So I sprayed some of my gas line connections with a bottle of star-san mixture. There is a slight leakage by the check valve in the beer line, but more importantly there was some active bubbling where the valve connects to the tank itself. Not at the regulator but at the neck of the CO2 tank.
I am attempting to keg via the set and forget method. Keg has been at about 16 psi for 1.5 days.
Should I shut off the gas on the tank to preserve that gas or does it need to be hooked up. If it needs to stay hooked up, why? If the keg itself does not leak, why does the gas need to have a constant flow?
Is it due to the absorption of CO2 into the liquid?
The regulator has not really dropped at all. It is a single gauge.
