I got my kegartartor assembled, and am performing a dry run using two kegs with 3 gallons of plain water (filled at tap water temps) in them.
No apparent leaks when I hooked everything up. Set the reg to 12 psi, and it dispensed fine. I checked it every hour or so last night, and everything stayed the same. No leaks, no pressure change.
This morning I go and check it, and the water is coming out of the tap much slower. I look at the reg, and the pressure had dropped to 5 psi. I gave the knob a quick turn, it went back to 12 psi, and dispensed fine again.
My question is, is this normal or signifying a problem. Since the temp of the water in the keg went down to 45 overnight, and I'm sure the water absorbed some co2, would that cause the reading on the reg to drop? Do you typically have to make adjustments when putting a new "warm" keg on tap as that keg cools?
I guess it goes without saying, keg newb here.

fridge conversion
brew logic quad keg system from MW
4 way co2 manifold
two taps - picnic taps (not hooked up yet)
two taps - perlicks through the door (being used for the test)
