I tried kegging for the first time last night. I thought everything went well until I checked it 5 minutes ago.
The tank is completely out already.
Since this was my first time and I'm only going on what I've read and basic intuition, I'm sure there were lots of areas I could have goofed.
I did a lot of cleaning and using the co2 to flush the keg and lines, but that can't be it.
One thing I thought was weird, was the tank pressure on the regulator was already in the red when I first attached it. I have to assume the welding shop correctly did it though, right?
One thing I saw while reading was something about a washer between the regulator and the tank? For my set up I just had the regulator spinny nut thing screw onto the tank. That's how it was given to me, so I didn't question it.
I guess I can check for leaks once I get more co2, but should I tell the people at the welding shop I think they may have shorted me, or will I just look like a jerk?
