Hey all,
Im pretty new to kegging and I just put a batch of beer into a keg and began force carbing it. It is at 38 degrees and im am trying to keep 10 psi on it. I say trying because it seems like every time i check the regulator it has dropped down to 8 or even as low as 5. Should i just leave it alone and not keep resetting the regulator back to 10? I dont want an over carbed beer so im worried about keep jacking with the pressure. Ive checked for leaks and everything seems sound. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 
Sounds like you have a slow leak. I would check again if I were you. I have the exact opposite problem. When I first keg it takes a few days for it to equalize and will over shoot my set PSI.
