Thank you I'm going to try and troubleshoot it today

Yes the outlet was open, I switched it to my old single regulator because I don't have anything in my second keg right now but still not sure why my one regulator is creeping it did not start until yesterday and it's only a couple months old .... Is there a way to fix it ? i.e. a rebuild kit?

All, So I kegged an ipa yesterday and set my regulator to 10psi and when I woke up this morning it said 60psi on my regulator. So my questions is ...is my regulator broken and even more important have I ruined my beer at that psi.... Thanks in advance!!!!

I have two buckets and one better bottle. I'm thinking of taking my old mr beer fermenter with me to make beer with me not the road.

Thank you for the advice guys. I don't know what I'm going to do not being able to brew for 6 weeks.

Thanks .... Is keeping the temp control (lower than normal) important when u leave it that long ... I use a swamp cooler I can get swmbo to swap frozen water bottles for me when I'm away

Well I will try it both ways and see how it turns out once again thanks for all the help this forum is a lifesaver

Thanks I appreciate all the help I'm going to take gravity reading should be at final seeing that a week ago it was basically there 1.014 ( kit says 1.010 to 1.012 is final) and dry hop for 5 to 7 days then bottle. Hope my first batch turns out good !!!

Thank you for the advice after reading the wealth of knowledge on this forum I decided to not rack to secondary to avoid the exposure to O2. Lesson learned though I will try hop once primary fermentation is winding down. That being said though if I want to leave in primary for 3 weeks or so if I...

Ok so I'm new at this so forgive me if this is a dumb question or has been asked before. I brewed my first batch which was an extracted based IPA 2 weeks ago that involves dry hopping after 14 days. My question is I have not seen any activity in the airlock since last week and I'm somewhat...
