I have a BevAir kegerator with two kegs running off one Micromatic regulator. I have the regulator set to 10 psi, but when I pour a beer the pressure will drop to 8-9 and then take a while to get back up to 10. Maybe 30 minutes or so. Once this happens, if I close the gas valve going to the kegs the regulator will immediately jump to 10. Open the valve back up and it drops back down to 8-9. Anyone have any ideas what's causing this?

1. Make sure the main valve on your CO2 tank is completely open.Originally posted by infantrytroop22 View Post
2. Check for a clogged CO2 line.
3. Make sure your Thomas check-valve is not obstructed.
4. If you have an extra keg coupler, then try a different coupler. If the new coupler solves the problem or you don't have another coupler, then disassemble your coupler and clean it.
5. If none of this works, then it could be a bad regulator.Last edited by Johntomk; 09-13-2015, 10:02 AM. -
Sorry, what's the Thomas check-valve? I'm clueless, I know...Originally posted by Johntomk View PostComment

No problem! It's the rubber valve that prevents liquid from backing up into your CO2 line. When you disconnect the CO2 line from the coupler you should see it. It will either be stuck to the end of the CO2 line or sitting in the coupler where the CO2 line connects.Originally posted by infantrytroop22 View PostComment

Thanks! How should I check to see if the CO2 lines are obstructed?Originally posted by Johntomk View PostComment

Disconnect the CO2 line and open the valve. Gas should come out and blow anything in the line out.Originally posted by infantrytroop22 View PostComment

Thanks. I figured that out right after I posted my question. Haha. Not sure why I didn't think of that. Duh.Originally posted by Johntomk View PostComment
