    "Tapped" a 5l minikeg today and realized I had a bad bung. No seal, totally flat. It's been conditioning for 3 weeks.

    I replaced the bung with a new one. Is it too late?

    are you hooked to co2 or using yeast?

    Yeast. Thus my concern. I assume it has consumed all the sugar.

    GRRRR

    The bottles came out great

    I will check in a week for any sign of carbonation.

    Otherwise, I may save it and combine with a future batch? Interesting experiment?
