I just kegged my first batch. My 5lb CO2 tank was at about 900 psi starting out.
After 24 hours at 30 psi, with a 7 minute knee rocking at the beginning, I turned the tank off and purged. Repressurized to 12 psi.
The tank is now down to about 500 psi...
The beer (hefeweizen) is almost fully carbed. Probably could use a tad more. It is definately carbed though, not flat.
I read, that if there is a leak the beer will be flat.
I also sprayed soapy water on the tank to reg connection, around the corny kid, and on both corny connection posts.
After I saw the big drop, I resprayed all the above with star san. I saw no bubbling. I worked changing tires when younger, so I definitely know what a leak sprayed with soap looks like.
Is this normal, or what could be causing my problem.
Btw, the beer is great this batch! Posting drunk...
Thanks!
