Man, this latest batch of beer is really kicking my ass. First the spigot on my new fermenter leaked, then today I tried to keg my beer for the first time and once I got it in the cleaned and sanitized keg, I hit it with C02, and there was an audible leak coming from the pressure release valve. I tried using the C02 to give it a nice seal but no matter how I configured the cap, there was a leaking sound coming from the PRV. I was thinking of transferring it to my other keg, which is very dirty, but I couldn't get the posts off of that, so I just called it a day.
Now I have a bunch of beer sitting in a keg in my fridge without carbonation. I guess I'll grab another keg tomorrow and transfer, or maybe I will try to naturally carbonate it with sugar, but idk. It's sitting at like 40 F right now. I think I'd have to crank the heat up for a day, so might as well get a keg that works. Plus, I took it off the yeast cake around day 5 because of the spigot leak.
Anyways, the sample is tasting good, so I am optimistic but sweaty and tired.
