I got a Cony keg setup for Christmas and have made a Festvial kit which is now in the Keg.
I am having a few issues with the CO2 regulator and these could be down to me but I am concerned it may be faulty.
The kit was brewed and racked it into the keg and added the priming sugar that came with the kit becuase I had it basically. I know most people don't prime kegs and force carbonate but I thought I would give it a try. The keg was connected to the CO2 cannister and purged of oxygen once filled.
The brew is now ready to drink and so I turned on the gas at the cylinder, turned on the regulator to 10. The beer is flowing although slower than I imagined. I noticed that the regulator has dropped to about 2 PSI although there is plenty of gas in the cylinder. The regulator is pretty much fully open just using my hand. Am I doing something wrong, or is the regulator possibly faulty?
This is the type of regulator.
