    Okay, here's the deal, I'm new to kegging and this issue is driving me crazy! Don't hate on me too much.

    I've found numerous answers things dealing with under carbonation. But thought I would ask all of you.

    I made a grapefruit IPA and it's been in my keg for a week and a half. When I originally put it in the keg, I hooked up the CO2 and may have forgot to burp the keg :c, I know I know, stupid..

    But, I left there for about three days at 25 psi. Then a day at 10 psi. I tried it, tastes great! The problem was that it was a little under carbonated. Then I tried it again a few days later. Almost no carbonation. I checked for leaks at all the connections. No leaks.

    I have no clue what's going on but it's driving me crazy.

    Can anyone help me with this issue before I go bald ripping my hair out.

    Thank you in advance.

    if the carbonation is decreasing then you have a leak somewhere. easiest way to find the leak is to get a spray bottle with soapy water or starsan and soak everything from the regulator, connections, and even the keg posts and keg lid.

    Jayzon,

    I did that and saw nothing. Is it possible that it's so small that I wouldn't see it?
