Hi All
New to the forums so hello from me.
I've had a search around but couldn't find an answer to the issue I'm having. Having just started brewing again (a kit) I'm not sure if some equipment is a bit old and needs replacing.
The issue I have is that there is no pressure building in the secondary fermentation barrel. I have tried injecting CO2 and this builds pressure but is lost again in a day or so. This clearly suggests a leak in the system but how would I find out where it is?
I have something similar to this
https://brewers-droop.com/collections/vessels/products/king-keg-top-tap-with-8g-pin-valve-cap
The seals seem all OK on the cap but is there a way to test them?
I suspect the tap is leaky but again don't know how to test it.
All of the kit was stored well while I wasn't brewing but it was years between brews.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. :smile:
EDIT:
This is the barrel
