I have noticed that every time I carb my keg, I will set my pressure to say 12 psi for set and forget. Ill hear the tank and see the gauge rise to 12 psi. I’ll go back the next day and the gauge will read 9 psi or something less than what I set it. So I would always just turn the knob and set the pressure again.
I thought it was just my regulator, however, I recently got four duotight inline regulators for my kegerator build. I noticed that the pressure dropped even using this so I turn it back up to get to pressure.
I am assuming this is normal because l have leak tested everything and see no indication of leaks.
So my question is: shouldn’t the tank be automatically feeding co2 to maintain the pressure I set? I was hoping someone could explain how regulators work in relation to pressure. I know how everything works, in theory, but I don’t understand what’s happening in the scenario I outlined.
