I recently purchased my first kegerator and am a complete rookie so was looking for some expert help with a problem I have.
I hooked up my keg turned on my co2 tank and beer flowed ok.
I have since rehooked it up to the same keg just minutes later and tried turning my co2 tank on. As soon as I turn the tap to open the co2 the pressure release valve kicks in and makes a loud noise as I am assuming it releases pressure. I immediately turn the tank off as I don't know what this means. Can anyone tell me what is happening? Does it mean my keg has become over pressurised meaning I can't turn the tap on? Sorry I am a complete noob at this
Someone please help
