I think my regulator is broken. I can't get it to set at a particular pressure; even with the regulator closed, the pressure (somewhat slowly) maxes out. I took it apart and noticed a leak around the central needle-valve. I fear it's busted. Can someone confirm?
So now I can't keep pressure on my fresh keg of brown ale. I have been pressuring it up to 15-20 psi and letting it sit in the fridge (cold aging). When I check the pressure 12 hours later, there is none. I've checked for leaks and can't find any. I hope that the beer is absorbing the CO2, but I don't know for sure. What's going on?
