I just got my keg setup and starting carbing my first beer about 5 days ago. It's an imperial stout 16%ABV. I put it in my fridge at about 35 degrees. I am using a 2.5g carboy and a 20 oz co2 tank with a mini regulator on it. I set the regulator to about 5-6 PSI. After the first day it dropped 1-2psi so I openned it up to reach 5-6 again. I had to do this for the first 2-3 days. After 5 days I took a sample off the tap. It had almost 0 carbonation as far as I could tell. Any ideas on what's going on. I decided for the time being to turn it up so I have it sitting at 8-9psi now.
