Ok I used a keg I had used previously since it never leaked and held pressure. Cleaned, sanitized and lubed it. I put 5 gallons of Apfelwein in it and primed it with 3/4 cup of dextrose. Pressurized it to 30 psi and disconnected the gas and set it aside.
Like all my kegs every couple days I do a quick yank on the pressure relief to be sure it's holding pressure (paranoid I know) so last night I yank it and instead of the hard Pfffft I get from 30 psi I got barely a pfft.
I repressurized it today and sprayed all around the top with starsan and saw no bubbles. I then used the leak test stuff I got from the welding shop that is even more sensitive and bubbles at the slightest leak and saw no bubbles.
So did the the CO2 get absorbed into solution so there was less psi or should there still had been 30psi of pressure?????
