I kegged my first beer yesterday and want to force carbonate it at 30 PSI for 48 hours. It has been around 36 hours and the psi went from 30-15. It put it back to 35 and 1 hour later, it droppend to 20 psi. So what's going on?
Note: the keg and Co2 tank was in a cold room (around 40 celsius, maybe lower), the pressur inside the Co2 tank indicated that it was at 500psi, which is normal because of the relation between pressure and cold temperature, so i put the Co2 tank back at room temperature and the keg is still in the cold room. I let a small opening through the door so that only the tube from the Co2 tank (room temp) to the keg (cold room) could pass through the door.
