Before we start serving the beer we want to confirm that the regulator and all attached hoses are
properly sealed so there are no CO
2
leaks in the system. Pressure leaks need to be fixed ASAP
because if left unchecked they will cause the CO
2
tank to drain, which can be potentially dangerous
if located in a closed area. Testing is relatively straightforward:
Once your system is fully set up:
• Open the CO
2
tank valve.
• Turn up the pressure through the regulator to 20 PSI.
• Turn off the CO
2
tank valve.
• Wait a couple hours then check the pressure on the regulator.
If it has not dropped, then there are no leaks. Release the pressure and reset the regulator to your
desired serving pressure.
If there was a drop in pressure, then spray/wipe soapy water on all the points where there may be a
leak. Such as:
• All tubing connections.
• Where the regulator attaches to the CO
2
tank.
When gas escapes and hits the soapy water it will create bubbles. Wherever you find these bubbles
tighten the connection.
