This is more of a vent/looking for feedback. Kegged my first beer. Put 2 gallons of starsan in, washed it around and used the pressure to pump it through the out post through my serving line and transfer line. ( I got extra tubing with quick disconnect for the "OUT" post. I used this tubing to connect to my autosiphon to transfer from carboy.)
However, I had a hard time pushing the disconnect pin in to get a flow going from the auto siphon. When I finally did and get it connected to the out post, It ended up getting clogged with debris. I Dunno if my auto siphon is broken but I had a lot of air bubbles in the line from the carboy to the keg. I did vent the keg as the beer went in. Eventually get done, then I have a hard time getting a seal for the keg lid and not leak.
Eventually get it in my fridge, now the kicker, my high pressure gauge has gone down from the 58 mark to 40. So I closed off the CO2 tank, and this morning the high pressure guage was at 0 (low pressure to the keg is still set at 20 psi). Which I'm pretty sure means I'm leaking from the regulator to the tank.
They tell me bottling is harder lol.
