Hi folks,
I'm new to kegging, of course, and I'm having trouble with my regulator. I've got a very basic setup, one keg, one CO2 tank, single regulator. I just kegged my APA and I'm trying to force carb it. I hooked everything up, turned on the tank (about a quarter turn), and started turning the regulator up to 30psi.
Here's the trouble; there's a small hole next to the regulation screw that keeps leaking! The gauge rises about 5psi then that hole starts leaking CO2. I tighten the screw and the leak stops for the next 5psi before starting again. That cycle is endless. Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?
