I have a regulator that is about 4-5 months old, came from Morebeer when I bought my keg set up.
It has served me very well, maybe about 5 or so kegs so far.
I installed a splitter on it, so I can feed two kegs, and have had really no issues with it, until this past week.
I noticed last week that the pressure on the regulator started spiking really high. I also noticed that this happened when I was about to run out of gas on my last tank. I was wondering why it was happening last week, since its a brand new filled tank...
I had it connected to two kegs, one was full, the other had maybe a gallon left in it. I noticed that while carbing up the new keg, beer was being pushed out of the tap, and the pressure was jumping up to 30 plus PSI. I kept bleeding and lowering the pressure, but it would keep jumping.
I went away for the weekend, and decided to remove the tap line from the full keg, but left it on the nearly empty keg. When I got home last night, all the beer left from the keg that was hooked up had been pushed out through the tap. I had left the gas on the other full keg, and when I hooked up the tap, it was waaaaay overcarbed, giving me all foam.
Do I have a faulty regulator, or is there another issue going on here? I hooked up to another full keg to start carbing, and its holding steady at 12PSI.... It has not spiked at all since I hooked it up last night.
Now, how do I deal with my overcarbed keg? I removed the gas, and have been bleeding it off. Any other advice? Should I return this regulator and pick up a new one?
