Hey folks; since this is my second keg of beer I'm working on now and I THOUGHT I had a leaking relief valve (but a replacement last night had the same result overnight)--I thought of something I should ask about.
The first keg, I did the "hit with high psi and shake it around" and this second keg I figured I'd "set it and forget it"--I've set my psi (in this case, to around 14 based on my temp and hose distance, etc.) and then at the end of the day when home from work / overnight, the pressure is reading down to about 6-7 psi.
I thought I may have a leak BUT (light bulb went on in my head) now I'm thinking: is this just the CO2 going into solution? And, thus, dropping the pressure?
I'm setting the pressure and then turning OFF my CO2 tank and letting the keg sit---should I be leaving the CO2 open and set the pressure at "the psi I need" on the regulator?
