first time kegging, force carbing at 40f degrees and 20psi.
psi keeps dropping and won't stay constant at 20 psi - by morning it was around 5 psi
lhbs and other homebrewers say this is normal because the beer is absorbing the co2
others say the regulator should remain constant pressure
i've done the soap bubble test numerous times, can't find any bubbles being produced
if it's supposed to stay constant would someone mind providing a step by step on how to set the pressure properly - i'm assuming there's an order to when the valves should be opened, maybe something like close the regular gas line, turn regulator all the way to the left, open co2 tank valve, set psi, open gas line -- is that it?
