So I just finished kegging my 2nd beer, and went to hook it up when I realized the gauge on the regulator indicated my CO2 was very low. I just had my CO2 filled last week and this is a brand new keg connection system (2 keg system).
My first question, is my beer going to go bad since I'm not sure if I'm able to adequately purge the oxygen in the headspace on it? It's almost 8PM at night and there's no where to go to get my CO2 refilled at this point. I'll have to do it first thing in the morning. I did put as much CO2 as I could in the keg and lifted the pressure relief valve and purged what I could, but was only able to do this a few times before I could not purge anymore.
And the 2nd question... trying to find the leak. I will use the soap/water method once I have the CO2 refilled, I tried using Starsan to check for leaks the first time around, but I'm not sure I was checking the right places or the most likely leak points. I did not use keg lube on my first beer I kegged last week, and my other concern is that I took the posts off the keg to sanitize and didn't exactly know what I was doing - just went off some images posted online. I may have screwed up, this is all new to me.
Any help would be most appreciated.
