I kegged my Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, and I can't seem to get it to keep pressure! I kegged an IPA on the same day and it seems to hold up well, and is carbing nicely.
I've checked the top of the keg with starsan and can't see even the tiniest amount of bubbles forming around the O-ring, or the poppets on the disconnect fittings, nor around the fittings where they screw in. I've also sprayed the relief valve down good and looked there and can't see anything there.
I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that this keg was recently used and held up pretty good. Strike that. I KNOW it was good last time because it had either some Belgian wit or an IPA from MBC in it. I only recently emptied both of those and filled again on same day with these beers.
I've been hitting it with 22 lbs. of CO2 like nearly every day. Normally I'd have the CO2 bottle in the fridge and just keep it on all the time, but I don't want to run out of CO2 and it in the way in there while I'm working on getting a new shelf that will support 2 full kegs. So I just hit it with gas and then take the gas line off.
Any ideas? How much gas can this beer hold?
