New to kegging... Pressure dropping on gage.

[350_Malibu]

Just kegged my first home brew, oh so much faster than bottling! Have the keg in the fridge for carbing for 2 hours now and the CO2 pressure has dropped to 27 psi, i was told to leave @ 30psi for 48 hours. Im assuming the temp difference is lowering the bottle pressure? Should I keep adjusting the regulator to maintain 30psi, or let it ride?

Thanks...
Kyle

27, 30 doesn't matter much. just don't forget to take it back down to 11ish after a while or it'll be overcarbed.

I was told 48 hours, is that about right?

Yes, 48 hours will be enough time at ~30 psi.

Cool, thanks guys. I checked the pressure when I woke up this morning and it was down to ~25psi. It may not have been a big deal, but I cranked the pressure regulator back up to 30. We'll see how this batch turns out.
