Hey folks,
Been kegging with the same system for years and something weird just started happening. When I swap CO2 tanks, I always do the following:
1. Turn all valves off and turn pressure as low as possible.
2. Replace tank
3. Open valve in tank
At this point, the new odd behavior begins: the needle starts increasing quickly. Within a couple seconds, it’s pinned at the max.
4. open the shutoff valve.
At this point, the needle drops back down to zero.
5. slowly turn up the pressure to about 5psi
Except it doesn’t stop. It *slowly* creeps up to 15+ or more after a few hours (maybe less). I back it down to zero, bleed off, and slowly increase to 5 psi again. But the cycle repeats—until I’m out of gas again!
I’ve got an edgestar kegerator and I’m using the regulator that came with it. Is this fixable or is it time to toss this regulator?
Thanks in advance!
