Can anyone explain this to me? I had a 10% ABV imperial stout in my keg for a total of 5 weeks at 14 psi and 40 degrees, and it had little if any carbonation. After 3 weeks, I refilled my CO2 tank (though it still had 1 lb of CO2), and I replaced all parts on the top of the keg (CO2 post, lid, beer post, beer line). I dipped a sanitized measuring cup into the beer after a couple of days with the next CO2, and the sample was carbonated. So I waited for two more weeks. Still no carbonation when I poured a beer (and the beer had always poured fine with no foaming, it was just not carbonated). Today I did a keg-to-keg transfer, because it was the only thing I hadn't done yet. Once the beer was in a new keg, it was instantly carbonated. After kegging beers for years and not having any problems, I've never see anything like this. Does anyone have an explanation?
