizz)
Will it eventually get a bubble if I use enough bullets in the barrel? Will the co2 absorb into the beer if I keep upping the pressure in the tub (without over pressuring to bursting point!)
I'll still drink it regardless and everyone that's tried it can't believe how good it tastes...would be better with a bubble though!
Thanks in advance for any help restoring my fizz....
