i was racking some beer into a keg last night and went to start carbing it and i could see my regulator dip down and then SLOWLY start working its way back up to where i had it set (30 psi). i only have the serving gauge on my regulator, so other than lifting or weighing the tank, i have no way of knowing how much gas is left.
would the slow filling lead anyone to believe the tank is getting low on gas? it's a 20# tank and i'm fairly careless with how i use it (force carbing, cleaning/sanitizing, etc.), but i would have thought it would last a little longer than this... guess i need to start checking for leaks again.
the odd thing is that when i open the valve without the regulator on it, there is definitely gas left in it... i guess my question is: is there a point where the tank gets too low to have enough pressure to serve beer but there may still be SOME gas left in the tank?
thanks.
