Contacted the place where I got my kegerator and all kegging equipment(beverage factory). They are sending a new regulator no questions asked. In the mean time, I have a spare regulator which is brand new(don't ask) I'm going to hook that up tonight and pressure test it and see if it holds.

Well then...it appears there is a problem with the regulator. I'll get in contact with Kegco and have them replace. Once it gets replaced, I'll run the same test and then continue to check for leaks. Thanks guys!

Ok so I finally got my tank refilled. Connected it but didn't hook it up to any tanks. Set it to 15 psi and shut the tank off. 4 days letter I checked the regulator and it had dropped 10psi to 5 psi. So it appears the regulator and/or the valves that block the c02 going from entering the tanks...

Is your cider clear? If not then there is still some yeast in suspension and stirring it up wouldn't matter. If it is, give it a very gentle spin, maybe that will start fermentation back up. If not, not the end of the world, it'll just be slightly lower in abv

I have a hard plastic type washer on the fitting that connects the regulator and the co2 tank so I don't think that's the issue

SP in the winter...I like your style!

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the tip. If that holds, I'll replace the valve and take it one connection at a time

Seems a bit high. I'd check every 3 days as suggested. If it seems stable, I'd reduce by 1 ajc and take it from there. Or dump half a packet of yeast and cold crash when you hit the correct FG and continue

By low pressure outlet port do you meant the gas lines aka just turn the valves to the "off" position so no gas runs out?

Hm that seems to be a pretty high FG. I usually hit 1.01 in about a week. What's your ferm temp?

Making your own extract is the best. I made vanilla extract that I used in this. I used 25 beans and a whole 750ml bottle of vodka. I waited about 8 months before using it(super strong) but 2-3 months would be a min. for me

If that's the case I'm calling kegco as this is a brand new regulator that came with my kegerator. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and have them send me a new one just to be safe

My new plan is to get the co2 filled and attach the regulator and open the co2 but leave the valves on the gas lines closed to see if it's my regulator/co2 connection or the leak is further down

Would pictures of each fitting be helpful. The directions that came with my kegco are crap but I've tried reading up online a lot

Ok so now I'm confused. A week ago I refilled the co2, tightened everything down, sprayed all connections with star San and saw no bubbles. Haven't been home in a week so just checked it. CO2 is empty and no pressure in my kegs. If both kegs don't have pressure does that mean I have a leak...
