When you say pressure barrel are you referring to a keg? I am going to make
some assumptions here:

Artificial carbonation in a keg pressurize when you rack to keg @ about
25psi for a few days. Sugar carbonation in a keg add 1/3 cup sugar that has
been boiled w/ water and wait for the 10 days. Pressure needs to be
maintained for the life or it will go flat..
