Hey all,
New to the forums here. I'm two 5 gallon batches into moving to a kegging set up.
Not even through the second batch I realized I'm already out of CO2.
From the CO2 swap place I go to - apparently one of the canisters should last 5 or more 5 gallon batches. So, I'm trying to find the leak and believe I have it isolated from the quarter turn valve directly after the regulator.
With that closed, I set the regulator to 20-22 psi, charge the line and then close the supply.
After approximately 1 min 30 seconds of solid, unchanging pressure, the dial starts dropping and is back to zero after about 2 mins.
I replaced the gasket between the CO2 canister and regulator fitting - no change.
I sprayed soap-water on all fitting at CO2 canister, regulator, and quarter turn valve fitting. No bubbles whatsoever.
Any ideas? Can the regulator leak from any where else?
Thanks,
Joe Taylor
