So I just have my first beer on my keggerator i just bought and the 1st time i was using a semi old c02 tank i was assuming was close to being empty and it seemed like thr tank ended. Sooo i just got a brand new 5 lb c02 tank went to hook it up and i tighten everything heard no hissing or anything. I did tighten the regulator to the c02 tank bottle with channel locks because i didnt have a wrench that big.
Over the next few days i keept checking on the regulator to make sure the psi was staying steady and it was so I thought I was good to go.
Today I went to pull the beer off and it seemed a lil flat and i checked it was still at about 8 psi.
So i went to pull the pressure relief value on the keg an no gas came out?
So i reconnected eveything and got some gas in then the bottle just completly went empty.
I'm not sure why because the pressure never dropped below my 8psi but maybe there was a slow leak and co2 was never in the keg? Even tho i had checked this one i 1st attached the keg?
So now I have to go out and buy a whole new co2 tank when this shoulda lasted another like 4 or 5 kegs lol and there is no co2 on my beer so I'm assuming thats going to go bad and flat?
