I just started kegging (got my fridge and equipment Saturday and racked to kegs Sunday), and I have an issue that I'm not sure if it's my regulator or just lack of skill on my part.
Here's what I did:
I used the shake method to carbonate, but never got the pressure above about 18 psi with the keg at about 45 degrees. I disconnected the gas and left the keg in the fridge overnight. Monday morning I hooked up the gas, set the regulator to 12 psi and when I got home from work that night, the needle was at 40 psi. I bled some pressure from the keg, set it to 12 psi again and today when I got home from work today, it was at 45-50 psi.
I know nobody is messing with it. Is there a trick or do I have a crappy regulator?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
