5 bottles of co2 have leaked empty in my keezer in the year I have been kegging. The first bottle was an easy fix, had a faulty check valve, found it, replaced it, good to go. Then got a second manifold and regulator, emptied three bottles before I found the faulty check valve on that. Disconnected the second regulator and manifold, now I just have the bottle goign to the regulator, to a 5 way manifold, to the kegs. I had a bottle that was holding well for about 3 weeks, carbed up beer, had a party, had plenty of co2, just fine for 2 1/2 weeks after, checked pressure every couple days as I was still scared of leaks, finally felt comfortable and I go to fill a growler Saturday night, zero pressure again. It had maybe been 4-5 days since I had check on the keezer, I was sick so no drinking. I am dumbfounded, we took every single piece of the kegging setup and submerged it underwater to look for leaks, that is how we found the faulty check valve this time. I don't know how the pressure can stay steady for 3 weeks and then with zero change to the sytem empty out over 4-5 days. What am I missing, what am I doing wrong, I am so tired of this bs.
