Cornelius Keg with ball lock not letting the beer out

[cervezafausto]

Hi, this is my first time I tried a forced carbonation, since know everything es good, but I am having a problem. I bought a 5 gallon ball lock keg system to build my kegerator

I want to try my beer to know if is already carbonated. I put my co2 tank at 10 PSI but when I open my faucet nothing happens, This is my first time I work with cornelius kegs and faucets I don't know if Im doing something wrong? I already check if the posts are correctly installed and everything seems to be right, I dont know y my ball locks have some kind of lock.

Try lowering the pressure in the keg using the pressure relief valve.

does anything at all happen? does it blow gas out? what happens when you pull the pressure relief on the keg?

 

[TipsySaint]

is there a valve on your C02 line that you forgot to put in the open position? Totally done that one before...

It should release co2. I would check your connections and make sure they're all the way down on the posts.

When I pull the pressure relief a lot of gas escapes, is it normal? What should I do

Nop, everything its ok

man you were totally right, thanks a lot. Im surprised about the difference between carbonating with sugar and with co2, the foam is more creamy.
