Hi it's my first time kegging, and of course I'm going with a double ipa!
I need it by Sunday to be carbonated so I did 30 psi, 20psi tomorrow and try it at 10 or something Saturday.

I know I'm suppose to release the pressure valve though I have no clue how to do it.

Ps it's in a fridge to stay cold! Let me know if I'm doing this right please!

Thanks
josh

Pin lock kegs don't normally have a manual release valve. Instead, you can remove the disconnect from the gas post and push the poppet down with a small screwdriver or something similar. Just make sure you are on the gas post, though. If you mistakenly push the poppet on liquid side you'll get a beer shower.
 
Nice it worked, thank you!
