Barleywine not carbonating

[bilhelm96]

I made my bourbon barrel barleywine and have been force carbonating it for 20 days and it is not carbonating. I checked for leaks but there aren't any and the flow out of the faucet is normal. The oak chips are still in the keg in a bag and I put in a couple of ounces of bourbon when I kegged. Any ideas? Could it be the oak or the bourbon?

I use the "set it and forget it" force carbonating method at 13 psi and 40 degrees.

just to clarify , its now in a 5 gallon keg slow carbing or in a barrel ?

In a 5 gallon keg. It never was in a barrel. I put the bourbon soaked oak chips and the couple of ounces of bourbon into the keg when I racked the beer into the keg from the carboy.

never tried to carbing with something inside so couldn't tell ya, try the fource carbing by rolling it gently on its side on 30 psi for 15 minutes
