Keg Questions

[Hoyt]

I have finished setting up my keg system but have a question for the gurus. I have one keg that if you leave overnight the pressure on the main gauge drops to nearly zero but the pouring pressure stays stable at 10 psi. Is this normal as i cant find any leaks? I carbonated it with ross's method but maybe not quite enough.

Sounds normal to me. Once you turn your bottle off the high pressure gauge will drop as the co2 on the low side is absorbed into the beer.

Sounds normal to me.

If your bottle is off, that's normal. If it's still on and the high-side gauge reads 0, you're out of gas.

Found that the gas quick connect was leaking around the top when i put it in water. A quick tighten of the top and all good!

I have had my whole system in the pool to check for leaks. Too bloody cold to swim in
