Carbonation Disappearing

I made some burton bridge from a kit and secondary-fermented it in a 25 litre keg with a tap and a cap capable of taking a CO2 cartridge holder (none was fitted)
I left it in our warm utility room (circa 22°C) for five days to second-ferment with a standard amount of sugar then it was stored in the garage between 16-20°C (daytime). No leaks evident anywhere as the pressure was normal initially.



By the time the barrel was half empty the carbonation seemed less and the beer a bit flat, certainly different tasting to initial pours. I'm just taking a pint glass at a time rather than filling a jug.



Any advice on why this might be happening?

          my best guess is no leak, but as you pour, if you dont continue to keep the pressure constant, the carbonation will come out of solution, and you will continually get flatter and flatter beer as you pour more.



          example would be drink half of a 2L of soda, then let it sit with a cap on. in a day or 2 you'll notice the pressure will go up, and the soda will be flatter.



          My advised is buy a co2 cartridge to keep the carbonation up and the oxygen out.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
