First time kegging and I just put on the gas and turned the regulator knob so that the psi gauge needle was as close to 9 as I could get. As I turned the knob, the needle wouldn't move smoothly but it kept jumping up. It was difficult to get it to 9 psi. Also, when it went a little above 9 to around 10-11 the needle would start flickering back and forth and it seems like the CO2 tank was giving out gas but there was a sound that made it seem like it was struggling... It was really difficult to find a way to adjust the knob such that it would stop flickering and was close to 9 psi. Any ideas what is going on here?
