I think I may know the answer to this question, but I'll post it in here anyway to see if anyone had the same issue:
2 nights ago I hooked up my new co2 system just to one corny. I first hit my tank with 20 psi and saw some beer coming out of the 'out' because I didnt' hook it up to my tap yet. My keg was also filled almost to the brim, so I thought there may have been just too much beer in it. After I connected it to the tap it didn't leak anymore. I also saw some bubbles coming out of the main lid. I then cranked it up to about 35 psi to seal it tight. From there, it was looking good. I then bled it 3 times and lowered psi to 15 and let it sit overnight. Last night when I got home, I turned up the co2 to 35 and did the shake method for a few minutes. After that, I turned it back down to 15 psi and let it sit overnight again. This morning I woke up and my psi had dropped down to 0psi. I thought 'crap i have a leak and im out of co2'. But when I turned the screw to turn the psi back up it actually went back to 15 psi. If I had a leak and it ran out of gas, why was I able to turn it back up to 15 psi?? So I'm very confused as to whether or not I have a leak, or if the psi somehow just lowered itself back to 0? My guess is that I do have a leak and I'm going to have to change all the O rings. Also, is it ok for the beer to have been sitting on 0 psi all night? Any help here is greatly appreciated!
