Greetings everyone,
I recently kegged my first beer and I’m pretty excited about the whole process. I set the PSI to 30 and forced carbed for about 36 hours based on a recommendation from my LHBS because I need it for an event this weekend (I purged CO2 after rolling the keg around too), and have let it sit at 15 psi since then (kegged it 7/29 around noon). But being really paranoid about getting under carbonated beer, I pulled the release valve on the keg today to make sure there was no oxygen left inside.
What I’m getting now is constant air flow from the valve that doesn’t stop the way oxygen normally would. When I do burp it though, I’m noticing the psi meter on the regulator drop, then go back up when I stop burping. Is the air I’m getting when I burp purely co2? Or do I just have an insane amount of oxygen inside? After force carbbing I made sure to burp the oxygen out a few times.
Any advice helps!
