Hi,
I think I am getting crazy. I have just built my kegerator and I am doing my experiments and getting to know the CO2 cylinder, regulator, etc.
I tried filling my corny with tap water, pumped pressure up to 50 psi and left it in the refrigerator over 4 days to carbonate, with no connections (no beer and no gas disconnects). When I came back today, I pulled the corny release valve and there was no pressure at all! How can that be? I have repressurized and checked for leaks with spray and soapy water and didn't notice any leak. The water is slightly carbonated though. Do I have a leak? I can understand that some of the CO2 can have been absorbed by the water, but all of it is not possible, right?
