Disclaimer: I'm completely new to kegging. I've searched around, but haven't found any threads that really cover this.
In playing around and looking to carb my first keg, I'm noticing a few things that I think are odd. Please let me know if this is normal for a dual regulator system.
Note:
- I always attach the carbing keg to the "outside" regulator - the one furthest from the tank.
- There is nothing attached to the "inside" regulator - the one closest to the tank.
- Ambient temperature is about 55 degrees
- My system is the Brew Logic Dual Tap Draft System
Issues:
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

In playing around and looking to carb my first keg, I'm noticing a few things that I think are odd. Please let me know if this is normal for a dual regulator system.
Note:
- I always attach the carbing keg to the "outside" regulator - the one furthest from the tank.
- There is nothing attached to the "inside" regulator - the one closest to the tank.
- Ambient temperature is about 55 degrees
- My system is the Brew Logic Dual Tap Draft System
Issues:
- With both regs set to 0 and gas off, when connecting the keg, the attached reg doesn't show pressure. I need to open up the gas for the reg dial to (presumably) climb to the pressure of the attached keg. Maybe this is normal and is the reason for a "bleeder valve" setup?
- When not connected to a keg, and the gas is on, the outside regulator will spin up to around 50 psi before the overflow valve starts letting out
- When turning the knob to the desired pressure, it will fill to the pressure, but then overshoot. I typically need to "sneak up" to the right pressure
- When looking to shut down the system, I unattach the keg and turn off the gas. In order for the previously attached (outside) regulator to get to zero and not continually climb, I need to set the internal regulator to some PSI and purge the outside until zero. Then I need to purge the inside regulator. During this, the outside climbs a little so I then purge it the rest of the way.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
