I'm a newbie and kegged and forced carbonated my first beer yesterday afternoon. My process was as follows:
1) Applied 24 PSI (this was based upon the recommended temperature/volume for my beer type)
2) Released C02 through Pressure relief valve
3) Repeated steps 1 and 2 four times
4) Kept gas connected at 24 PSI and rolled keg on floor for about 10 minutes
5) Moved keg and gas (still attached at 24 PSI) to my garage where it was roughly 60 degrees (don't have a fridge yet)
6) Before bed I checked gauge and still at 24 PSI
7) Got up this morning and checked gauge and it was all the way down to 12 PSI
Any ideas why I had the drop? Assuming the temperature in the garage dropped overnight, did the level of C02 diminish because of the drop in temperature?
Any help is REALLY appreciated!
